Gift-Giving Tips for Candles
- Consider their home style — minimalist homes love clean, neutral scents; eclectic homes can handle bolder fragrances
- Think about their season — gifting in fall? Go warm and spiced. Summer? Bright and citrusy.
- When in doubt, go neutral — vanilla, sandalwood, and linen scents are crowd-pleasers for almost anyone
- Add a personal touch — a handwritten note alongside a candle makes it feel intentional and memorable
