Planning Early for the Holidays? Fill Your Home with the Fragrance of the Season with ScentSicles®
Scented Ornaments Help Artificial Trees "Smell Like Christmas" and are the Simple Secret to Creating a Memorable Holiday
ATLANTA, Nov. 18, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Though Halloween costume memories are still fresh in our minds and we're planning Thanksgiving menus and travel, the biggest holiday is right around the corner – Christmas. As a contrast to previous years, many people aren't waiting until the last minute this year and are planning and purchasing for the holiday much earlier in the season.

During the holiday season, when we open our doors to entertain our family and friends, homes are literally bursting with decorations, lights, holiday food and the distinct fragrances of the season. Since the holidays are often the busiest times of the year, people are looking for easy shortcuts to create a festive mood in their homes. It's not surprising that more and more people are turning to artificial trees, which are now displayed in an estimated 50 million homes.(1)
However, the convenience of an artificial tree can come at the expense of the familiar and much-loved holiday scent of a real tree. A simple way to overcome this challenge is to use ScentSicles®, the only scented ornaments that make artificial trees smell real throughout the holiday season.
Infused with pure fragrance oils, ScentSicles make any tree smell fresh cut for weeks. They can be hung as decorative ornaments, or hidden in tree boughs and floral arrangements to evoke cherished holiday memories, and create a warm and inviting environment for holiday entertaining. In fact, in a recent study the smell of fresh pine "evoked feelings of nostalgia" and "84% of the time, the feelings were associated with a positive mood."(2) ScentSicles are a great way to boost the smell of the holidays throughout the other rooms in your home. Furthermore, ScentSicles offer those that have allergies to real trees, and must use artificial trees, the ability to still enjoy the scent of Christmas.
ScentSicles are easy to use, biodegradable and safer for children and pets than other home fragrance products, making them an ideal gift for the holiday season. ScentSicles come in three enticing tree scents: Douglas Fir, Blue Spruce, and White Pine and are available seasonally at Walmart, Bed Bath & Beyond, Michaels, and Hallmark stores nationwide, as well as at ScentSicles.com and HomeDepot.com. Suggested retail price for a pack of 6 sticks: $6.99.
This year, planning early with shortcuts such as ScentSicles is a simple way to help maintain the joy and festive nature of the season.
