The Most Romantic Candles to Light Up This Valentine's Day

Whether you’re gifting a candle or just stocking up for whenever the mood strikes, I’m here with the best Valentine’s Day candles worth adding to your cart. Because—correct me if I’m wrong—Valentine’s Day wouldn’t quite be Valentine’s Day without at least one lit candle somewhere in the mix (that and a hot date, sexy lingerie, loads of candy, or a cute gift exchange), amiright?

I’m not saying you have to be coupled up to enjoy a good V-Day-themed candle. Cozying up at home with a movie and one (or two) candles aflame could be the perfect way to celebrate Galentine’s Day with your pals or indulge in some self-love if you’re single on Valentine’s Day. I’m just saying that whatever your plans are, a candle needs to be there.

From sultry rose-scented votives to even some specially designed massage candles that’ll help heat up any at-home touch experience, you’ll find 26 of the best Valentine’s Day candles below.
