The Best Valentine's Day Candles to Gift Her This Year -- Diptyque, Nest and More

1 year ago 55

A long-lasting scented candle is the perfect gift in any season -- but it's an especially romantic one for Valentine's Day. Not only can a great luxury candle dress up any space with a more elegant, home decor touch, but it can also set the mood and fill a room with an especially warm, cozy smell. Whether you're collecting candles to light every day and night for that homey vibe or you're just trying to find a wonderfully relaxing gift for the woman in your life, a candle makes for a truly thoughtful great -- especially if you don't want to buy traditional V-Day goodies like candy, flowers, chocolate-covered strawberries or even jewelry.

There are so many beautiful candle scents and styles to shop that can help set the tone for a romantic evening and elevate any date night. From lavender and amber to rose, vanilla, sandalwood, peony, jasmine and more floral notes -- a hand poured candle really is the sweetest of Valentine's Day gifts.

In honor of the upcoming romantic holiday, ET Style has curated a list of the best Valentine's Day candles that'll add a cozy ambiance to any home -- and show the one you love just how much you care. Shop various candle fragrances ranging in deliciously sweet (hi, sugar cookies) to smoky and woody wax melts from beloved brands such as Nest, Homesick, Glasshouse Fragrances, Jo Malone, Diptyque, Yankee Candle, Boy Smells and more.

For more Valentine's Day shopping inspiration, check out our official V-Day gift guide -- which covers everything from the best Valentine's Day lingerie to the 20 best gifts to give to loved ones.
