November through January are months that are traditionally filled with parties, holiday get togethers and a variety of social gatherings. Proper etiquette suggests that one should not arrive at an event in a private home without bringing a small gift to offer to the host or hostess. But what type of housewarming gift should you bring that won’t be lost in the excitement of the event, that doesn’t create an immediate distraction for the hostess (like flowers or food that needs to be chilled), and that is truly thoughtful for your host? Following are numerous housewarming gift ideas that are all proven for success!
Aromatherapy Gifts
Whether your host is male or female, aromatherapy housewarming gifts are always a welcome alternative. If you are unsure of what aromatherapy is, think of how fantastic you feel when you inhale the aromatics from a freshly cut pine tree or remember the feeling that you got when you walked into your mom’s kitchen and smelled those warm brownies baking in the oven! Those sensations are what the science of aromatherapy develops. You can actually alter your mood just from the fragrances that you are inhaling.
Aromatherapy gifts such as fragrant mists, candles and bath and beauty products are ideal housewarming gifts. However, it is imperative to be sure that your aromatherapy products are botanically based and use all natural fragrances. This one factor is critical since chemical dyes and fragrances contribute to the majority of reactions experienced by very sensitive people.
A trusted and favorite line of botanically based aromatherapy products is manufactured in the United States by Arbonne International. Although the company’s entire line hails from Switzerland, the products are produced in America with raw materials from around the globe. Check out their website for convenient online ordering, and your gifts will be at your doorstep in just a few days.
Arbonne’s aromatherapy candles make fantastic housewarming gifts whether they are presented in a simple gift bag or wrapped in festive paper. They are soy based candles that burn for 60 to 70 hours and smell divine! Try the Awaken scent which has citrus high notes that create a refreshing ambience, the Reactivate scent which has a woodsy, masculine fragrance that makes a great gift for male hosts, or the Unwind scent which has a light scent of chamomile and ylang ylang to create a relaxing, peaceful environment.
In addition to these three candle options, two additional candle fragrances which are perfect for female hosts are the Star Jasmine Tuberose and the Black Orchid Cassis. The former is a light floral reminiscent of a Hawaiian lei and the latter offers a sensual, luxurious aroma with a lighter citrus end note.
