Certified green thumb or just an Ina Garten stan, it doesn’t matter — the veggie-minded person on your gifting list will find something delightfully delicious in a tomato-scented candle from L.A.-based Flamingo Estate. The garden-to-table home-goods brand is known for selling honey, soaps, and veggies sourced from the yards of multigenerational farmers and the estate’s celebrity neighbors alike. But even if your recipient is a cross-country plane ride away from Erewhon, this is a gift that will put them in a California state of mind.
Made with 100 percent vegetable wax, this peppery, herbaceous candle is an antidote to the sickly sweet scents that seem to dominate during the holidays. If anything, this luxurious candle feels like an ode to summer — fresh enough to make them feel as if they’re sniffing a just-picked roma from straight off the vine. Candles may seem like a basic gift, but there’s a reason why they’re so popular; people really do put them to good use. So whether you’re picking up something for the consummate hostess or thinking outside the box for the food lover in your life, get into the holiday spirit by cooking her up a big batch of pasta pomodoro and handing this baby over afterward.
