Designed by us, especially for you, our Fragrant Memories Kit – Christmas Edition makes the perfect gift for a loved one and a great nostalgic conversation starter in any care setting.
Particularly good for anyone with dementia for use as a reminiscence therapy aid or anyone who is sight impaired for a sensory experience to remember.
Kit includes 3 winter-themed fragrance oils that evoke happy memories of Christmas baking and winter walks. Plus 3 smelling pots – you can also use your own scented items like orange peel, brussels sprouts, and Mulled Wine.
Kit also includes cotton wool to sprinkle the scent onto and all are stored in an attractive Christmas stocking.
Each set has a question prompt card with a set of 6 questions to help get started. Extra ideas are also included – why not add some food/music to add to the atmosphere.
A particular smell can immediately evoke so much and is a great way to bring about therapeutic open chatting amongst a group.
Please note: Fragrances may change according to availability.

- 3 x fragrance bottles
- 3 x smelling pots

- Place a few slices of orange peel in a pot and pass it around. Who can identify it? Talk about who had an orange in their stocking as a child? What was the best present they ever received?
- Use the hessian bag and put items to identify just by feeling in the bag – you can use a spoon, cotton reel, pine cone.
- Sprinkle mixed spice onto a cotton wool puff and pass the pot around. Does it remind anyone of Christmas cake? Ask what ingredients go into a Christmas cake (dried fruit, flour, butter, demarara sugar, glace cherries, mixed spice, almond, sherry/brandy). How would you decorate it?
- Size: Christmas stocking appox (l) 41cm
