The last thing I’d usually recommend is a scented candle. I’m generally not a huge fan, especially when they cost so much, but there is one specific candle I will shell out money for every time: Diptyque’s Feu de Bois. Translated, it means “firewood,” and the scent is simply perfect to light in cold weather (unless, of course, you have a real fireplace).
