These candles smell like home, and they're the perfect gift this holiday season

The Holiday candle hit all the right notes with its scents of "freshly cut Pine trees and pomander balls; Mom's sugar cookies and Grandma's pies, warm from the oven." The whole Insider Picks team agreed that it smelled wonderful.

I brought it home to test in my apartment, and it was wonderful. Just like the NYC candle, it burned evenly and beautifully all evening long. The scent of this Holiday candle is even more aromatic and lovely — especially for this time of year.

When I closed, my eyes, the gentle pine scent reminded me of Christmastime at my Grandma's house, which was surrounded by pine trees. The hint of cinnamon in there brought me right back to baking Swedish cinnamon buns with her, too. It's my favorite of the two I tried.

There's nothing better than a beautiful candle to bring holiday cheer and coziness to your home.

If you don't like candles because of the risk of fire, you may prefer Homesick's oil diffuser. It has a 100-milliliter water tank that can diffuse scents for up to six hours, and you can choose from several different Homesick oils that smell the same as the brand's candles.

At $29.95, Homesick candles are so reasonably priced that you can get a different one for each person on your list. College students and new-ish grown-ups who are just getting started in a new city or state will love the nostalgia factor, and anyone who likes candles will appreciate how well made they are.
