Valentine's Day Candles Starting at Just $12 That Anyone Will Love
When it comes to Valentine’s Day gifts, you may be torn between flowers and chocolates. If you ask us, we suggest skipping both and opting for Valentine’s Day candles, instead. Not only are candles a great way to express how you feel without having to say a whole lot, but every time your partner gets a whiff of the sweet scent, they’ll think of you. Plus, unlike flowers and chocolates, candles last a while. Some, in fact, can burn for more than 40 hours.
The best part? Plenty of our favorite Valentine’s Day candles actually smell like flowers and chocolate. That said, no matter which scent you go for—sweet, fresh, musky, or any other notes—your special someone will be in for a treat. Moreover, all our picks below, of course, come in the prettiest containers allowing your giftee to repurpose the present with ease.
On top of that, we've also considered every scent, price, and color to make sure there's something sweet for everyone. From Jo Malone’s peony and blush suede candle in the brand’s iconic clear glass to a Texas artisan’s coffee-scented wax in a heart-shaped ceramic mug, you'll adore the Valentine's Day candles here so much that you may even snag one for yourself. Go on, get shopping before the big day!

Glossier Candles
Glossier
glossier.com
£37.00
When Glossier launched back in 2014, it was a small beauty brand that sold only a few products. Nearly a decade later, it has evolved into an empire that carries some of our favorite products, including this rich scented candle in a glossy red (or petal pink) glass jar. The original, dubbed Glossier You, features the same signature scent as the brand's fragrance: pink pepper, fresh Iris, and woody ambrette and ambrox.
