The 8 Best & Most-Loved Holiday Candles

I am a candle fanatic! 🙂 We have candles burning throughout the house all year round, but there’s something special about holiday candles this time of year. I’m not a fan of sweet candles and when it comes to gifting, I usually steer clear of sweet-smelling ones because I think the scent can be overwhelming for some. These 8 I’m sharing today have been my favorite and most-loved holiday candles for years. Not to mention, the designs of each of these candles are either neutral or holiday-inspired, making them an easy match for anyone’s home winter decor. As if you needed another reason, candles are always a safe bet when you’re not quite sure what to gift someone. They’re the perfect stocking stuffer and make great gifts for friends, family, teachers, co-workers, etc.

So this one isn’t pictured and not a candle, but fun fact: I’ve used this and the perfume candle (listed above) for over 10 years now! Probably safe to say that I’ll be using it for years to come.

You can never go wrong with candles when it comes to gift giving. These are my faves and your friends and family will love them too!
