My 2012 Holiday Gift Wish List: Stuff I Want That You Might Want Too

10. Diptyque Candles, The Holiday Collection

Diptyque Holiday Collection candles Not even going to front: I really like stuff that looks expensive, even dumb things like hand soap in my bathroom, wallets, trash cans, pads of paper, and yes, candles. That's why I'm a total sucker for anything Diptyque (as long as it's not too sweet/fruity smelling).  Upwards of $60 a candle is kind of silly but you're not just paying for the scent, you're also paying for they way they look and their general contributions to ambiance which I feel are considerable. For instance, all other things remaining the same, the overall vibe and impact of your coffee table will change depending on whether it boasts a Diptyque candle or one from Bath & Body Works. Some of my favorite scents are Baies, Cypres, Feu de Bois, Feuille de Lavande. For the season, they've also created three beautiful Holiday Collection ones with glass designs so rad, I don't even care what they smell like (but I bet it's good!). Holiday Collection varieties include Sapin Doré (green), Amber Oud (red), and Oliban (purple). Standard Diptyque Candles $60 each, Holiday Diptyque Candles $68 each, get it HERE
