Flavors, Scents and Sounds of the Season - a list by hanahula

About this list:

The scent of pine, a roaring fire, maple candy . . . these are just a few of my favorite holiday things. And the list only gets bigger as time goes on. So, in the spirit of the season, I would like to share my list with you . . . maybe you'll be inspired to add a few of these things to your own tradition (if you haven't already.)

Qualifications:

I come from a long line of merrymakers.

Hawaiian Body Products: Kukui Candles

First to recommend

Description

Derived from sources naturally found on the island of Hawaii, burning all the way down to the wick and producing virtually no soot, these candles are inherently cleaner and greener. But what I really love are the scents: Coconut Lemongrass, Jasmine Neroli, Passion Fruit Citrus, Sandalwood Verbena and Vanilla Ginger. Available in both large and travel sizes. An instant aroma getaway. Good gifting.

If you cannot deliver a bottle to your favorite oenophile in person, you can do them one better: send them a selection of holiday wines from the cellars of Chiarello Vineyards. Both the 3-bottle or 6-bottle gifts will include the Giana Zinfandel, a vineyard specialty. Buon gifting.

The Dom Perignon of tea in a limited edition holiday blend, including cloves, apples and cinnamon. A full container (50 bags) of this black tea would be a lovely hostess gift, while the traveler's tins are beautiful enough to be stuffed, as is, in a stocking.

Dancing Deer Baking Co: Blondies

First to recommend

Brown sugar and butter. Deadly combination. Add some heaping handfuls of chocolate chips and you have yourself a sinfully rich Blondie brownie. Eight can go straight from the ovens of Dancing Deer to one (or several) lucky person on your list. Good gifting.
