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.
