Canadian Gift Guide

What It Is: Apothecary-style candles handmade in Australia made from 100% soy wax with old-school (but lead-free!) cotton wicks. Each brown bottle is labelled with botanical latin, but allow me to translate for you – you can purchase one of four scents including Sage & Pomegranate, Green Tea, Citrus & Sage, or Lime Basil & Mandarin.
Who It’s For:  That vintage-loving friends of yours that could use a fresh candle to combat the omnipresent smell of incense in her home. That gardening co-worker, that’ll get a kick out of the exotic-sounding names (but actually know what they mean). That lovely aunt of yours that stopped by and watered your plants while you went on summer holidays, as a thank-you.
What It Costs: Each candle retails for $36.
Where It’s At: Alder & Co – an Oregon-based eBoutique with all sorts of vintage-lovin’ gifts.
