Let’s get crafty with these easy DIY Christmas candle gift ideas<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Love gifting candles? Here’s some fun inspiration! <\/strong><\/p>\n

I love candles!<\/em> I enjoy burning them at home, and since they make thoughtful, all-occasion gifts, I also stock up throughout the year. We feature awesome candle deals on Hip2Save<\/a> often, so I’m thinking you may have a stockpile as I do!<\/p>\n

I’ve rounded up several ways to “dress up” a candle to package it as a nice, festive holiday gift! Putting a little extra effort into the presentation will turn ordinary candles into something a little more special.<\/p>\n

Where’s the best place to buy candles?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If there’s a candle sale at Bath & Body Works<\/a>, I’m there – both in-store and online<\/a>! I can also be found in the aisles of TJ Maxx<\/a> and Marshall’s smelling all the beautiful discounted candles. This week Walgreens had a nice sale on candles<\/a>, so I was able to scoop up three 18 oz. jars for under $12!<\/p>\n

Removing labels & price tags<\/strong><\/p>\n

While I simply turned the candle jar around to hide the label for some of these examples, they can be removed completely with a couple of easy steps.<\/p>\n

If I have the time, I suggest soaking the outside of the candle in hot soapy water. Then you can usually scrub the label off with a scrubbing sponge and dish soap. For stubborn labels, I keep a bottle of Goo Gone<\/a> on hand, and that stuff works great!<\/p>\n

Hip Tip:<\/strong> Have empty candle jars? Here’s how to re-purpose them<\/a>!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"bottle<\/a><\/p>\n

Bottle tree brushes are still trendy this year, and I love this look!<\/h2>\n

Anthropologie has such pretty bottle brush tree candles<\/a>. They are my inspiration for how I am embellishing candles to gift this season. Luckily my DIY version is much less expensive and easy to pull off by using hot glue to attach mini bottle brush trees<\/a>. I also added some white glitter and faux snow to the top, but that is definitely optional!<\/p>\n

I noticed so many retailers now carry various colors of bottle brush trees<\/a> this year including Target<\/a>, Walmart<\/a>, Michaels<\/a>, Dollar Tree<\/a>, and online on Amazon.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
