Choosing a gift for someone can be daunting. Yet, despite this, almost 68% of Americans are more eager to give gifts than they are to receive them. There's a joy in gift-giving, and the act of carefully curating and picking something for a loved one is incredibly rewarding.

You get to personalize something, and show the other person what you think of them and how you feel about them. What's better than that?

But in that, there's the stress of choice, and hoping that you've chosen the right gift. That's where candle sets come in handy. Not only are they a great way to show someone you care, but you can pick out scents and decorations that suit what the person needs in their life.

Keep reading to find out why exactly a candle gift set should be on your "to-gift" list for friends and family.

Why Candles Make a Great Gift

There are endless benefits to gifting candles to a loved one. They can soothe the mind, help you relax after a long day, and the gentle flicker of a candle creates a beautiful and calming ambiance in any space. What better way to add a touch of effortless style and grace to your home than with a candle? 

And of course, if we're talking about why candles are so great, we have to mention the scents. Sure, there are plenty of unscented options around, but a candle scent can inspire and invoke memories and feelings and make someone feel like they're being wrapped in a warm hug.

Also, did you know you can use candles to manifest your desires? They're the perfect focus point for meditation, and a great way to bring tranquility into your home. Among these benefits, candles are also: 

• Easy to find
• Perfect for any occasion
• Exceptionally varied
• Perfect for anyone
• Affordable

Plus, you can pretty much get them anywhere, and they're easy to buy online. Want to learn how?

Choosing a Candle Online

Beyond just the scent, there are a lot of things to consider when buying a candle, whether it's online or not. For now, however, we're going to focus on the online stuff. When you're perusing your options, you're going to want to pay attention to a few things, namely:

• The wax type
• The scent descriptions
• Its scent throw
• The burn time
• The price
• The design

The Differences in Wax

Relative to candle wax, vegetable oil, palm oil, mineral oil (or paraffin), beeswax, coconut oil, and soy are the most common materials used today. And, according to the National Candle Association, no one wax is completely better or worse than the other in terms of burn quality. 

That's not to say that you shouldn't pay close attention to the candle's ingredients. Soy wax particularly is a trendy and sustainable material, since it comes from a renewable natural resource. In other words, soy beans. Soy candles are also probably one of the best options you can choose for your home and health. 

Soy wax candles are: 

• Non-toxic
• Clean burning
• Completely natural, vegan, and renewable
• Less likely to burn you
• Cost-effective
• Stronger scented

Scent and Scent Throw

We all have different scent preferences, and the same scent can mean different things to different people. Did you know we allf? Our genetics can mean that there's a 30% difference in how you'll perceive a scent compared to someone next to you. 

Some people are also far more sensitive than others to scent, so it's best to work with what you know about the person when choosing a scented candle for them. Do they have particular scents in their home they gravitate towards? How about perfumes, soaps, and colognes? Use these as your starting point and have fun from there! 

It's also important to consider scent throw, which is how far a candle can disperse its smell.

Burn Times

It's pointless to spend money on a lovely scented candle if it's only going to last a few hours. That's why burn time is crucial. The more time your candle burns, the more money you save. There are a few things that will affect burn times: 

• The wax
• The wick
• Additives like scent, color, and pigments
• The form
• The size

You want a candle that has a strong (but not dangerous) flame that lasts for a long time, produces little soot and burns evenly. If you're shopping online, see if you can find videos of the product in action.

Design

Although the perfume and light throw of a scented candle are some of the most important aspects, why not buy a candle that also looks great? This is especially important for gift-giving, as it adds to the personal touch. 

You want to gift a candle that's going to look great both lit and unlit, so why not choose something a little different? Here you can play with the container design, the color of the candle, and what's been added to it to give it a little extra charm. For example, adding crystals to a candle is a great (and safe) way to make a gift personal and also channel a little extra mojo in their manifestations.

Why Choose a Candle Set?

So we've gone through the what's and who's and why's of candles, and we wouldn't be surprised if even that feels overwhelming. How do you choose a single candle out of the hundreds of options? How do you choose a single scent that embodies a person's soul and heart? 

Well, you don't have to. A candle gift set could be the answer to all your woes. Not only will you get more than one candle, but the recipient will have the opportunity to use different candles in various rooms of their home, and your gift will last much longer than it ever would have before.
