Wouldn’t it be perfect to take simple 3x4 organza bags, fill them with lavender, put Christmas tags on them, and then give personalized lavender sachets away as Christmas gifts to all your friends and family.

Just think about it.

Lavender is one of those fragrances that is so distinctive. And it smells just as good now in our modern world as it has down through the ages; an old familiar smell that never loses its enchantment.

When you pull open a dresser drawer where lavender sachets have been hidden, or when you open the door to your closet where lavender sachets cling to hangers, or when you pull a sheet from the linens where lavender sachets lie buried, you experience a wonderful sensation that has been enjoyed for thousands of years before.

Yet every time the sweet lavender aroma of the lavender sachet caresses your senses, it’s as if it’s happening for the first time all over again. It never grows old.

This is the wonder of the lavender sachet.

So you take this age old aroma that is just as new now as it was in the days of old, put it into a colorful little pouch, and then honor your friends and loved ones with personalized lavender sachets for Christmas gifts that they will cherish.

The lavender sachet is not only an amazingly fragrant Christmas gift, but also a beautiful Christmas gift as well.

This is because the lavender buds, by themselves in a transparent bag, pose a striking color.

With this in mind, fill an ordinary ivory colored organza bag with the distinctive lavender hue of the lavender buds, and see how the two shades of color complement each other so well.

Then observe the harmony of the distinctive lavender blue as seen through a burgundy organza fabric. Or notice how well it goes with a moss green organza fabric. It really doesn’t matter, since no matter what color you choose, be it gold, pink, white or purple, the lavender blue will set it off perfectly as a lavender sachet.

But here is the beauty in all this. With the richness of the lavender fragrance, and the uniqueness of its color as seen through the simple organza, this is actually an affordable Christmas gift. And in our present economy, this is truly a beautiful thing.

To purchase some lavender in bulk, and then find some 3x4 organza bags in your favorite colors will not leave you broke and penniless. It would almost appear that in this busy world that we find ourselves in, the most expensive part of this venture would be our time. But that of course, is a matter of perspective.

The only part of this picture remaining to be filled in now is the matter of the Christmas tag. Because let’s face it, two years from now when they find this lavender sachet tucked away in a special place, you will want them to be reminded of your love for them.

So whether the Christmas tag has a Christmas tree, holly, candy cane or some other Christmas decoration inscribed upon it, the important part of the tag will be the part that comes right after the “from.” For that my friend will be you. After all, no matter how special a lavender sachet might be, it is your love that makes it truly a special Christmas gift.

Merry Christmas.
