Whether you’re buying a gift for a close friend, work colleague or distant cousin, candles are a great choice no matter what the relationship. Here are some of the best reasons why candles should be your go-to present.
Candles are known for easing and soothing the mind, helping you to relax after a hard day. The flicker of a candle creates a calming, warm ambience in any room. They effortlessly add style and elegance to your home whilst creating a serene and tranquil atmosphere. Scented candles can be a great choice as they eliminate any unwanted odours and leave your home smelling fresh. The essential oils in scented candles also have therapeutic benefits; they can lift your spirits, boost your energy and sharpen your mind.
You don’t have to spend hours searching every shop and online retailer to find a candle. No matter what month or season it is, you can quickly locate a candle in most supermarkets or retail stores like The Range!

Whether it’s someone’s birthday, an anniversary, Christmas or a wedding, candles can be the perfect gift for every special occasion. If you want to buy someone a larger quantity of gifts, combine a candle with bath bombs, face mask or a body scrub for a lovely spa themed present. If it’s a housewarming celebration, you can combine it with a photo frame, house plant or a coffee table book for a home décor based present.
Candles can vary drastically in price, making them affordable to all. If you’re on a tight budget, you can easily find a candle that looks and smells lovely and doesn’t cost a fortune. If you want to spend more money, purchase a higher-end candle or pair your gift with a candle holder or steel lantern.
Candles are available in all shapes and sizes, and unlike some other gifts, they aren’t gendered. For those that enjoy sweet aromas, you can buy a lovely smelling white chocolate scented candle, and for those that prefer an earthier scent, you can purchase an amber wood candle. If your gift recipient isn’t a fan of overwhelming smells, you can buy unscented candles or even flameless candles to provide a relaxing atmosphere.
Candles make beautiful gifts for any occasion, perfect for when you just can't figure out what to buy someone. They create a peaceful environment, add style and are sure to be appreciated. Read more about the benefits of candles in our Make Your Bedroom a Total Sanctuary article.
