These 7 Shimmering Candles Are So Much Better Than What You Usually Give
Inspiring messages, dual crackling wicks, and perfumer-designed fragrances make them so gift-worthy.
Looking to give mom or someone else special the gift of self-care? Spoken Flames’s hand-poured candles feature scents crafted by expert perfumers, heartfelt messages, and dual wooden wicks that crackle. They also burn cleanly for hours thanks to the coconut and vegetable wax blend (which is also free of parabens, sulfates, phthalates, synthetic dyes, lead, and plastics). Even better: When lit, the candles have a golden shimmer — adding to the cozy factor.
