Diffusers: The easiest way to fill your home with festive aromas. Add 5–10 drops of your favorite blend into water.
Room sprays: Combine essential oils with water and a little witch hazel in a spray bottle for an instant refresh.
DIY ornaments: Dab a few drops on pinecones or wooden ornaments for a subtle, lasting scent.
