Starting Thursday, the food production and distribution company is giving away sheets of scented wrapping paper that smell like bananas and pineapples, Del Monte said in a news release.

The green holiday-themed wrapping papers come in two scents, banana and pineapple, and each features the corresponding fruit against a backdrop of falling snowflakes.
