With soft lighting and refreshing scents, candles make excellent birthday gifts and thoughtful holiday presents. They can make a home feel cozier and have even been shown to improve focus and productivity. Plus, since candles don't last forever, there's always a need for more.
And that's what makes candles (and their accessories) excellent gifts for candle lovers.
Why Candles & Candle Accessories Make Great Gift Ideas
Many people mistake candles for an easy, impersonal gift—but that's not the case at all. Put a bit of thought into where you source your candles and what scent you choose, and candles can be incredibly personal.
- Candles are great gifts for every season—especially vegan soy candles, poured without the harmful chemicals often found in paraffin wax candles.
- Make your purchase personal by choosing a favorite scent or candle that evokes a shared memory.
- Remember—there's no such thing as too many candles.
20 Must-Have Gifts For Every Candle Lover
Searching for gifts for people who love candles? We've got you covered—here are our top twenty hand-picked gifts for candle lovers.
#1 - Wick Dipper
This popular alternative to a candle snuffer is a must-have for candle lovers. Candles with a cotton wick tend to erupt in a plume of smoke when blown out.
Wick dippers eliminate unwanted smoke by allowing you to extinguish the flame by gently dipping the wick into the melted wax.
#2 - Wick Trimmer
Help candle lovers upgrade their candle care toolkit with a fancy metal wick trimmer.
Trimming your wick ensures a safe burn and helps the wax melt more evenly, making your candle last even longer—and that's exactly what every candle collector wants, right?
