Candles
I love giving candles as gifts. They can fill a home with a sweet smell and a warm feeling for months.

And it’s easy to personalize candle gifts by using your loved ones favorite scent and by putting it in a unique holder like a mason jar, cute coffee mug, etc. Check out this guide to making your own candles from a sweet friend of mine who sells her own amazing candle creations.
