Buying Guide

Match scent to the event

Choose lavender-scented candles for calming, all-ages gatherings or unscented/neutral options if guests have fragrance sensitivities

Consider pack size and use

Larger 24-piece sets are ideal for multiple tables or party favors, while smaller packs suit intimate gatherings or single-table centerpieces

Check burn type and form factor

Tealights and votives burn differently—tealights are compact and great for holders, while votives provide taller flame and longer visible burn

Evaluate scent strength and longevity

Look for reviews and product details that note whether fragrance is subtle or strong and how long the scent persists during use

Prioritize non-toxic wax and wicks

Choose candles made from cleaner-burning waxes and lead-free wicks to reduce soot and indoor pollutants during celebrations
