The 2017 Holiday List of Stylish Candles Gifts That Give Back

While helping a pal shop for a secret Santa gift for a colleague I stumbled upon amazing gifts that give back during the Holiday season. The goal was to find a gift under $25.00 and not a gag gift. Since the person receiving the gift loves candles, I decided to look into a variety of stylish candles. Never did I know that there was so many candle companies out there that also give back to charities and communities. What a way to give back and gift someone as well!

Below are the candle companies I found that give back when you purchase one of their stylish candles.
