Candles are actually a traditional housewarming gift, having been given to new homeowners for generations. It’s said to bring tidings of “a home full of light and happiness.” No one really knows where this tradition began but you can’t go wrong with gifting candles. For a more modern spin on it, you can gift a candle with a meaningful scent. For example, if your friends are moving further away from the beach, gift them with an ocean-scented candle to remind them of where they came from. Candles can be personalized for an extra special touch, too.
