It’s probably no secret that I’m a huge fan of Nest candles. They’re chic, high quality and smell incredible. When it comes to holiday scents, they are the creme de la creme in my book. They also make amazing gifts which is what I decided to do for a lot of the people on my list this year. I opted for a bunch of mini votives which are the perfect little something for coworkers, acquaintances or a stocking. They are amazing quality, smell divine + have gorgeous packaging. Both the glass and the boxes are beautiful.
They also come in larger sizes as well. Because I have a delicious box full of candles, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to give you a run down of scents + show them off a little before they reach their homes. For holiday gifts, I love gifting holiday scents. The classic, you-can't-go-wrong-with holiday scents have always been the Holiday and Birchwood Pine. They are so so good. Holiday is so yummy- it’s festive, warm and has a hint of orange. Birchwood Pine is also delicious and an elevated version of exactly what you would expect- a classic pine scent that's perfectly done.
I was also excited to see a few new scents in the holiday lineup this year- Crystalized Ginger & Vanilla Bean and Amber & Incense. I blind ordered both of these but because I love the Nest Madagascar Vanilla fragrance, I figured the Ginger & Vanilla Bean would be a win. Amber & Incense also seemed like a great unisex/more masculine scented option so I grabbed one of those to put in my boyfriend’s stocking.

Both are really good too, ya'll. I was especially surprised by Amber & Incense. Sometimes woodsy scents can be too much for me but this one is so nice. It's woodsy but it has a sparkling element to it as well. It's almost like a very subtle, sweeter hint of pine. I would definitely buy and burn it myself. The Crystalized Ginger & Vanilla is also really good + pretty much spot on. It has a sweet, vanilla scent with just a hint of that ginger spice.
Since we're covering most of the bases here, I'll also shoutout the Blue Cypress & Snow which I also own and love. It's a wonderful winter scent. I'll actually say that any of these holiday scents are universal enough for all winter. They're all unique in their own way but equally divine... need I say more? I'm definitely not a big fan or anything.
If all else fails and candles just aren't your vibe, Nest also has beautiful reed diffusers, wall diffusers and hand soaps. My mom isn't a big candle fan either so I grabbed her a hand soap in the Holiday scent. You know I'll be trying it out too!
