Best Summer Candles From Target 2021

Set Your OOO, Because Target's Summer Candles Will Send You Straight on Holiday

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.

Sit back, close your eyes, and imagine you're in a tropical paradise. What does that smell like to you? Blooming bergamot and bougainvillea? Driftwood and salt air? Fresh coconut, pineapple, or perhaps a pitcher of watermelon margaritas?

If you said any — or all — of those things, you're in luck, and it won't even take a plane ticket to actually get there. Target has a bunch of summery candles that can transport you on the trip of your dreams, and they start at just $3. Check out our favourites below, and see which one will be sending you straight on your next holiday, in as little as two days' (shipping) time.
