Hello everyone!

Today I have a mini gift guide for you all, focusing around one of my favorite things in the world: candles. There’s nothing better than lighting a candle on a cold winter day and curling up with a good book as you smell the scent wafting to the corners of your room. Candles are great all year-round, but I find I mainly light them in the wintertime. Here are five of my favorites that would make great gifts for the holidays.

• Himalayan Homemade Candles – Primrose Hill: This is a great candle for all seasons, and the presentation of it is beautiful, so you can leave it out on a table for decoration. It smells like a breath of fresh air, but it’s not too strong of a scent.
• Bath and Body Works – Fresh Balsam: This smells exactly like a Christmas tree, so it’s perfect for someone who has a fake tree but still wants the smell of a real one. I absolutely love the fresh smell, and I think it smells super authentic.
• Bath and Body Works – Twisted Peppermint: A classic B&BW favorite, I also love this candle. I love the smell of peppermint, and this one reminds me of when I used to drench myself in the matching body spray and lotion. Ah, those were the days.
• Yankee Candle – All is Bright: My mom introduced me to this candle somehow, and I absolutely love it. I can’t even describe what it smells like; it’s just a mild holiday scent that everyone can enjoy. My mom is very sensitive to smells and gets headaches easily, so that’s why all of these scents are mild.
• Bath and Body Works – Winter Candy Apple: Another holiday favorite from B&BW. I really like all their renditions on apple scents, but this one is the most Christmassy. I think it’s also a fairly mild scent, if that’s what you’re looking for.

If you’re in the market for a new holiday candle, I hope this helped. All of these would make great gifts- you can even put them on your Christmas list!
