Holiday Candle Gifts

There are just some people who love candles; we shall call them candle lovers! They know how to incorporate candles into every room and have strong opinions about having different yet quality candles in their homes. Some candle lovers are dedicated to certain brands of candles, some candle lovers prefer certain scents. Here are the top ten gift ideas for the candle lover in your life.

Partylite Candles - These superior candles are sure to please any candle lover. Not only are the candles wonderful but Partylite also has an extensive line of candle holders and accessories. The choices of candles from Partylite range from tealights to an eight pound three-wick candle. These candles are made from the best wax and all-natural wicks. The scents are diverse and there is a scent for everyone! Go online to find a local consultant (possibly host a show) or buy online through ebay where you can find some good deals. Partylite cannot be found in stores.

Yankee Candles - Walk into a Yankee Candle store and you'll understand why the candle lover on your list will appreciate a gift of Yankee Candles. They have premium-scented candles that are affordable. Yankee Candle is all about the actual candles. They don't have much in the way of accessories. My personal favorite would be their jar candles. Find a scent of interest for your candle lover and give them a jar candle to enjoy. Shop for Yankee Candles either in a store near you or online.

Candle Snuffer - A gift of a special candle snuffer will be cherished by the candle lover on your shopping list. Most people are content to blow out their candles, not candle lovers. They know that blowing out the candles can mess up the wicks and throw them off center. A candle snuffer is the preferred method of extinguishing a candle. There are a variety of candle snuffers available both online and in stores. Consider the "style" of the candle lover you are shopping for and find the one that's perfect for them.

Soy Candles - Soy Candles are a special wax blend made from the soybean pod. The candle lover on your list will appreciate the thought you put into them by researching and finding out that soy candles are the latest things regarding natural candles. Most of them are made from all natural cotton and paper wicks. Most of these candles are cleaner burning and last longer as well. There are a number of websites in which these soy candles can be purchased.

Candle Gift Basket - The candle lover on your list will surely appreciate a gift of a candle gift basket. First find the candles you want to incorporate into your gift basket. Then choose bath products to products to compliment the scents you have already chosen. Find some pretty hand towels. Add some nice soap or bath gel. You could even throw in a favorite classical music CD to build a complete relaxation gift. The skies the limit for your candle lover.

Aromatherapy Set by Illuminations - Illuminations is a premium candle store located both online and in the United States (check their website for a store near you). Their Aromatherapy sets are lavish and offer 100 hours of relaxing, botanical aromatherapy in a variety of scents. Illuminations also offers high quality candles and accessories which will put a smile on your candle lover's face.

Three-wick candle - If the candle lover on your shopping list doesn't have a three-wick candle it's time you gave them this special gift. It's important that you get a quality candle and not just any old one from a department store. Believe me, I know, there is a difference. My husband messed up my Partylite three-wick and felt bad. So he went to Wal*Mart and purchased me a new three-wick. #1 it wasn't the same scent and smelled funny. #2 it didn't burn evenly like my Partylite one. #3 it just wasn't great quality. I know that they aren't cheap but it's worth the money to get a decent three-wick from a reputable company.

Candle making kit - For the candle lover who has just about everything, get them a candle making kit. You have to know your candle lover fairly well to know if they'd be into making their own candles. Candle making is a fun activity for adults to do with children. You can purchase a candle making kit (and supplies) at your local craft store such as Joanne Etc. If you'd prefer there are a number of candle making kits available online.

Decorating Candles book by Terry Taylor (available at online) - This is a must-have for the candle lover. There are a variety of projects to spice up a plain, boring candle or even make your own candle. This is a fun book for any candle lover.

Candle Lighter - For the candle lover who has everything this great, safe candle lighter will surprise them. A candle lighter is a nice alternative to using matches to light candles. Check out these lighters online, consult resources below for web address. Another choice is the Bic Luminere which can be found at amazon.com. It is a candle lighter with three positions for the hard to reach wicks.
