The Watch Operation Condor Onlineholidays are upon us, and we're willing to bet you're already burning at both ends.
Perhaps your family is in town, including your shitty nephews. Perhaps you have an elaborate Christmas menu to plan. Perhaps you are hung over from your office holiday party, overtaken by fear that the hangover might last several days.
Who has time for intensive gift-shopping? Not you!
SEE ALSO: 20 useful gifts that no one would buy for themselvesYes, yes, in a perfect world you'd have bought or knit or woodworked your gifts weeks ago -- each of them perfectly suited to the passions of each of your cousins. But if you didn't, here is what you do: buy each of those humans a scented candle.

You don't have to spring for fancy candles, either (although you can certainly go that route if you wish). No, just get those suckers from Target or World Market or whatever. Pick up a few while you're out buying wrapping paper and Scotch tape.
No way,you say, candles are so impersonal! Not so. Candle preferences -- smell preferences -- are highly personal.

Thus, if someone got you a breezy ocean candle, you'd be thrilled -- and if someone knew to notget you a Sprinkle Cookie Wonderland candle, you'd be even happier. Personally, we'd feel seen as hell.
So on your candle shopping trip, consider what you've observed about your recipients. It doesn't have to be too deep. In fact, it can be the opposite of deep. Did you go apple picking together this fall? Get them a cider-y candle. Do they adore magnolias? Get them a magnolia candle. Do they love being cozy? Great -- a lot of people love being cozy. There are also quite a few candles with the word "cozy" in their names. Wrap it up with a cute bow. Write a little note. You've made it.
