Best Candles for Gifts

There are so many reasons why candles make great gifts. They allow you to showcase your thoughtfulness – pair your loved one’s personality with a scent you know she’ll love. They instantly elevate the ambiance of a room – whether it’s a fresh avocado and mint-scented candle burning in the kitchen, or a lush gardenia-scented candle burning in the bedroom, a candle evokes feelings of relaxation, refreshment, and happiness. A seasonal candle can help bring nature indoors: A pumpkin-scented candle epitomizes the crisp colors and flavors of autumn, while a balsam or cedar-scented candle makes a holiday home feel wonderfully festive. Finally, a candle’s vessel and packaging make it a covetable decorative accent – our mercury glass candles emit a gorgeous, dappled glow, while our holiday tins and jars are a joyful, celebratory touch. Also, check out our advent calendars - many feature candles too.

How to Pick a Candle for Someone

Anthropologie’s home fragrance collection goes far beyond your go-to Volcano-scented jar. In addition to our mercury and pop-colored glass jars, boxed Voluspa gift candles, and signature soy candle tins, you’ll find diffusers and fragrance mists to add aroma to any space. We also recommend considering decorative candles and candle holders – add a candelabra and taper candles to your next celebratory tablescape, or dot your mantel with beautiful hurricanes, votives, and other candle holders, rendered in burnished metals, sleek marbles, and rustic woods. When choosing a scent for someone, think about their interests and what may evoke pleasant memories for them. Is your friend a fan of the beach? A tropical scent may be the way to go. Is your grandma a lover of all things floral? A lavender or rose scented candle would be perfect for her.
