For those who want to know what a unicorn smells like, this hand-poured soy candle in a sweet vanilla scent offers a hint. (And though we know what scent kittens have, this interpretation is undoubtedly better for home fragrance.) $20 each. Boomerang BTQ, 845 Massachusetts Ave., 317-966-7373

Even if your pooch has been an angel all year, he or she will scarf down these nuggets of “coal,” made from peanut butter, oats, brown rice flour, and carob powder. $10. City Dogs Grocery, 884 Massachusetts Ave., 317-635-2287

It’s the holidays, and we could all use some extra pampering. The Clementine Coconut Soak and face and body mists (Orange Blossom has essential oils for boosting radiance, and Lavender Rose offers a host of skin-nourishing benefits) by Madison-based 407 Botanicals should do the trick. $22 for the bath soak; $14 each for the mists.
