Is there truly anything more festive than a Christmas advent calendar? I love using fragrant Yankee Candles all year round, so I've already got this advent calendar ready for the 12 days of Christmas (25th of December to January 5th) and can't wait to open mine.

Stuffed full of all their best and most-loved scents, all crafted from a natural soy wax blend, these mini candles are just the right size to find a new signature scent for the new year. Soy is non-toxic and superior to many other candle wax types.

2. NEST Fragrances Reed Diffuser- Bamboo

Why not gift one of the best reed diffusers, to transform any space and make a home smell expensive?

I love getting a reed diffuser as a gift, particularly if it's picked out in one of my favorite scents. This bamboo one from NEST is floral and refreshing, with hints of citrus to keep it light. NEST diffusers are also cruelty-free and vegan.

3. 96NORTH Luxury Vanilla Soy Candle

Nothing says cozy season like vanilla, and the 96NORTH candles available at Amazon are a gorgeous home fragrance find to keep your home smelling great all winter – with a luxury quality, without the price tag to match.

With notes of vanilla and cream, and a subtle hint of bourbon, this is one of the best fall candles and makes the perfect entryway scent for fall to transition your home into the colder months. And, with a 50 hour burn-time, it will last you all season long.

4. ASAKUKI Smart Wi-Fi Essential Oil Diffuser

I've used my MUJI Ultrasonic Aroma Diffuser available at Amazon for years, since I received it as a much-loved gift for Christmas, so I can vouch for the fact they make the best home gifts.

This one is great for any home fragrance enthusiast who's big on smart home must-haves. It's app and voice control compatible, with Amazon Alexa, using smart Wi-Fi technology to create the perfect, relaxing sanctuary and make a bedroom smell good for sleep – which is how I use mine.

5. Skandinavisk Skog 'Forest' Scented Candle

I recommend the Skandinavisk candles available at Amazon to everyone, and this one has become a tried and true favorite since I was gifted it for Christmas last year.

It's a little different from your usual Christmas candles, as it doesn't have any gourmand, or sweet tones. Instead, it smells like a crisp winter morning, with notes of pine needles, birch sap, and lilly of the valley. I'm definitely stocking up in the sales!

And, if you prefer something a little more outwardly festive, the bestselling Santa's Naturals Fraser Fir Christmas Candle available at Amazon is also included in their Black Friday deals, and is a great, affordable option to bring the scent of Christmas into any home.
