How this guide is chosen

How to choose a candle as a gift

Choose a scent that is welcoming to most people: pine, cedar and cinnamon for the season, or fresh scents like eucalyptus and lavender for after the holidays. Larger multi-wick candles burn longer, while small ones are ideal stocking stuffers.

Candles are an easy gift for teachers, hosts, neighbors and coworkers. Burn them within sight and trim the wick before each use for the best result.
