Peppermint. The most economical resource during the holidays and/or a global pandemic. You could indulge in the minty goodness of your second peppermint mocha of the day before your Black Christmas watch party marathon! Need a last-minute stocking stuffer idea? Here's a Bath and Body Works (not sponsored by Bath and Body Works) Twisted Peppermint lotion and hand sanitizer combo! Your neighbors suddenly forgetting to social distance and now they're trying to eat your brains? That candy cane lawn ornament could really come in handy for some brain-bashing; suck a candy cane into a shiv for close proximity.
My personal favorite use? Peppermint bark, of course!
