My newest candle obsession will be yours, too

I have candles everywhere in my house, and the first thing I do when I sit down at my desk and fire up my computer in the morning is light one. I have no problem scooping up cheapies at HomeGoods if they smell good and look nice, but let’s be honest… Nothing beats a fancy candle (on many levels). About a month ago I received an email from the creator of the Gold Hill Candle Co., and was happy to oblige when she offered to send a few along for me to try.

Hand-poured in Napa Valley (with 100% natural soy wax), I don’t think I’ve ever experienced better-smelling candles. I’m burning the Sicilian Orange right now (which is no longer available since Gold Hill is all about small batches and they constantly rotate their offerings) and the scent literally filled my office within three minutes of lighting it. The minimalist packaging fits seamlessly into any décor—but these aren’t even the best parts.

Unlike other candles with skinny, wimpy wicks, these feature a wide wick make of real wood. This is a big deal because it crackles as the candle burns—it’s like having a little fireplace on my desk! (Or next to my bed, or while I’m chilling on the couch.)

But there’s more… If you’re a candle devotee and you finish them on the regular, Gold Hill has a subscription program! For just $35 a month, you get TWO of these beauties sent directly to your door, so you’ll never be without one of these luxe luminaries. I’m going to subscribe so I have them for myself—and always have an extra on hand in case I need a last-minute gift. To add to the excitement, the monthly scents are a surprise. Since I also loved the Jasmine & Gardenia, I’m 100% confident I’ll love any fragrance that comes my way—and you will, too.
