Candles make for excellent main gifts or stocking fillers, especially when presented in festive jars, tins or even wrapped in a beautiful bow.
Festive Wax Melts
Wax melts are a fantastic alternative to candles and are perfect for people who love the idea of home fragrance but want something a little different. They’re also super affordable, making them great stocking fillers and therefore score high on our favourite Christmas home fragrance gift ideas!
