Sunrise Coffee: Is there any better way to start the day than with piping hot, freshly ground coffee served, of course, in your favorite mug? It’s the energy boost you crave each morning as you prepare to seize the day. But did you know that just the aroma of a cup of Joe alone can have some pretty powerful effects on performance? All the more reason to rise and shine with an espresso-scented candle, especially for a hostess gearing up for her next big event.

Afternoon Adventure: A great hostess is always seeking inspiration for her next soirée, and taking an afternoon adventure may just be the best place to start. With aromas of clean mountain air, cozy cashmere vanilla and toasty firewood, this fresh-scented candle will feel like a sensory change of scenery. 

Evening Unwind: Every hostess deserves some rest and relaxation, and calming scents like lavender and green tea make it easy to wind down after a long day. Homesick’s Evening Unwind candle is reminiscent of nights spent contently curled under a blanket with a great book and a soothing cup of tea. 

Nighttime Slumber: A good night’s sleep is essential for recharging, and the right scents can help you calm your body and mind before you hit the hay. Soft, tranquil notes of coconut and vanilla in this bedtime fragrance provide an ideal aromatic atmosphere for a restful snooze.

And this assortment of summery cocktail candles (complete with Homesick’s signature recipes!) is sure to remind your host of the laughs and stories shared over a couple of concoctions from the bar cart.

Sunshine Spritz: Sparkling cocktails are always ideal for a special occasion, and this fruity, fizzy spritz-inspired candle is fitting for a just as bubbly hostess. Zippy notes of pomegranate, oranges and limoncello settle into a base note of Prosecco. We can practically hear the glasses clinking in a toast to the host. 

Midsummer Mojito: The zesty scents of freshly squeezed lemons and limes meet a cooling hint of mint, all grounded in a generous splash of rum. A refreshing mojito candle is a lovely libation scent to hit refresh with following a busy day of entertaining.
