If you consider yourself a “bad gift giver,” then I’ll let you in on a little secret: if you don’t know what to give someone, give them a scented candle. Candles are a gift that’s almost universally accepted. They’re an easy option if you don’t know the recipient of your gift that well, and you can make them even nicer for your loved ones by choosing their favorite scents or using a personalized label. They serve as decoration for your home, and in the case of glass jar candles, the containers can still be used even when the wax runs out.
The candle market is quite saturated, there are so many luxury and affordable brands to choose from, not to mention fragrances. But if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the sheer amount of choices, looking at some of the best sellers is always a good place to start. I’ve done some of the hard work for you and rounded up candles from across the internet that make great gifts, in both luxury and budget options.
Whether the recipient of your gift is in the mood for something floral, fruity or earthy, you’re sure to find a candle below that will make them smile.
