Simmer festive spices

Simply pop all your favourite festive scents in a pan of simmering water and let the smell fill your home. This is a perfect trick when hosting Christmas drinks. Try cinnamon, citrus fruits, star anise, cardamom, cloves, ginger and an apple. Once they have bubbled away, set the fruit slices aside and use them to make dried decorations.

Fresh sprigs of foliage will make any home smell like Christmas. You could either forage bunches of greenery on your next winter walk, or order a delightful bunch from your favourite florist.

Dried fruit garland

Dried fruit Christmas decorations smell amazing both while you make them and for weeks after – and they look great too. Simply slice citrus fruits thinly and lay them out on an oven tray. You can press cloves into the segments for extra scent if you like. Bake them on a very low heat (75oC) for about two hours or once they are dry. Display them in a glass bowl or make a hole in the middle of the slices and add them to a garland.
