Incense Gift Guide

Finding something thoughtful and unique can be challenging when it comes to holiday gifting. Fragrance is one of those gifts that feels personal and meaningful, making it an excellent choice for someone you care about.

But selecting a perfume or other personal care fragrance product can be intimidating and potentially expensive. And what if you do not choose the right scent?

Giving incense as a gift is a great, budget conscious way to give fragrance to your friends, family or partner. Incense comes in specific and recognizable fragrances like lavender or cedar, as well as a wide variety of incense blends each with their own distinctive scents and purported properties.

You will find that there are so many incense fragrances, some completely unique and others hauntingly familiar, making incense the ideal gift for fragrance lovers.  

This guide will walk you through how to give incense as a gift, with tips on matching the right scents to the right people and introducing others to the joys of fragrance exploration. Whether you’re looking for a main gift or a stocking stuffer, try giving the gift of incense this holiday season.

Scent is an incredibly personal experience, often tied to memories, emotions, and even food preferences. Understanding someone’s taste in food can help you choose the right scent for them.

Consider this: if someone loves fruit based desserts, they may really enjoy the lemon and raspberry notes in our Bliss incense. This blend was inspired by raspberry trifle, for best results, use lemon pound cake.

Our Winter Wonderland Incense Collection has been curated to evoke the warm and cozy feelings of the holiday season, making them ideal for someone who loves festive and nostalgic scents.

For the friend who enjoys spending time outdoors, Evergreen and Canadian Forest transport them to the scent of a forest walk after a fresh snowfall.

Cinnamon Spice or Vanilla might be the perfect match for someone who bakes holiday treats or enjoys warm, cozy spaces.

The historic blend of Frankincense & Myrrh offers a sense of tradition and spirituality. In Christianity, gold, frankincense, and myrrh were the gifts brought by the three wise men for the birth of Jesus.

For a more secular take on the season, our Winter blend combines cool pine, sweet fig and a little spicy nutmeg and clove in a way that evokes memories of holidays past.

One of the most appealing aspects of gifting incense is its versatility given the incredible amount of fragrances available. It's not just a one-size-fits-all gift—incense offers an opportunity for personalization, allowing the recipient to discover new fragrances and create their own special moments with each scent.

You can give an entire collection or break it down into smaller, personalized gifts for friends and family. This makes it easy to cater to each person's preferences without buying multiple gifts.

We offer a multitude of incense collections, each curated to capture a particular theme or mood.

If you know someone who loves florals, try our Flower Power Collection.

Does your family love camping and the outdoors? Get the Walk in the Woods or Garden Party collections to divide up amongst their stockings.

If you’re gifting incense as part of a larger holiday package, consider pairing it with items that complement the overall experience.

An incense burner, also referred to as an incense holder or ashcatcher, is a necessity. You can easily purchase an inexpensive incense burner, or even make your own.

Customizing an incense gift is simple and can make a lasting impression. Incense pairs beautifully with candles, journals, or meditation tools such as crystals.

A gift set that includes a few packs of incense, a decorative incense holder, a cozy blanket, or a book of meditative practices can elevate the experience and make your gift even more thoughtful.

When choosing a gift this holiday season, consider giving more than just an object—give an experience. Incense collections like our Winter Wonderland or Best Sellers incense stick collections are perfect for anyone who enjoys exploring new scents or wants to create a relaxing and uplifting atmosphere in their home.

By giving incense, you’re offering more than a fragrance; you’re sharing a moment, a memory, and an experience that will last far beyond the holidays.
