Shoppist’s 25 Gifts of Christmas: Day 21

The coolest candle you can give this season.

Now that the holidays are officially upon us, we here at Shoppist are in full gifting mode. Each day this month, we’ll unveil our 25 top gifts to buy in Philly this season. (Trust us: We’ve shopped everywhere to bring you the best of the best.)

When it comes to most candles, saying you can reuse the jar is akin to telling a bridesmaid she’ll be able to re-wear her bridesmaid dress. You just can’t. But Jonathan Adler’s Muse D’Or candle—in a surrealist gold glazed ceramic vessel—is the equivalent of a ridiculously flattering and actually cute bridesmaid dress: You’ll totally use the pot again (can you imagine how gorgeous a flower arrangement will look in it?). Which makes the pink pepper and sage balsam scent just a bonus.

The Details: Muse D’Or candle, $78 at Jonathan Adler, Old City.

Give To: Your mother-in-law.
