My mom lives and dies by scent. If it’s not candles burning in the kitchen, it’s reed diffusers in each room and car fresheners for every season. I’m not sure why it’s such a huge obsession, but I do know it seems to be a shared phenomena for most women of a certain age. I mean, sure, I like nice-smelling things too, but I’ve never considered going to the candle store to be a religious experience.

So what to buy the woman that birthed the babe you now refer to as the “love of your life?” Keep it simple and “scentsational.” Yankee Candle’s holiday line of Signature Reed Diffusers are a thoughtful addition to any home. This season, there’s four new signature scents including Balsam and Cedar, Christmas Cookie, Mistletoe, and Sparkling Snow. Priced at just $19.99, these diffusers are an easy, go-to gift that everyone will appreciate…even a certain mom you’re nervous about meeting for the first time.
