Christmas Candle Gift Ideas

Posted by candledelirium on Nov 09 2009 | Candle Gifts, holiday candles

It’s that time of year again: It’s time to shop for holiday gifts and exchange presents with those we love. If the thought of your holiday list makes you want to hyperventilate, relax. You can make things simple with beautiful candles as gifts. Candles are not only affordable and always appropriate, but they can help you in a wide array of gift-giving debacles:

1) Stocking stuffers. Scented candles are a great thing to tuck into Christmas stockings. Everyone appreciates a nice candle in their stocking and the candle will make all your small gifts smell spectacular.

2) Donations. If you want to give this gift season, consider giving more than just those unused cans of food in your pantry. Consider creating gift baskets and including some beautiful candles and donating them to a shelter. Those living in shelters and trying to rebuild their lives often feel their situation very keenly at this time of year. While all donations and gifts are much appreciated, a little pampering gift really reaches out and lets someone know that you care.

3) Last-minute gifts. There is nothing more dreaded than the unexpected or last-minute gift. You may not have someone on your holiday list, but if someone shows up at your door with a present, what will you do? Don’t fret. Wrap a few beautiful candles under the tree and leave off the tags. You’ll have the perfect gift at all times, with no worries and no hassle.

4) Those hard-to-shop for recipients. What do you get the person who has everything? How about a little “me” time? A beautiful scented candle by a quality brand like Altru candles can make everyone feel special. Even for hard to shop for gift recipients, candles are the perfect choice since everyone loves lovely scented candles.

5) Corporate gifts. Corporate gifts are often tricky. You want to make a great impression on coworkers, your boss, clients, and customers, but what gift is thoughtful without being inappropriate, and classy without being impersonal? The answer is obvious: candles. Beautiful candles are a great way to show you care while also remaining professional. You can even invest in candle gift sets for everyone on your corporate holiday list.

6) Gift giving details. Sometimes it’s the little details that make gift giving special. Here’s an idea for the holidays: Before the holidays start, tuck a few unwrapped scented holiday candles among your holiday cards, wrapping paper, and ribbons. By the time it’s time to wrap your gifts and send your cards, your holiday papers will be beautifully scented. You can light one of the unwrapped candles as you wrap gifts and write cards.

7) Gift wrapping. Wrapping odd-shaped gifts can be a nightmare, but you want your gifts to look beautiful. Quality candles are the perfect choice. These candles come in square boxes which are easy to wrap. Plus, many are already packaged so beautifully that you don’t need to add another layer of wrapping paper – a beautiful bow or ribbon may be all you need.

Buying gifts can be extremely challenging. If you don’t know the gift recipient that well, you might be wary of choosing a gift that is too impersonal or too awkwardly familiar. If you are giving a gift to a colleague or employer, you want to make a great impression. Of course, no matter what the occasion, you want to give a gift that someone will love.

There are stores filled with frou frou gifts, but if you want to make an impact and give a gift that will be truly appreciated, candle gifts are your best option. Some manufacturers and retailers create unique and gorgeous gift sets made with luxury scented candles. The exciting thing about these candle gift sets is that they have so many advantages:

  • They are already gorgeously wrapped and ready to go.
  • They are the perfect balance between personal and appropriate – you’ll virtually never offend a gift recipient with gift candle sets.
  • They are a thoughtful gift. Everyone could use a little “me” time in their lives and gift candle sets provide this time. Recipients can light your candles and start enjoying the fragrance and light right away.
  • They are never the wrong size or style. Everyone appreciates luxury candles.
  • They allow your gift recipient to try out several types of candles that he or she may not have tried before.
  • They are perfect for just about every occasion. From birthdays to corporate gift giving, it pays to keep a few candle gift sets on hand.
  • They provide many, many hours of burn time.
  • Some are priced competitively, so that you can give an extravagant gift to yourself or someone else for less than the cost of several individual candles.
  • They often include a special “extra” – such as a decorative reusable box or a set of matches.

It is truly amazing how far candle gift sets have come in recent years. Today’s luxury candle sets are nothing like the cheap baskets of paraffin candles of days gone by. Just consider the Tocca Candle Gift Set. The gorgeous pale blue gift box is filled with four Tocca candles, in scents such as Kyoto, Cleopatra, Havana, and Grace. It’s the perfect way to sample each of the scents that Tocca is known for. Each candle burns for 10 hours and comes with a reusable decorative glass jar. A special Tocca matchbox is included in the gift box, making it perfect for someone who travels and needs everything in one spot.

Candle gift sets are always a thoughtful gift. Accompanied by a well-written card, these gifts really show that you care and allow your recipient to really pamper themselves. Today’s luxury scented candles come in gorgeous gift sets that are appropriate for weddings and corporate giving as well. Whether you are heading to a birthday or an anniversary party, bring a beautiful candle gift set. And, of course, don’t forget to pick up a second candle gift set as a gift to yourself.
