Alright, let’s be honest here. The holidays are fast approaching. I know, I know… it’s like Halloween just happened, but come on folks. Look around. The stores are already getting out the decorations and gift packs. So you should be prepared too. Beat the rush! You’ll be sitting back laughing, sipping some delicious hot cocoa in your Lazy Boy, while others are out sweating in their snowsuits trying to buy those last few items on their lists. (Snowsuits mainly apply to those who are Canadian, and to a few others around the world who happen to be blessed with the gift of snow during the last few months of the year). Anyway,… I thought of the perfect gift idea to start you off with, whether you’ll be in a snowsuit this year or not.

First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes… dun dun dun, the new home. What better to fill a new home with than the gift of scent? And delightfully comforting ones at that! Well Bliss Candles offers just that, in a massive range of fragrances. I was literally scrolling the page for 12 minutes. No, okay… that’s a bit much, but I scrolled regardless… a lot.

A few fragrances I was enticed by for the season: Amaretto Nog; Autumn Toddy; Baked Apple Pie; Black Cherry; Butter Pecan Pie; Buttered Rum; Chai Tea; Chestnuts & Brown Sugar; Cinnamon Coconut Cream; Cozy Home; Holiday Lights; Gingerbread Pumpkin; Jack Frost; Scotch Pine; Sugar Plum; Vanilla Hazelnut Mocha; White Ginger and Amber; Victorian Christmas.

Okay, so obviously I had a hard time slimming my list down. You try going through them all and not wanting to smell at least a dozen. I dare you! And they come in a variety of rustic, country mason jars, which happen to be all the rage right now.

So… start writing down all the ones you’d like to purchase and for whom. And if it is in fact a wedding gift, I’m sure the new couple will sincerely appreciate the wonderful touch you’ve added to their home.
