If you have a friend who is obsessed with crystals and candles, they will love this. The packaging and overall aesthetic of this candle is what makes it giftable. Is smoothly slides out of a cylindrical container that protects it snugly. The wooden top provides a modern and elegant touch which fits in great with home decor. Once lit, the flames dance off the reflection on the crystals. One irritation I had with mine though is that once I unboxed the candle, a small amount of loose lavender fell out all over the place. It only took a few seconds to clean up, but it was an unwelcome addition. Overall, I would still recommend this candle.
