As we head into the gifting season, candles always come to mind. I burn them all Fall and Winter at home. Your host and those on your gift list most likely do, as well. Notice that the post title uses the word "chic." I have seen some tacky candles "out there." Please don't gift one of those. When selecting a candle for yourself or someone on your list, be mindful of the packaging, the look of the candle itself, the scent, and the burn time. It's all important. Here's inspiration for the most illuminating gifts you can find.
Stoneglow Cinnamon & Orange Natural Wax Candle
This warm and woodsy fragrant candle features a heartwarming combination of zesty orange, spicy cinnamon, nutmeg and clove. tThen it is finished with a woody base of patchouli, vanilla and musk. It is a perfect kitchen candle made in London and offered at a reasonable price.
Lele Sandoughi Candles
Black and white is always chic in the right space. These ceramic votive holders and ceramic candle, make a striking statement. The packaging is gorgeous in black and white, as well. The tall ceramic candle has a 20 hour burn time, and features soft notes of orchid.
Ralph Lauren Rhinelander Candle
Have you ever stepped into the Ralph Lauren Madison Avenue New York City flagship? It is a magical place that smells divine. This candle's aroma is just like the store. It's a blend of Valencia orange, clove, cinnamon bark, and red amber. The container is reusable, making it a gift that lasts long after the candle melts.
The Collection By Phuong Dang Candles
Sophisticated and very cool looking. These candles have the most interesting names, like Black Dessert. They are created by perfumer, Bertrand Duchaufour, and are said to be irresistible. Now on sale at....
Costa Brazil Candles
Lift your spirit or theirs and elevate any mood with the soft scent of the Amazonian Rain Forrest. This botanical candle has an exotic scent like none other. Most of all, I love the mirrored container.
Now that's chic!
Need Supply (on sale ) or Bergdorf Goodman
Uno Candle Set By Ferm Living
I still love a taper candle, especially on the dining table. This set of sixteen have been made from palm wax, which is healthier for your indoor air. The colors are just lovely.
We Took To The Coast Candles
I am totally smitten with these coastal chic candles. They have been hand poured and expertly crafted in South Carolina. The packaging is so very creative, and instantly tells a story. Inside the lovely round boxes are plain ceramic candles. With titles like Coastal Christmas, Pines By The Sea, Nantucket Stroll, Low Tide, We Took To The Coast and We Danced In The Sea, We Took To The Coast Candle - Blue Jeans, White Shirt and more, these candles and their scents are super unique.
Cassis Cuvée
New from this brand and ever so festive! The packaging is as special as the scent. It comes in a crocodile embossed presentation box with Antica's signature matches. The scent is perfect for cocktail parties with notes of cassis liquor, champagne, berries and mandarin. This candle screams holiday host gift.
