✨ Stovetop Christmas Potpourri ✨
If you want your whole house to smell like Christmas morning, this little setup is pure magic. 🍊🌿

I filled this clear pot with fresh cranberries, rosemary, cinnamon sticks, and an orange — the simplest ingredients that create the warmest, coziest holiday scent. Just add water and let it simmer low and slow. Your home will smell like you’ve been baking all day! 🎄❤️

Tie it with a ribbon and it also makes the sweetest neighbor or hostess gift. Sometimes the prettiest things are the simplest. ✨

Practical, funny, and super fast to put together… sometimes the easiest gifts really are the best. 🎁✨

Christmas present tags
I purchased the wreath and the watercolored gingham graphic from Etsy. I had them printed and they turned out great.
I love the preppy grandmilliennial style.
