Holiday Gift Giving Ideas - Candles

I have candles burning in my office and around my home all the time, so I adore receiving, and giving them at any time of the year.
Here are some lovely gift ideas...

h.wood.beauty has amazing tea infused candles that actually double up as lotion! These beautiful all natural candles have a 70 hour burn time, come in a variety of flavors (I love Pom -Rose)

From Jo Malone this Tea Box Collection is a decadent keepsake, luxurious and innovative it contains three uniquely scented 400g deluxe candles with its own candle lid and silver plated Jo Malone candle trimmer and snuffer.

The candles come in Parma Violets, Eau de Cologne and Sweet Almond Macaroon. $425 JoMalone.com

How fun is this? From Tommy Bahama bring the beach to you with the flickering tropical fragrance of the islands in 7 shots labled Cheers, Fiesta, Happy Hour, Salute, Celebration, Party and Toast.
I also love the Tommy Bahama Pineapple Cilantro candles for a slice of beach time when I'm everywhere but at the beach. TommyBahama.com

Summer by the sea in Greece surrounded by the fragrance of figs warmed by the sun - and time stands still. The new large diptyque Figuier candle has the same effect. Designed to burn for 110 intoxicating hours, indoor and out. Its embossed porcelain-over-earthenware casing created by the famous French porcelain house, Virebent, makes a lasting impression, too.

The notes: Fig wood, freshness of its leaves and the milky sap dyptich.com


Anthropologie Capri Blue candles are a refreshing take on candlelight,formulated to burn for hours with an enduring fragrance. Now in a deep red jar made from recycled glass exclusively for Anthropologie.
  • 100 hour burn time
  • Paraffin-soy wax blend, fragrance

Bath and Bodyworks Kitchen Spice candle smells like the holidays. And that never gets old! A faster burn, these candles only last 25 - 40 hours, but are so inexpensive - who cares?
