#13: Candle Etiquette: Do’s and Don’ts When Gifting Candles

Candles are universally loved—but choosing one for someone else can feel tricky. Here’s your quick etiquette guide:

  • Do choose a neutral or soft scent for housewarmings (think linen or eucalyptus).

  • Don’t give overly spicy or masculine scents unless you know the recipient’s preferences.

  • Do go for personalization—custom labels, initials, or zodiac scents show thoughtfulness.

  • Don’t forget the presentation. A candle in a linen bag or gift box = elevated.
