After this week's snowstorm, our homes here look like gingerbread houses. This might just be me projecting that I could use a snack right now—but it's undeniably ushering us into a festive spirit.
Speaking of the holidays, here are our top picks for gifts this season, from stocking stuffers to yearlong options—along with relations sent in from fellow Keapers. We hope this list makes your gifting this year a little easier and brighter!
Gifts That Are Sure Hits
Our Wood Cabin + Northlands Duo ($99) pairs our two winter fan favorites: Northlands—a "deep-woods pine forest blanketed in snow"—and Wood Cabin—"the quieter, slower rhythm of cabin life in the last light of dusk."
The Keap x Jono Pandolfi Ceramic Candle ($99) contains our Signature Scent Wood Cabin inside a hand-thrown mug in a honeyed toast clay, glazed white on the inside.
"After the candle was finished, I loved using it as my daily morning matcha cup."
Gifts for Foodies
It's no secret that our candles have become a favorite of NYC chefs and foodies.
An Eat Bar favorite, Timur Moon ($59.50) is a year-round, all-natural scent with a unique and gentle profile, which can spark a conversation around the fascinating story of Timur Pepper.
Meanwhile, if you head to Borgo you're likely to find a Wild Figs ($54.50) burning in the bathroom. Wild Figs has gotten praise over the years as the best fig candle, bar none (see Francesca's note below). Its profile is slightly fruity but not sweet, vegetal and dark, unmistakably figgy and inviting.
Gifts That Keep on Giving
A Gift Subscription ($142.50-$570) provides your recipient with the gift of sensory ritual and the passing of the seasons. We offer prepaid options at various price points, which also gives them first access to our new scents, fun preview tealights in every package, and more subscriber perks.
"I had gifted a subscription to my sister who lived a state away... These candles were an ongoing way to say 'I love you!' every time she burned them."
Another popular option we love hearing about is to purchase a 2-pack Subscription ($85 / month) to share the experience with a loved one. Whether it's your romantic partner or someone you would like to have an excuse to meet with monthly, this is a fun way to connect.
Stocking Stuffers
Our Scent-to-Home Sample Set ($19) makes a perfect stocking stuffer: you can either gift the whole set, or split up the five individual mini candles across several recipients, and kick off a fun little smelling exchange game! The set also comes with a $19 store credit toward a new candle subscription.
What in the world can beat the satisfying feeling of striking a good match? Our current jumbo matchbox ($16) features artwork from Yiting Nan and Justin Zhang of our native Virginia Strawberry and includes around forty 4"-long matches.
If in doubt, there's always the option of a gift card for your recipient to choose their favorite scent. We also have a few of our popular Moon Totes left for fellow Keap fans.
We're always here if you have any questions or need any assistance!
Warmly,
— Harry from Keap, Steward-Owner
