27 Best Candle Gifts for Every Candle Lover

This is the candle candle lovers covet. Baies has been Diptyque's bestseller for decades, a fresh blend of blackcurrant leaf and rose that fills a room softly rather than shouting. It is the luxury splurge on this list, and the empty glass gets reused for years.

Our pick for the best balance of luxury and value. The printed glass looks gift-wrapped already, the coconut wax burns clean, and at roughly 100 hours it lasts an entire winter. Baltic Amber is warm and unisex, so it suits almost anyone.

If they have ever lingered in a boutique that smelled amazing, it was probably Volcano. The sugared citrus and tropical fruit scent is bright and cheerful, and the iridescent blue jar is pretty enough to keep on display.

A good choice for someone who finds most candles too sweet. This smells like clean cotton sheets with a hint of pink pepper, and the minimalist pink-lidded glass suits a modern bedroom.

The embossed pink jar and crackling wood wick make this feel like a boutique candle at half the price. Rose over sandalwood is soft and powdery, ideal for a romantic or girlfriend gift.

For the candle lover with darker taste, or a man who says he does not like candles. Tobacco, patchouli and spice in a corked apothecary jar looks great on a bookshelf or desk.

The large Yankee jar is the reliable classic for a reason: up to 150 hours of burn for under $20. Harvest is a gentle fall fruit and spice scent that suits Thanksgiving hosts and cozy-season gifting.

Mahogany Teakwood is one of the most loved scents Bath and Body Works makes, and the three-wick format scents a whole living room fast. An easy win for coworkers, teachers and anyone who already shops there.

Smoked bourbon, oak and vanilla make this smell like a cabin bar on a cold night. It is a great pick for whiskey fans and for anyone who wants their apartment to feel like it has a fireplace.

Homesick makes candles that smell like places, which makes them perfect for someone who moved away or misses where they grew up. This Northern California scent mixes orchard fruit with clove and vanilla; the brand makes a version for nearly every state.

Lavender and eucalyptus is the scent of a spa bathroom. Two candles in one box means one for the bath and one for the bedside, a thoughtful pick for a stressed friend or new parent.

For the friend who decorates the moment September arrives. Four amber jars in pumpkin spice, cinnamon apple, clove and fig vanilla give them a whole season of autumn scents in one box.

When you are unsure what scents they like, 24 mini tins let them find out. Each tin burns 15 to 20 hours, and they are perfect for travel, a desk or splitting into stocking stuffers.

A grown-up advent calendar that gives a candle lover a new scent to light every evening in December. Give it before December 1st so they can start the countdown.

Beeswax tapers burn with a warmer, golden light and a faint honey smell, without synthetic fragrance. A lovely gift for a dinner-party host or someone sensitive to scented candles, especially paired with brass holders.

Unscented pillars are the candle people run out of: for centerpieces, lanterns, power cuts and fragrance-free homes. Six long-burning pillars make a useful add-on to a holder or tray.

A warmer lamp melts the top of a jar candle from above, so they get the fragrance with no flame, no soot and no tunneling. The timer and dimmer make it safe for offices, dorms and homes with pets, and it makes favorite candles last much longer.

The best gift for someone who already owns too many candles. Trimming the wick to a quarter inch before each burn stops black soot on the jar and makes candles burn longer, and the snuffer puts them out without smoke. The matching set looks good left out on a coffee table.

Once a jar candle burns down, matches and short lighters can not reach the wick without burned fingers. This slim, rechargeable arc lighter can, and it never needs refilling. An inexpensive gift that gets used daily.

Long matches in a corked glass jar turn a junk-drawer item into a shelf accessory. Pair them with any candle on this page for a finished-looking gift.

Staggered brass candlesticks are an easy way to make a dining table or mantel look styled. They pair perfectly with the beeswax tapers above for a complete housewarming gift under $40.

For someone who loves to host, these gold candlesticks with glass sleeves protect flames from drafts and look wedding-reception elegant down the middle of a holiday table.

A heavy cast iron plate keeps pillar candle drips off wood furniture and adds a farmhouse touch. Add a couple of unscented pillars for a simple, pretty gift.

For a household with toddlers, cats or a no-flame rental lease, flickering LED pillars give the same glow without the risk. The timer means they turn on every evening automatically, and they are waterproof for porch use.

For the candle lover who wonders whether they could make their own. The electric melter makes it safe and simple, and the kit includes everything for a first batch, so it is a fun weekend project and a source of homemade gifts afterwards.

A candle with a couple's names and wedding date printed on the jar becomes a keepsake rather than a consumable. A sweet engagement, wedding or anniversary gift that is easy to order.

A budget birthday gift for a best friend or sister that comes with two swappable joke labels. The lavender soy candle inside is perfectly nice, and the label is the part they will laugh at.
