Happy Holidays

This is the season gathered into one place, which makes it the largest collection on the site — and worth a minute of orientation. Broadly it breaks into four groups: Christmas designs (trees, snowmen, ornaments, sculpted winter figures); musical candles that play while they burn; Hanukkah and Thanksgiving pieces for the rest of the calendar; and gift-ready personalized candles you can put a photo or a family name on.

If you are shopping for a host or a coworker, the smaller sculpted and ceramic designs travel well. If you are decorating your own home, the larger statement pieces and bottle-poured candles hold a table better. And since holiday candles burn far more hours than everyday ones, it is worth reading what is actually in a candle and keeping the wax removal guide bookmarked before the season starts.
