1. Homesick Scented Candles

Share nostalgic scents with candles that remind you of home, wherever that may be. Homesick's lineup of candles with signatures scents to remind you of the states, cities, countries, and locations you hold dear feel especially poignant this season since many will be separated from families this year due to travel restrictions. I'll be thinking of my home state with the Georgia scented candle, that smells of "Georgia peach Magnolias, water lilies, and aster flowers mix with Georgia's prided peaches softened by notes of musk."
