Without a doubt candles make great gifts for almost any occasion – with the exception of gifts for small children of course! However, most people love candles and like them much more when they receive a candle gift from that special person. While a pack of plain white tealights may not be the most appealing gift, if you put a little thought into your gift, there are lots of candles out there that that will make fantastic gifts.
Flower Candles
Why not break away from the tradition of buying a bunch of flowers for that special lady and give her a candle in the shape of a flower. These make a fantastic candle gift for almost any special occasion. Available in a multitude of different flowers, colours and fragrances these make a great gift for any flower lover .
Floating Candles
Floating candles as a gift might send romantic undertones, so be careful if that’s not the intention when giving these candles as a gift. Floating candles are great for a lot of reasons - soaking in a hot tub, or as a table decoration for a romantic dinner for example - but they might not be the best candle gift for a friend or relative. That said, if you want to give someone a subtle message, these might be a great semi-romantic gift to give them.
Glass Jar Candles
Sometimes expensive, but even after the candle is gone, the person will still have the jar which can be used in a variety of ways, even refilling with wax to make a new candle. There's a varied selection of candles in a glass jar, meaning there's likely a jar candle for anyone on your gift list. Available in a multitude of designs, colours, and fragrances you can be sure you won’t go wrong with this candle gift.
Pillar Candles
These can be expensive depending on the size of candle, but they're solid and send a message of solidarity. For the most part, however, if you want to give a friend or work acquaintance a candle, a pillar candle will probably be the best bet. Size matters, obviously!
Flameless Candles
Obviously you will never beat a real candle flame, but for the older generation on your list, someone living in an enclosed space, or generally where safety can’t be compromised - a flameless candle might be the perfect gift to give. They give a similar ambiance and sometimes come with a candle fragrance but without the added risk of starting a fire. They're not for everyone, but for the purpose of candle safety some people will find these a fantastic gift.
These are but a few suggestions for candle gifts and there are plenty more fantastic candles out there that will make a great gift for that special person.
