Pomander 
This is a very simple way to get some Christmas aroma into your home. All you need to decorate an orange as seen on the left is: one orange, whole cloves and a tea light. What you need for the tree: oranges, cloves, toothpick to poke a whole, and patience. Oranges such as the one shown fill any room with a festive winter aroma ant they look very beautiful. Pomanders have been used since medieval times.
Place a plate filled with aromatic spices on your heater. On the above plate are cinnamon, coriander, juniper berries, cloves, star anis, and bay leaves.
