A better candle to give this holiday season

Fun fact about me: I’m always happy to receive a fancy candle as a gift—but I don’t like giving them. I usually put a good amount of thought in my gifting as I truly enjoy the challenge of finding the perfect present for a specific recipient. (And most of the time, I get it right—or at least I think I do.)

I wouldn’t be writing this if there wasn’t a “but,” and in this case the exception is Siblings—however you have to do a little more than unbox and light it. These sustainable candle kits come with scented wax and a wick that you can use in any vessel to actually make your own candle, and it sounds like a lot of fun to me. Although I save old candle jars to store everything from pens on my desk to makeup brushes on my vanity, in this case the options are virtually endless. 

Available in Bergamot-White Rose-Oakmoss, Coconut Milk-Fresh Fig-Sandalwood, Clove-Lavender-Cedarwood, Honeysuckle-Peony-Amber and Orange-Grapefruit-Lemon—and with a price tag of $22—these kits help you pick a great gift that also gives its recipient an activity to do. Love it!
