Looking for a gift for your friend, family member, or maybe you just want to treat yourself? Scented candles are a great option and thanks to the Sijo team, we got our hands on the best smelling coconut wax blended candles in the scents: Ginger White Tea, Lavender Chamomile, and Bamboo. Gift idea: Pair scented candles with wine, chocolates, and bath bombs, for a great relaxation gift or self-care kit.

Sijo hand poured candles use a coconut wax blend and is considered the healthiest wax to make candles from because they are smokeless and soot-free. An 8.5 oz candle burns at least 60 hours due to its wooden wick and offers a slower burn than soy wax. The wooden wick creates a flat horizontal flame with minimal carbon buildup and debris. The 2.8 oz candles burn for at least 20 hours and should be melted from edge to edge at first use. Then, limit the burn time to 3 hours max.

The Bamboo candle offers subtle green tea notes and herbal bamboo fragrances, ideal for any room. The Lavender Chamomile candle promotes relaxation and sleep, ideal before bed.

The Ginger White Tea candle smells fresh and clean, lasts longer, and burns cleaner that other candles as it uses a wooden wick. The candle offers a pleasant crackling noise as it burns and if you’re sensitive to strong scents, don’t worry as these candles are not headache inducing or overpowering.
