None, unless you have a specific reason to think they want them.
Personally, I like the little hand sanitizers from Bath and Body works, but the scent of their other products is too strong.

Why are people saying candles are an odd gift? I think all the of the candles I own have been gifts. Do people even buy candles themselves? LOL

Asking because people seem to have collections of these candles. One candle as a gift seems too few but three seems too many? Or do you need to give 4-5 to make it a nice gift?







I'm sorry, are those pictures OF HER HOUSE?


Google bath and body works candle collections. My coworkers go berserk for these and the other products during the annual sales. I’m talking sleeping outside the stores overnight and standing in hours long lines. It’s a thing.


PP here and no thanks. I've already learned way more about this than I'd like to.

One. And a nice handwritten card. That’s it.

It's nice when someone gives you exactly what you want. I'd choose 2-3. I would also not be able to spend time in her home, but that's not the question.

They actually WANT these?
I’d say zero, get a better brand and get just one.
But if they actually specified these….two is fine

You could always add a gift card so they can continue to collect

Dumb answer. OP didn't ask what YOU want!


The answer is, any 40 year old woman who asks for a candle should get one, and something else like wine or a gift card as others have posted
