Almost everyone loves candles for their fabulous scents, but some may not love gifting them because they feel they are too generic a gift. This is definitely not the case! The right candle can be highly personal and commemorate an occasion or spark a memory. I myself have purchased or received each of these candles so I can definitely say they are the best candles for gifts!

Candle Care Tips
To keep your candles burning properly, follow these tips:
- Before lighting for the first time, trim the wick to ¼ inch
- To avoid a tunnel, make sure the candle burns until the wax melts to the edges each time you light it
- Keep the flame away from moving air such as fans and windows to keep the glass free of marks
- Store your candles in a cool, dark place with the lid on to help protect the wax and fragrance
