We were contemplating creating a new shopping guide to non-toxic candles for 2020, but, the truth is, our picks for Holiday 2019 below were so good that, after closer review, we ended up shopping them ourselves and thought you might need some new scents at home right now too, so, here you go…

Our favorite foolproof gift – to get or give – is simple and never fails: a gorgeous, fragrant candle. Nothing uplifts our mood faster than lighting one up and letting its scent waft through the room. Nothing ruins that moment faster than the slight headache that may follow if that cute little candle is full of fake ingredients.

Whether you’re scrambling for the perfect hostess gift or looking for something your bestie who has everything will be delighted by, you can’t go wrong with a candle.
