What do you get for the person that has everything, the person that you don't know very well, the white elephant party, or your kids' teachers? Coming up with gifts for a variety of different events, personalities, and requirements can make gift giving more stressful than it needs to be. The one thing that you can give to anyone and it will always be loved? That's right, a candle.
Candles are always a great gift, especially when they burn clean, are made ethically, and in some (all) cases the containers can be repurposed into elegant drinkware, a succulent container, or a place to nicely display everyday items like cotton swabs in the bathroom.
All the ladies here at Golden & Pine put together a list of their go-to brands and scents, some holiday and some of the year-round kind. Find out who on staff is your scent soulmate.
Golden & Pine's fearless leader and curator of beautiful things, Stephanie, loves Apotheke's Black Cypress, a limited edition seasonal candle. You will easily transport yourself to a peaceful forest with this candle burning in the background.

Apotheke is a popular brand inside Golden & Pine's ranks. Kate, our wonderful & creative visual stylist, prefers Apotheke's Sea Salt & Grapefruit candle. Everyone's favorite G&P store manager, Carly, is a huge fan of Apotheke's Canvas scent. It's a clean scented candle that's great to burn year round.
