A Fragrant and Charitable Wreath

This is the season to bring beautiful fragrance into your home so that the inside warmth will permeate with pleasing scents and Lindsay Olives is offering compassion-minded shoppers two sizes of its gorgeous handmade wreaths of olive, bay and eucalyptus branches to hang as a sweet-smelling front door welcome or enjoy as natural, lovely centerpieces.

All proceeds—that’s correct—all proceeds from the wreath sales go to The Meals On Wheels Association of America (MOWAA), the oldest and largest national organization in the United States, representing programs that provide meals to people in need.

Lindsay Olives is offering gift-ready wreaths in two sizes, each a fragrant restyling of the traditional olive branch wreath. Holiday shoppers can give a charming 14-inch round wreath, or an impressive 18-inch round wreath. The wreaths are hand-woven from freshly harvested olive branches, universally recognized as a symbol of peace, along with branches from bay and eucalyptus trees.

The branches are harvested from California groves and, over time, dry to a beautiful silvery green. Fragrant bay and eucalyptus branches add that special holiday aroma. Each wreath is packaged gift-ready in holiday red tissue paper with a personalized gift card.

The Lindsay Olive Holiday Wreath is available exclusively at www.lindsayolives.com or by calling (800) 765-2029. The 14-inch wreath is $30 and the 18-inch wreath is $35 plus shipping, with delivery until December 31, 2009.

The olive tree is one of the oldest trees on Earth. Archives of ancient civilizations dating back thousands of years refer to the olive branch as a symbol of peace and goodwill.
