COCOCOZY's Gardenia-Scented Candle Arrives Just in Time for Valentine's Day!

Angela Swinderman Elias — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 04:00:56 PST

We know her as Coco, the voice behind the delightful design blog and shop, COCOCOZY. Aside from offering an incredibly chic assortment of textiles, bedding, pillows, and vintage finds, the COCOCOZY shop offers fragrant, all-natural, biodegradable soy wax candles in three scents: beach, citrus, and flower. Hand poured in the US, the candles are placed in frosted recyclable glass vessels and contain a lead free cotton wick, which boosts their ecological appeal.

If you're searching for a simple and sweet Valentine's Day gift for your mom, sis, or best friend, the gardenia-scented floral candle is available in a limited edition version just for the holiday! Red and white replaces the classic black and white packaging for this special version. Coco just sent one to our office, and after taking it home and burning it for 30 minutes, the intoxicating scent of heady gardenia has infused my entire apartment. And retailing for just over $40, I'm thinking I might need to treat someone else besides my husband this Valentine's Day.

8 Great Hanukkah Gifts: Night 4

Miriam Lacey — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 03:30:32 PST

Hanukkah is halfway over, and if you're behind on the giving, now's the time to break out surprise luxury gifts. You don't have to spend a ton or lose the spirit of the holiday to impress someone special, though. Our delightful designer present pick is this See by Chloe makeup mirror ($48). The detailing and leather work are lovely, and it looks like something special and beautifully made despite its petiteness. Giving a mirror is also in keeping with the idea of light, which is so important during Hanukkah. Like the candles and gelt, a mirror shines and gleams, reflecting light into darkness and making even the coldest nights just a bit merrier.
