So for this holiday season, I am asking for people to do due diligence on gifts, and try to find out whether they will off-gas any toxic chemicals. MSDSs don’t paint the whole picture, and neither do sniff tests. Any research is better than nothing, for the sake of the people receiving your gifts.

Also, please reconsider buying fragrance this holiday season. Navigating through multiple trails of fragrance chemicals is exhausting, and the symptoms resulting from fragrance exposure can take days to resolve. People with invisible illness often just want to live and shop like anyone else.
