Moth repellent

The lavender bags that you place around the home may also have the effect of deterring moths and other small insects. It won’t kill them or cure an infestation but may naturally stop them setting up home.

Use lavender bags to fragrance small areas

Lavender bags have a great fragrance but they’re unlikely to have much effect on a large room. However they can be really useful for small places like a cloakroom or your car.

Sleep pillows

Lavender is associated with sleep and relaxation. So why not pop a lavender bag under your pillow for its aromatherapy properties!

Wedding favours

The handy thing about a lavender bag is that the pouch colour can be chosen to match your colour scheme!

They’re natural, plastic free and inexpensive too! Read more about lavender for weddings
