Editorial Reviews

The sense of smell is strongly linked to memory; the whiff of a familiar but forgotten fragrance can unleash a flood of recollections. Yet fragrance is often overlooked in gift giving, except for the obvious gift of perfume. To celebrate the importance of olfactory delights, Scented Gifts offers more than 70 lovely projects to craft for family and friends. From the garden come potpourri, pomanders, and various dried arrangements, plus advice on planting a fragrant garden and a guide to common fragrant plants and spices. The kitchen yields herbal oils and vinegars, jellies, teas, cakes, and cookies. Those who enjoy sewing can try the scented cushions, sachets, spice-filled hot pad, or stress-relieving eye pillow. Pamper someone with fragrant gifts for the bath: oils, salts, soaps, and powders. Or try a scented journal or picture frame. Each project is fully explained and shown in color, and there are nice ideas for pretty presentations to make your handmade creations look even more special. --Amy Handy
