Christmas Gifts for a Partner
Whether you’re choosing something special for a longtime partner, or need a Christmas gift for a new relationship, our timeless crystal collection from Abode Aroma stands out. Clean and sophisticated, this is a gift for someone with minimal, but classy style. From this range, spoil a loved one with the crystal candle. The sophisticated design of the crystal candle can be paired with a crystal diffuser, turning a lovely gift into something truly special.
For lovers of the Hamptons and lazy days at the beach, the Crisp White Linen Bevelled Crystal Candle is a great choice. It showcases the fresh drifts of white lily and posies of ylang-ylang blooms, enlivened with luscious servings of peach, red apple, and citrus leaves. The fragrance perfume dances on a soft ozonic pillow of musk and summer jasmine, creating the perfect ambiance with our linen candles.
The crystal range fits into any décor style, be it Hamptons, minimalist, Art Deco, modern or coastal. The Crystal scented candles & Room Diffusers have been designed to be kept & reused, with refill options available online.
To give her a truly decadent gift (and one that will rival any previous years’ gifts), we would choose the 2.4 kg extra large Santorini candle. Dreamy marine top notes mingle with patchouli and black pepper to transform your space into an aquatic haven. The Santorini range also includes a diffuser and a room mist. The artisanal glass vessels for the candle and the diffuser are really special, one of a kind pieces.
Another star in our range — and a gift we know she will definitely appreciate — is the Glimpse Luxury candle. An elegant design holds a fragrant fusion of rhubarb, white musk and the much-loved fig leaf. Each vessel is delicately hand-carved and polished by specialist artisans to allow an enchanting glimpse of the burning candle’s hypnotic flickering flame. Each candle is presented in a luxurious gloss ice white box embellished with a gold foil inscription, making them the perfect treat for you or a special someone.
These pieces aren’t just a present; these products create experiences she'll treasure long after the holiday season. As she lights the candle all year long, she’ll be reminded of this special gesture from the festive season.
Christmas Gifts for a Mother
A luxury candle or a floral diffuser can make a perfect gift for your mother, especially one that features soothing aromas.
Give something unique and create a lasting impression with this luxurious gift. Our beautiful luxury room diffusers are not mass produced, but made in small batches by skilled artisan glass blowers. No two pieces are the same. They are true designer pieces, each showcasing quality and elegance. Perfect to show that you've selected a gift that is truly special.
Revel in top notes of sumptuous black rose, laced with violet and grounded in musk with this ode to Turkey with the Halfeti diffuser.
Or choose the Adagio and bask in top notes of bitter orange and cardamom; with a blossoming heart of lavender and jasmine; and abundant base notes of tonka and sandalwood. This exquisite diffuser set is uniquely crafted from two layers of glass - crystal clear and opaque black. Artisan glass masters then carve the outer layer by hand to reveal the timeless, striking design. The diffuser has a matching glass topper, so this beautiful hand cut glass bottle can be repurposed as a decanter or decorator piece once the fragrance oil has evaporated.
Floral Scents
A floral diffuser can make a perfect gift for your mother. The most popular category of fragrance is the floral family. Floral fragrances may embody the scent of a single bloom or a bouquet of flowers. The most feminine of the families, floral fragrance evoke memories of romance, festive occasions and Spring. Shop the floral range here.
Citrus Scents
For a citrus scent,with notes such as bergamot, lemon, orange and petitgrain which are invigorating, uplifting and create a fragrance that is energetic, try the Angelica Citron Bevelled Diffuser.
Room Mists
For a mother who loves the scent, but not the flame, try luxury room mists. Ideal for spaces where using a candle or diffuser is not possible or practical, this is a perfect gift for a mother to add a lovely scent to the home each time you visit.
Christmas Gifts for a Mother-in-Law
For a mother-in-law, we recommend Reykjavik diffuser or the Vesuvius diffuser. Both diffusers are presented in artisan-made glassware, and bring the best of citrus scents to her home. The harmonies of these scents are paired well with candles belonging to the aquatic or citrus fragrance families.
The lovely sweet smelling fragrance of Scented Space Green Tea Reed Diffuser is another excellent option. A delicately sweet entanglement of peach, violet and sandalwood craft this gorgeously gentle scented experience. Her space will be filled with fragrance for up to 6 months, helping her drift away from life’s daily pressures.
For a cost conscious option that doesn’t compromise on luxury, give a room mist instead. The Santorini will be an excellent choice.
