It's Lit: Scented Candles That Make For Easy Holiday Gifts

We spend the holiday season hoping to find the perfect gift for all of our friends and loved ones, but sometimes, we just don’t know what to purchase. Candles are a great gift for pretty much anyone because who doesn’t love a fresh smelling home? If you’re looking to gift one this holiday season, make it good. Our top ten favorite scents cover every price point and every personality.
