For gift giving, place all of the ingredients above in a cellophane bag.
Print a sheet of gift labels and cut out.
Tie label to bag. (You may want to use a hole punch to make this easier!)
Present as a gift to the lucky recipient!
To use the potpourri, the recipient just needs to slice the orange and then add it and the rest of the ingredients from the bag into a pot with 3 cups of water. As it boils on the stove it will release the amazing aroma into the air. Optionally, the potpourri can be placed in a crockpot. With either method, more water can be added as it evaporates which means the scent can keep going for a long time!
