So you need to send someone a gift, but you have no idea what they like. Nor their dress size or their personal preferences. Or what if they have dietary restrictions? There goes that gourmet cookie platter idea! 🙈

The act of gift-giving should fulfill you, not stress you. But with so many options and unknowns, combined with your genuine desire to show you care with a thoughtful gift, all of that pressure can take the fun out of gifting.

Candle gift sets may be the stress-free and custom gifting solution you need.

Giving candles as gifts means respecting a person’s unique taste while offering a classic and multipurpose gift that can be used for self-care, home décor, or a home fragrance.

Candles serve many valuable uses, and the right candle gift set can be a thoughtful and timeless gift for anyone. So if you can’t seem to figure out the best present for a friend, colleague, or loved one, Spoken Flames is here to help.

Here’s 5 reasons why a candle gift set makes the perfect gift:

1. The right candle can fit into any home style

Is their home décor style boho chic? Or designed like a minimal monastery? Or do you not even have a clue! With the right candle gift, you can give a design-neutral candle so that those sometimes private or unknown details of someone‘s home décor won’t impact your gifting decision.

Take a Spoken Flames candle, for example—its clean, minimalist design packs a maximum punch with its message. Its clear glass tumbler features typography as an art form, and the candle’s clean and minimal design style fits seamlessly into any room or home.

The added boost of motivation from our candle messages helps, too. This brings us to reason two.

2. Lighting a scented candle can help improve anyone’s mood

In our conversation with Town & Country Magazine, we shared that “scent impacts how we experience our space.” Our founder added, “scent can trigger our brain receptors to respond calmly, or even with excitement or vigor.” So lighting a scented candle may be the magic you need to get your (or your gift recipient’s) mojo back!

Our candles are generously scented with curated scent blends that support each of our affirming candle messages. A scented candle is a healthy and natural mood-booster, too.

3. Candles can be a conversation starter

While most people buy candles for the scent, there are some unique candle shapes, molds, and colors available on the candle market, too; mostly driven by aesthetics.

You might also explore a candle with a bit more features, meaning, and impact—that delivers more than what meets the eye (and nose).

The right candle gift can do more than just smell and look good, but can make someone *feel* good.

Spoken Flames candles offer multisensory experiences that engage one’s senses of sight, sound, and smell. We explore self-awareness as self-care through these immersive candle experiences which are designed to ground your whole self (mind and body).

Plus, each of our candles have a unique augmented reality that brings our candles to life with a spoken word poem or affirmation. Now THAT will give them something to talk about!

4. Candles can help alleviate stress

Candles are a self-care staple and often accommodate and set the mood for other relaxing activities like a bubble bath or a DIY spa day 🛁 Imagine turning off all artificial light in your space and relishing in the ambiance of the natural light of a candle flame. To be able to gift this experience to someone you know, could mean more than you know for that person and what they may be dealing with.

Further, candles can be the prequel to help someone sleep better and manage the not-so-good days that life can throw at us.

5. Candle gift sets are gender-neutral and great for any occasion

Happy holidays? New home? New job? Happy birthday bestie? 🥳 The *right* candle gift set should allow you to customize your gift for any milestone, occasion, gender or season.

So while candles may seem like an easy or “lazy” gift, the right customizations (whether personal or seasonal) can demonstrate how thoughtful and intentional you were in making the candle gift set special and unique for your gift recipient.

A Spoken Flames gift set offers a range of ribbon color options for any variety of occasions, holidays, or themes. You can also add a personal gift card at Checkout.
