It’s the beginning of a new year! If you are looking for candles to add fragrance to your home and enhance your décor, we have some great recommendations.

Don’t underestimate the power of a good candle to transform your space into a cozy oasis or transport you to a place you wish you were or remind you of happy memories. No matter how busy life feels, lighting a candle is one of the simplest ways to create a calming and meditative atmosphere right at home. It doesn’t matter what time of day — morning, noon or night.

There are plenty of candle options on the market making it easy to find the one that’s exactly what you’re looking for. Here are a few of the favorites this year:

WoodWick

Forever a classic, WoodWick Candles offer the optimal cozy factor with their crackling wooden wicks. Beautifully crafted and available in a wide range of sizes, colors, fragrances and designs, WoodWick Candles are attractive to look at as well as appealingly scented. Many of the fragrances are chosen with a particular season or occasion in mind, so you are sure to find the right fragrance no matter the time of year.

Swan Creek

Talk about scent-sational! Enticing not only to your olfactory and visual senses, but also to your sense of value are these well-priced offerings. Swan Creek melts are so easy to use with six separate break-apart cubes - just place them in a melter and enjoy. Or choose one of their beautiful glass jar candles filled with 12 oz. of American Soybean Wax for décor and ambiance in one!

Thymes Frasier Fir

Transport yourself to the Christmas tree farm with this magnificent aroma from Thymes. Mountain fresh and glowing, this perfectly sized gold travel tin candle allows you to bring the crisp scent of Siberian Fir needles, heartening cedarwood and relaxing sandalwood with you anywhere you go to fill smaller spaces. It is the Thymes signature scent and also available in wax melts, lotions and more!

Spiral Light Candles

This candle is truly clean. A unique and excellent candle in a variety of incredible scents, Spiral Light Candles use an ultra-refined, food grade wax, 100% cotton wicks on the outside and locally sourced softwood wicks on the inside. All of their scents are 100% Phthalate free and their dyes are all vegetable based. All this work leads to a very clean burning candle free of toxins and the smoke that you want to keep outside your home. The other unique feature of Spiral Light Candles is how they burn. The wick spirals around the outside as it burns so there’s no wasted wax.

Whatever it is you’re looking for, whether as a gift or self-care, there is a candle or melt for you! For more information about the best candles and wax melts of 2023, visit a trusted name in candles, The Woods Gifts.
