It almost goes without saying that the holidays will look a little different for everyone this year. I’m lucky to live under the same roof as my immediate family, but I won’t be able to see my best friends and extended family across the country, so I’m leaning into sentimental gifts that will really be touching to my faraway loved ones. On the top of my list is Homesick, which makes hand-poured candles that draw upon your sense of smell to conjure nostalgic memories. Homesick is best known for their location-themed candles that capture the essence of a city, state, or country. Maybe your friends had plans to visit Hawaii this year, or perhaps you’re spending the holidays away from your family for the first time. Their candles are a small but powerful way to capture the essence of one of your favorite places and send your love from anywhere. Right now, Homesick is offering 20 percent off sitewide, so get your orders in soon to give a piece of home in time for the holidays. Here are a few of our favorites.

The State Candle

Homesick

$27.20

was $34.00

As a lifelong Oregonian, this candle has my stamp of approval. I would happily give it to out-of-state friends from college who miss the smell of pine trees and hazelnuts. If you don’t have a connection to the Beaver State, try one of Homesick's other state-themed candles and reed diffusers.
