Candle people are not lighting candles for light. They are doing something else — creating a version of the room, an atmosphere, a signal to the brain that the evening is now this kind of evening. They have a candle for different moods and different seasons. They know which ones burn clean and which ones tunnel and which ones smell incredible in the store but become something different in the house. They have a few they return to and a few they are perpetually curious about because there is always another one worth trying. They have probably given candles as gifts and been embarrassed that a candle felt like a good idea, which it was, but they understand why people think otherwise and they are not going to argue. The gift for them is something that deepens this very particular kind of home ritual — a candle worth having, or something that makes the experience of having candles better.
