IYKYK, but just in case you don't, candles are way more than a pretty, fragrant flicker you light every so often. For some — hi, hello, right over here [1] — candles are a lifestyle and one of the most sensory hobbies a person can have. So if you have a family member or friend who has a seriously impressive candle collection or follows scent influencers (yes, they exist) like it's their job, you might want to consider getting them a fire gift this year. (Pun intended. Sorry, had to.)
