  • Aesthetic and calming, often infused with lavender, rose, or eucalyptus.

  • As the candle melts, it reveals a hidden charm, message, or even jewelry!

  • Check out brands like Secret & Scents or Jewelry Candles.


4. Food & Drink-Inspired Candles

  • Some even come in cute mugs or dessert-style containers.


📦 5. Gift Set Candles

  • Mini candle sets with different scents and moods (like “Cozy Nights,” “Self-Care Sunday,” etc.).

  • Often come in cute packaging ready for gifting.


♻️ 6. Eco-Friendly or Reusable Candles
