There is something that is warm, welcoming, and also very seasonal about the use of candles during the holiday season. Christmas candles make wonderful gifts, and they are also a great gift for yourself and the family.
Choosing from all the different options in Christmas candles can sometimes feel a bit overwhelming. To help you to find the perfect holiday candles, here are some tips and ideas to find the perfect gift or to add a beautiful seasonal candle to your home.
Seasonal Scents
There are many different scents that are associated with the festive holiday season. Traditional types of scents are often based on fruits and herbal scents of the season, including plum, pomegranate, and even honey scents.
Other scents of the season include fir and other types of wood, including the smell of wood fires or combinations of scents that include fireside scents that allow you to image being snuggled up close to a fireplace in a wood cabin. A unique option is a candle that is designed with layers, creating a different scent experience as the candle burns down.
For most people, these earthy and rich scents are preferred over the very sweet scents that are sometimes associated with baking over the holiday season. While gingerbread, cranberry, and vanilla are lovely scents, they can easily become overwhelming if they are used in a smaller space or left burning.
A Classic Look
Different types of Christmas candles can be found in a wide range of jars and containers. Some of these may be patterned, creating more of a flickering appearance for the candle. If they are in red or green containers, they add a festive look to a mantle, a coffee table, or an end table.
Candle groupings are also a popular look for a larger space. Different heights of containers allow you to mix and match, creating our own look and design that is both festive as well as classic.
