Of course moms really only want trips to faraway destinations, so make your gift count by giving her the goodness of an Indian vacay wrapped into a warm, sultry blend of coconut and vanilla. One whiff and we promise she’ll forget she’s in her living room.
Walk into any Anthropologie store and you’ll be tempted to buy all of their candles. Our favorite (this month) is Mimira, which is a lighter scent that mixes sage with lemon. It’s also inspired by watercolor paintings, so it’s perfect for the artistic modern day mom.
If mom loves warm summer evenings, then this candle loaded with notes of mimosa and soft sandalwood is made for her. The pretty gold and white color doubles as a home decor upgrade, which also means it might be too pretty to burn.
Can’t get mom to a spa? Bring the spa to her with this floral and basil scented candle that will transform her home into a luxurious haven.
The Baies candle isn’t new, in fact it’s one of Diptyque’s best sellers. But, there’s a new size (21.2oz.) that’s sure to fill your room with over 100 hours of sexy smells of rose and blackcurrant leaves. Just be sure to tell mom to keep the black ceramic vessel to store her goodies when the candle is complete.
If she loves grapefruit and cardamom, with a hint of rose and geranium this candle has her name all over it. But more than that, it’s created with an earth-friendly blend of beeswax, vegetable and soy waxes to help mom tap into her environmentally conscious spirit.
Surprise! The skincare and makeup store inspired by ancient traditions of Asian cultures also makes candles. Light up XL lotus and you’ll understand why it one of the most fragrant candles we’ve ever tried. This one is so good you’ll want to keep for yourself.
Make mom’s transition from spring to summer super easy with this lead-free three wick candle that mixes the warm notes of Indonesian jasmine with white tea and amber. It also contains the highest quality wax available (it’s the same grade of wax materials used in pharmaceuticals) so it’s sure to have a smooth burn.
Not many pint size candles have big impact, but this Paddywax candle might be the first of its kind. The rose-scented candle literally fits into your palm (which means it’s easy to Instagram) and won’t clutter mom’s mantle that’s already filled with her faves.
We love every one of CLEAN’s candles because they are hand-poured soy blends, so you’ll get up to 60 hours with each candle. And the scent is inspired by fluffy warm towels just taken out of the dryer. What could be better than that?
