Light the Way

POJ (Pieces of Japan) Studio’s Leaf Incense ($36) will instantly transport Mom to Japan, no plane travel required. All it takes is the light of a match. Made of traditional washi paper, the long-lasting incense comes in five evocative scents: Kinmokusei (sweet and rich osmanthus), Hinoki (woodsy and soothing cypress), Sugi (cedar reminiscent of Japanese forests), Koke (spa-like moss), and Yuzu (refreshing citrus). Bonus: the pretty packs serve double-duty as potpourri (pre-burning, obviously).
