Los Angeles, California – June 27, 2024: DOLLAR TREE Store, American chain of discount variety stores that sells items for 1 dollar or less

I know winter is the best time to be cozy inside, but if you’re anything like me you’ve got the outdoors on your mind — I’m already brainstorming ways to make my outdoor space more stylish and browsing through grilling recipes to try when summer arrives. One thing I can enjoy now, though? This perfect outdoor Dollar Tree gem that keeps the mosquitoes away year-round. It’s no wonder people are flocking to the stores!

The lovely $1.25 citronella candle, made by iconic 124-year-old outdoor gear brand, Coleman, comes in a darling speckled mug and burns for up to 50 hours, creating an aesthetic and functional piece for any outdoor area. Remember to keep it outside of the home, though, as citronella candles shouldn’t be lit indoors. The viral candle mug — which has sold out several times now — comes in white (pine-scented), navy (s’mores-scented), and red (campfire-scented). 

Shoppers are ecstatic to hear this candle is back on the shelves; commenters on this TikTok showing it off talked about checking their location several times for this find, while another asked the creator which aisle they found the candle in. (They said the hardware aisle, by the way.)

Seriously, this candle is a win-win-win — it helps keep pesky bugs at bay while emitting a fresh and wintry scent, offering a nice festive aroma wherever you are. Plus, once the candle runs out, you can reuse the mug as a charming decor piece or organizer for holding small items like pens or buttons.

My suggestion? Snag a few of these as a last-minute holiday gift for the outdoor enthusiast in your life. They can pop it outside their home or take it on their next camping trip.

Dollar Tree doesn’t sell this candle online, so head to your local store to snag this fabulous find. If it’s not available in-store, or you don’t live near a Dollar Tree, grab it on Amazon for only a few dollars more (still a steal, by the way). Choose your favorite and get it delivered to your home in no time!
