The best holiday gifts are the ones that feel personal—thoughtful, cozy, and maybe a little unexpected. If you’re looking for a Christmas present that checks all the boxes (useful, beautiful, sustainable), let us introduce you to something special: our limited-edition Fraser Fir Glow & Grow Kit.
It starts as a refillable candle in our newest holiday scent. It ends as a succulent planter that keeps the joy going long after the last burn. And in between, it’s one of the most meaningful, low-waste gifts you can give this season.
Let’s take a closer look at what makes Glow & Grow such a holiday standout and why Fraser Fir is already becoming a new ReCandle Co. favorite.
Meet Fraser Fir: Our New Favorite Holiday Scent
When we set out to create a new scent for the holidays, we wanted something that felt fresh, nostalgic, and unmistakably seasonal but still clean, elevated, and not overly sweet.
Enter Fraser Fir.
This scent captures the crisp, woodsy magic of a real Christmas tree, with hints of fir needle, cedarwood, and a touch of earthy moss. It’s forest-forward but never overwhelming just the right amount of green to make any space feel like a cozy winter cabin.
If you're a fan of clean, grounding scents that still give you all the holiday feels, Fraser Fir is your new go-to.
What’s Inside the Glow & Grow Kit?
This is more than just a candle it’s a full experience. Each Glow & Grow Kit includes:
1. Refillable Candle
A candle made with clean-burning soy wax, our signature cotton wick, and that forest-fresh Fraser Fir scent (Or any of our other regular scents). Like all our candles, it comes in a handcrafted ceramic vessel made by a local potter in Oceanside, CA. The vessel is reusable, durable, and built to last for years.
You can choose from our signature colors, Walnut or Teal, both designed to complement any space.
2. Glow & Grow Succulent Kit
Once your candle burns down, this kit helps you give the jar a beautiful second life. Each set includes:
- A mini bag of cactus potting mix
- A drainage-friendly stone base layer
- One healthy succulent (varieties may vary, but all are hardy and easy to care for)
- Step-by-step instructions for turning your candle jar into a thriving little planter
It’s low-maintenance, high-impact greenery and a simple way to repurpose without waste.
3. Optional Add-ons
For an even more giftable moment, pair your kit with:
- An extra candle refill in a different scent like Amber Noir or Blood Orange
- A handwritten gift note
- A subscription to our candle refill delivery because no one wants to run out of good scent
Why It’s the Perfect Sustainable Gift
The Glow & Grow Kit isn’t just pretty it’s packed with intention.
✦ It’s Refillable
Unlike traditional candles, this one’s designed to be used again and again. Just pop in a new soy wax refill when your candle burns down. No tools, no mess, no trash.
✦ It’s Reusable
The ceramic jar is hand-thrown, heat-safe up to 2,000ºF, and made to last. After the candle’s done, the jar becomes a new home for a succulent no tossing, no waste.
✦ It’s Clean and Non-Toxic
We only use fragrance oils that are free from phthalates, carcinogens, and harmful ingredients on California’s Prop 65 list making them safe for people, pets, and plants.
✦ It’s Plastic-Free
From the box to the packing tape, our shipping materials are fully recyclable and we plant a tree for every order, too.
In a season when excess often feels unavoidable, this is a gift that actually reduces waste and feels even more special because of it.
Who It's Perfect For
The Fraser Fir Glow & Grow Kit is one of those rare gifts that fits a whole range of people:
- The design-forward friend who appreciates beautiful things and good scent
- Your eco-conscious sister who’s trying to swap out single-use items
- Holiday hosts who already have everything (but never say no to plants or candles)
- Minimalists who don’t want more “stuff” but love something thoughtful and reusable
- Your partner who loves a cozy ritual at the end of the day
Basically: if they like good design, clean ingredients, and a little greenery, they’ll love this.
How to Turn the Candle Into a Succulent Planter
One of the best parts of the Glow & Grow Kit is how easy it is to transition your candle into a living centerpiece. Here’s how:
- Burn the candle down. Once it finishes, let it cool completely.
- Remove the refill. Our soy wax is designed to contract as it cools, so it pops right out, no scraping.
- Clean the jar. Use warm water and a little soap to rinse any leftover wax.
- Layer your planter. Add the included stones, then soil, and gently plant your succulent.
- Place in bright light. Succulents love sunlight! Just avoid overwatering.
It’s simple, satisfying, and adds a fresh touch of life to any shelf or sill.
Give Better This Holiday
Let’s be honest, most holiday gifts end up forgotten, used once, or quietly re-gifted. The Glow & Grow Kit is different. It’s a sensory experience, a cozy ritual, a sustainable habit, and a tiny green gift all in one.
Whether you’re shopping early or grabbing a last-minute option that still feels personal, this one’s easy to give and even better to receive.
Refill it. Repurpose it. Watch it grow. That’s the ReCandle way.
