quite possibly the world's best candle.

it's hard to get excited about something as banal as a candle, but i have. these 100% clean-burning soy candles by kobo are absolutely dreamy and extremely gift-worthy. the scents are present without being overpowering, creative and packaged deliciously. and just in time for the holidays, you can cross four people off your list with one fell click at burkedecor.com: four for $96 and free shipping (at $34 each regular price, you're getting one and then some free!). don't balk at the price; the packaging means you won't have to gift wrap and your gift will go from yawn to awe.

my favorite is the manchurian dragon fruit.
