The winter season is upon us! One of the best ways to complete a house in the cold is by lighting a pleasant candle. The variety of scents fill a room for any setting, from entertaining, to relaxing. Anyone is able to enjoy the energies that candles give off, as they have become a popular item for decoration, clarity, and simply to fill an area with a fine candle to fit their room’s aesthetic.

Candles have become a product in demand recently, as people from all ages have been able to appreciate everything to offer. “Candles make me feel comfortable when I light them”, says Christina Golden, a senior in high school. “I love being able to take in their nice smells,” she continued, “and I buy them all the time. Sometimes they even help me focus”. She added that candles are the perfect way to set any mood; different scents can be associated with different feelings.

There are many different candle brands that people adore. They can be used as a great gift, or even something to fill space in a decorative display. Niki Malone, an avid candle buyer, claims that “candles offer uniqueness when it comes to the choices people buy. Different candles are used for plenty of situations but finding the right one can be difficult sometimes.” This is why it is important to investigate multiple options, so that each person can find the perfect candle for themselves.

Gold Hill

Gold Hill candles are typical candles, with basic labeling that can fit any sort of environment. They offer luxury fine fragrance options, as well as natural soy wax candles. The brand prides itself on being “eco-conscious” and non-toxic, being a healthier and safer candle option for consumers. Oprah Winfrey’s magazine even promoted the candle as being one of the best, and highly recommended it!

However, these candles are the most expensive, with the cheapest choice costing $69.99. The distinctive scents and beneficial properties of their production force the price to be marked up, which sometimes turns consumers away from purchasing them. Despite this, consumers undeniably adore the scents that Gold Hill candles have to offer, as they update their page seasonally with new candle options. The site doesn’t have much variety all at one time, though.

A basic candle fills this display as a nice addition to the home decorations.
