A combination air freshener and ornament has an ornament body and a support stand that serves dual purpose as a hanging hook when the ornament is in a hanging configuration and as a support stand when the ornament is in a standing display configuration. The support stand optionally has plugs at each end that removably engage with a receiving hole in the ornament body. The ornament body and/or the support stand are formed of fragranced polymer. One embodiment forms the ornament body in a gingerbread man configuration and the support stand in a candy cane configuration.

1. An air freshener, comprising: a body defining at least one receiving hole, said body formed of a fragranced polymer;a hook having a curved portion and a straight portion, with the curved portion terminating at a proximal end and the straight portion terminating at a distal end, wherein the proximal end of the hook terminates at a first plug and the distal end of the hook terminates at a second plug;wherein said proximal end is adapted to removably engage the receiving hole to position said body in a standing display configuration with the body supported on a substantially flat support surface with the distal end of the hook in contact with the support surface in the standing display configuration; andwherein said distal end is adapted to removably engage the receiving hole to position said body in a hanging display configuration when the hook is engaged onto or around a support structure from which the air freshener is suspended in the hanging display configuration. 2. The air freshener of claim 1, further comprising a skeletal structure, and wherein the fragranced polymer forming the body is molded onto or over at least portions of the skeletal structure. 3. The air freshener of claim 2, wherein the body is over-molded over the skeletal structure. 4. The air freshener of claim 2, wherein the skeletal structure defines raised portions, and said raised portions remain exposed after the fragranced polymer of the body is molded onto or over the skeletal structure. 5. The air freshener of claim 4, wherein said raised portions correspond to one or more decorations. 6. The air freshener of claim 1, wherein the fragranced polymer is formed of a polymer selected from the group consisting of: polyvinylchloride, polyethylene, low density polyethylene (LDPE), high density polyethylene (HDPE), thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), polypropylene, ethylene vinyl acetate, ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, acetate, butyrate, propionate, silicone, copolymers thereof, and mixtures thereof. 7. The air freshener of claim 6, wherein the polymer is compounded, blended or mixed with one or more fragrances to form the fragranced polymer. 8. The air freshener of claim 2, wherein the skeletal structure is formed of a polymer selected from the group consisting of: polypropylene, polyethylene, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, nylon, silicone, and copolymers thereof. 9. The air freshener of claim 1, wherein the ornament body is formed into a shape selected from the group consisting of: gingerbread man, gingerbread woman, baby gingerbread man, gingerbread house, gingerbread cookie, Christmas cookie, Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus, reindeer, Christmas tree, snowman, snow woman, poinsettia, snowflake, and star. 10. An air freshener, comprising: a body comprising a skeletal structure defining raised portions onto or over which is molded a fragranced polymer, wherein said raised portions remain exposed after the fragranced polymer of the body is molded onto or over the skeletal structure, said body defining at least one receiving hole;a support stand with a proximal end and a distal end;wherein said proximal end is adapted to removably engage the receiving hole to position said body in a standing display configuration with the body supported on a substantially flat support surface with the distal end of the support stand in contact with the support surface in the standing display configuration, and with at least a portion of said raised portions of the body corresponding to one or more feet or surface-contacting supports for supporting the air freshener on the substantially flat support surface when in the standing display configuration; andwherein said distal end is adapted to removably engage the receiving hole to position said body in a hanging display configuration when the support stand is engaged onto or around a support structure from which the air freshener is suspended in the hanging display configuration. 11. The air freshener of claim 10, wherein the body is over molded over the skeletal structure. 12. The air freshener of claim 10, wherein at least a portion of said raised portions correspond to one or more decorations. 13. The air freshener of claim 10, wherein the fragranced polymer is formed of a polymer selected from the group consisting of: polyvinylchloride, polyethylene, low density polyethylene (LDPE), high density polyethylene (HDPE), thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), polypropylene, ethylene vinyl acetate, ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, acetate, butyrate, propionate, silicone, copolymers thereof, and mixtures thereof. 14. The air freshener of claim 13, wherein the polymer is compounded, blended or mixed with one or more fragrances to form the fragranced polymer. 15. The air freshener of claim 10, wherein the skeletal structure is formed of a polymer selected from the group consisting of polypropylene, polyethylene, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, nylon, silicone, and copolymers thereof.
