To start off, set the holiday mood in your house with scented candles. Here’s a fun fact about them: candles were used as early as 200BC. It was traditionally made of wick wrapped with animal fat. Due to its nature, the ingredient gave out an unpleasant smell, which led to the creation of scented candles! When the lightbulb was invented, candles were out of use from its original purpose and instead were utilised as decorative items and gifts as well as mood boosters.
