I hope you enjoyed Christmas!! So I have GOT to ask, “What did Santa bring you????” What was your favorite “home” gift that Santa left under the tree or in your stocking?
My favorite home gift from Santa is this fabulous Bamboo-scented candle from Nest Fragrances! Santa got it from beautyexclusive.com and it came beautifully wrapped in apple green tissue paper.
Nest Fragrances is the new line of candles from Laura Slatkin {of Slatkin & Co. fame}. I had come across Laura’s “Bamboo & Jasmine” candle from her Slatkin & Co. in Charleston this past fall. The scent was amazing so I hunted it down online and discovered it was no longer available. {She had sold the line to Bath & Bodyworks who apparently ended up changing it – so I read.}
Thankfully, she has created this line of home fragrance candles and “Bamboo” smells just as I remember the one in Charleston.
While she says the scent is “flowering bamboo mingled with a variety of white florals, sparkling citrus, and fresh green accords,” the scent to me is really more jasmine. If I close my eyes and take in the scent, it reminds me of the wonderful confederate jasmine that grows in my beloved southeast.
So, that’s my favorite home gift from Santa. What’s yours??????
