Ahh the age old question. You want to get your bookish bestie a gift she'll love, and you settle on a clean-burning, book-inspired candle, but what scent should you get?!

I'm here to help. Here's my recommendations for picking out the perfect scent your bookish bestie will love.

Take a peek at the scents they already love
1. Next time you're over, take a look at some of the labels and note the scents she already has in her collection, and try to match up similar scents. Does she favor sandalwood and outdoors scents? Try Bookworm! Are all of her scents bright and citrusy? Get her A Novel Twist!
Buy a best seller
1. This one is perfect for those you may not know super well, or can't see what kind of scents she already has. The best-sellers are popular for a reason, and most people who pick them up love them.
Gift something you love-it’ll remind them of you
1. Do you have a signature scent you're known for? Gift her that! She'll think of you every time she smells it and it'll be like a little hug every time she sits down to read.

1. If you're really stuck, reach out and ask me for a recommendation! Give me the background for the gift and I'm happy to guide you in the right direction. Sometimes even knowing what types of books your bestie reads can point me in the right direction for a scent she'll love 👀

You really can't go wrong with a thoughtful gift, and getting your bookish bestie a book-inspired candle is one of the best out there (in my completely biased opinion).
