Best Candle Gifts 2022

The 9 Best-Smelling Candle Gifts To Spice Up Someone’s Day — and Home

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

Maybe you have no idea what to give one of your friends, or maybe you have one friend who spends way too much time in the candle aisle of their local B&M. Whatever the case, candles bring with them warmth, light, and some pretty sweet smells — making them the present you can never go wrong with (and we're not just saying that because we're partial to lighting them up any time we need to de-stress and unwind).

Below are our picks for the best-smelling candles we can't stop sniffing.
