These Boutique-y Looking Candles Actually Come From Amazon

If you’ve been drooling over super chic candles from shops like Hay, Design Within Reach, or even the MoMA Design Store but are looking for something a little more budget-friendly, we found some incredibly chic lookalikes at some incredibly good-looking prices. 

Whether you’re hosting a holiday party or just sprucing up a weeknight dinner, you’ll be happy to have a few sets of good-looking candles and candlesticks around. If you have little ones or pets or just don’t like open flames in your home, we found some great-looking battery-powered options as well. (Note that paraffin wax, which is widely used in affordable candles, can have deleterious effects on both your personal health and the environment, so we’ve included these options only sparingly.)

For that elevated twisted candle look, we love this set of 100% beeswax candle sticks made with a 100% cotton wick. They give off a dreamy but light honey smell and can burn for up to nine hours while remaining dripless. The golden hue is inviting and warm while the structural shape keeps them looking polished and not too folksy.
