It's spring cleaning time at Branch Home, where they are getting rid of the old to make room for the new. As a result, they are currently in the midst of what they call their "biggest ever sale event," with accessories for both you and your home at 15% to 60% off.

Add some interest to bare walls with Wall Balls by Amy Adams (not shown), once $34, now on sale for $27.20. Or put a pop of color in your living room with a Dharti Felt Cushion in Red (left), once $159, now on sale for $95.40.

Patchouli is one of those fragrances you either love or hate. Personally, we love its intoxicating earthy, spicy, musky aroma and, when it is packaged in an old-fashioned powder box — well, let's just say, order your Patchouli Powder Box Candle now before we snap them all up!

Made from clean burning soy wax, the triple wick candle will give you 40 hours of that heady patchouli scent, and the antique looking box will extend your enjoyment for years to come. We think it would make a beautiful trinket box after the last flame dies out. $28 at www.shopterrain.com.

January means one thing for many of us: football! Get your game on and serve up the munchies in this beautiful Recycled Glass Serving Bowl from Casa. Perfect for popcorn, chips, dips and other football fare, these hand blown containers are as pretty as they are practical. Each has a slightly greenish hue and distinctive air bubbles that make it unique and, so you can be sure it gets returned after the party, monogramming is available. $39 at www.potterybarn.com.

When it comes to gift giving, you can’t go wrong with a little “happy” for the home. Not only is it suitable for those occasions that require you to give something that BOTH he and she will enjoy, but it is also something that doesn’t require you to guess at someone’s size — always a plus in our opinion! We think the following eco friendly gifts are perfect for making homes merry and bright all year long.
