Enchanting Holiday Candle Gift Sets for a Cozy 2025 Season

For cozy nostalgia in a jar, Homesick's holiday lineup - think Gingerbread House, Christmas Morning, Cozy Sweater - pairs familiar notes of spice, vanilla, pine, and woods with a long 60-80 hour burn. During our review, the reusable glass felt giftable and practical for repurposing, and the medium intensity works well for bedrooms or dens without overpowering the space. Be aware that fragrance throw can vary between scents and batches, and we've seen reports of slow customer service and occasional breakage in transit - order early to allow for replacements.

NEST's Festive Votive Trio is a foolproof crowd-pleaser, bundling three seasonal scents - think pine, citrus-berry, and warm spice-vanilla - into reusable metallic glass that instantly dresses up a console or guest bath. In our testing, the medium intensity and 20-28 hour burn per votive worked nicely for evenings and smaller rooms, with easy gifting thanks to the premium box. Just note the petite size won't perfume large, open spaces for long, so frequent replacements may be needed if you want all-day fragrance coverage.

Looking for festive variety in a compact format? LAFCO’s Holiday Votive Trio delivers Woodland Spruce, Absinthe Plum, and White Maple Bourbon—pine, berry, and vanilla vibes—with a medium scent intensity. During our review, the individually boxed 1.9‑ounce votives felt gift‑ready, and each offered around 20 hours of burn, ideal for smaller rooms or dinner parties. The trade‑offs: overall burn per candle is limited, and the cost‑per‑ounce is higher than standard jars, but the embossed ribboned box elevates the whole experience.

For fragrance lovers on the go, Boy Smells’ Travel Spray Gift Set packs three TSA‑friendly 10 mL spritzes—Woodphoria, Coco Cream, and Rosy Cheeks—covering woody, gourmand‑vanilla, and rosy‑berry moods. During our review, the long‑lasting, strong projection made a few sprays go a long way, great for travel or quick outfit resets. Sensitive noses should start light, and note some retailers list this as final sale, limiting returns. The premium gift box makes it holiday‑ready even without extra wrapping.

For cozy, food‑forward vibes, this P.F. Candle Co. trio brings gourmand, citrus, spice, and woody notes in three 3.5 oz minis. In our testing, the 100% domestically grown soy wax delivered a clean, medium‑intensity burn of about 20–25 hours per candle, perfect for kitchens or living rooms. Some buyers report a subtler scent throw than pricier luxury brands—our experience shows it suits those who prefer balanced fragrance. Because it’s limited‑edition and gift‑boxed, it can sell out fast, so don’t wait.

Nothing says winter like Thymes Frasier Fir, and this frosted plaid votive trio captures that realistic pine-and-cedar, forest-fresh aroma in charming vessels that look ready for the mantel. In our testing, the medium intensity smells beautifully balanced in smaller rooms, but each 2 oz candle offers about 16 hours of burn and can feel subtle in open-plan spaces. It's pricier than many votive sets, yet the gift box with tissue and evergreen-true fragrance make it a thoughtful, season-long accent or an easy, elegant holiday present.

If you love ambiance as much as fragrance, WoodWick's Trilogy Winter Garland delivers with its crackling wooden Pluswick and three layered holiday notes - berry, pine, and woods - in one jar. In our testing, the medium throw and roughly 60-hour burn felt just right for cozy nights, adding a fireplace vibe even in small apartments. It's pricier than many single-scent candles and uses a soy/paraffin blend, and we found large, open rooms may need two jars for strong coverage.

Jo Malone’s Travel Candle Trio is a chic way to explore citrus, floral, and fresh classics without a full‑size commitment. We found the compact 60 g candles easy to pack, with a medium throw and roughly 18 hours each—great for bedrooms, guest baths, or desks. The premium gift box feels special for holiday gifting, though the burn time is short compared with Jo Malone’s larger jars. At $115, the price is steep for minis, but the curated mix makes sampling feel indulgent.

If you want to audition Byredo's florals before investing, this discovery set packs six 2 ml vials across floral, fresh, citrus, and woody profiles in a premium gift box. In our testing, the included $60 voucher essentially makes the trial free toward a full-size bottle, though it expires in four weeks and purchases are limited to one set per person. We found the medium intensity and reports of lighter longevity mean these minis shine for sampling or travel, but 2 ml won't satisfy anyone wanting extended wear.

Want to sample Diptyque without committing to full jars? This Holiday Edition set packs five iconic fragrances across berry, floral, woody, gourmand, and spice profiles in travel‑friendly 35 g candles, each with about 10 hours of medium‑intensity burn. In our testing, the premium gift box made it an effortless, luxe present, and the minis were perfect for small rooms or cozy evenings. Just note the relatively short burn time and the premium price for minis if you prioritize long hours over variety and portability.

For a design-forward gift, the Replica Candle Trio wraps three distinct scents - floral, woody, fresh/spice - in colored wax and a premium box that looks chic on any side table. In our testing, the mini travel size delivered roughly 17 hours per candle, which makes it easy to rotate moods or split the set among stockings. Our experience shows the medium intensity can feel soft in big, open rooms, so place them closer for best impact or save them for intimate spaces.

A cult‑favorite scent to pair with your candle ritual, No.04 Bois de Balincourt’s mini travel set includes an eau de parfum and perfume oil for easy layering. During our review, the warm sandalwood‑cedar profile read cozy and skin‑close—great for everyday wear or travel. Some users report limited longevity and projection, and the mini sizes won’t last with heavy use. Still, the vegan, cruelty‑free formula and premium gift box make this a thoughtful, portable indulgence at a friendly price.

Spa‑minded gifters will appreciate Rituals’ The Ritual of Ayurveda set, which bundles four travel‑friendly body essentials in a reusable, premium gift box. In our testing, the floral‑gourmand scent profile felt soothing yet noticeable—lovely for self‑care nights alongside your favorite candle. Those sensitive to fragrance should know it reads more pronounced than unscented body care. For $35, it’s a complete, ready‑to‑gift routine that turns any evening into a pampering ritual, and the keepsake box doubles nicely for storage.

For wellness-minded friends, Neom's Wellbeing Trio offers three purpose-driven 75 g candles - Happiness, Real Luxury, and Perfect Night's Sleep - made with 100% naturally derived essential-oil blends. In our testing, the roughly 20-hour burn per travel candle and medium, soothing diffusion worked beautifully for bedtime routines and WFH desks, with premium gifting presentation right out of the box. Just note these aren't the powerhouse throwers of Neom's larger 3-wick jars, and essential-oil allergens may bother very sensitive noses - best for smaller rooms and thoughtful, self-care moments.

Voluspa's 12 Day Advent Calendar feels luxe from the start, with a premium gift box hiding twelve 2.5 oz votives across floral, woody, gourmand, vanilla, berry, citrus, pine, and spice. During our review, we loved the included gold-plated wick trimmer and the medium-intensity scents, and the 25-hour burn per candle made it easy to rotate fragrances throughout the month. The trade-off is value: individual burns are shorter than a full-size jar and the $175 price is premium, but variety seekers will appreciate the daily surprise and polished presentation.

For a festive countdown that samples the classics, this 12-day Yankee Candle advent serves up mini tea lights in pine, spice, vanilla, berry, citrus, and woody notes, all gift-ready in a premium box. During our review, the 7-10 hour burn per candle made it easy to rotate scents nightly and share among family members without committing to full-size jars. That said, our experience shows these tiny lights offer a medium but modest throw, especially in large rooms, and the price per ounce is higher than Yankee's classic jars.

If you want the ultimate splurge, Diptyque's 25-day advent calendar mixes mini candles, fragrances, and body treats in a collectible presentation box you'll want to display year after year. In our testing, the curation felt special and the medium-intensity scents are lovely, though the 35 g minis burn about 12 hours and only the occasional 70 g size reaches 30 hours. The price is undeniably high, so it's best for brand devotees or gift givers chasing a luxury experience and a keepsake box rather than maximum burn time per candle.

Stretch your holiday budget with this Yankee Candle duo: two 7.5‑ounce tumblers in complementary pine, cedar, and spice notes. During our review, the medium fragrance intensity created a cozy tree‑trimmed feel without overwhelming the room, and the gift box—with tissue, tree windows, and a gold bow—looked ready to give. The catch is choice: you’re limited to the two included scents, so it may not suit every nose. For classic Christmas ambience at $15, though, it’s an easy win.

A tiny tin with big holiday spirit, Capri Blue’s Crystal Pine blends true‑to‑season pine and fir in a sparkling emerald‑and‑gold glimmer tin. We found the 3 oz size perfect for stockings, guest baths, or travel, with up to 15 hours of medium‑intensity burn. Just know the small volume limits overall burn time and scent throw in large, open rooms. Pricing can vary by retailer, but if you need a festive, gift‑ready accent, this tin punches above its weight.

This Wild Fig holiday jar feels gift‑worthy from the striped glass alone, and the 100% soy wax with lead‑free cotton wicks promises a cleaner burn. Our experience shows a medium throw that builds over time; some buyers report the first burn is lighter, but patience pays off. With up to 70 hours, it’s a long‑hauler for living rooms or open shelving. Full retail can be high compared with similar sizes, yet the reusable vessel and premium boxing add value.
