During the holiday season, small gifts can go a long way. Surprise drop-ins, teacher gifts, secret santas, stocking stuffers… the list is endless and the last thing you want to do is be caught unprepared. Yet one of the most challenging things that come with small (and back-up) gifts is balancing the versatility (so they work for anyone) and the use (because the last thing anyone wants is a gift they won’t use). That’s why we recommend lemon myrtle gifts.
Unique, refreshing, and suited for a wide range of people, literally every single human or pet, you can’t go wrong with a lemon myrtle gesture of appreciation. No need to worry about dietary restrictions, excessive plastic waste, or any second-thoughts you have when buying those extra gifts. Plus, lemon myrtle has natural, uplifting mental and physical qualities, making it an ideal scent for the holiday season that shows how thoughtful you are. Win-win anyone?
