Choosing a gift for a loved one can be difficult. You want to get something meaningful and that they’re going to appreciate. You don’t want to buy them something that will be put in a cupboard and never used again. Which is where candle gift sets come in.
Candles are always a fantastic gift to receive – not only do they smell great, but they look beautiful and really add to a home’s aesthetic. They are thoughtful and something that no one can ever have enough of. For a special occasion, a birthday or when you just want to go that extra mile with a gift, why not opt for a candle gift set as opposed to just a single candle on its own? This makes for a more impressive and exciting gift and they are sure to love it.
Here we have put together fifteen candle gift sets for you to discover that are designed to suit any occasion at any time of year.

Our tips when choosing candle gift sets
- Candle gift sets come in many designs. Make sure you choose the ones that will look best when displayed around your home.
- Look out for the different burn times of the candles. Although they are approximate numbers, some will last a lot longer than others.
- Think about where your candles will be in your home. You may want your hallway to be smelling different to your living room. If you enjoy candles in the bath, certain scents may be preferred.
- If you are looking at candle gift sets as a present for a loved one, investigate the boxes they come in.
