Best Mom Ever Gift Candle – Lavender Vanilla Tangerine, Beeswax & Coconut, 9 oz

Fontana's Best Mom Ever candle is a ready-to-give gift for Mother's Day, Mom's birthday or just because. It's part of the Fontana Celebrations Collection, made for marking life's moments without bringing synthetic fragrance into the home. The label reads "Best Mom Ever" and the scent is Lavender Vanilla Tangerine: lavender blended with real vanilla extract and brightened with tangerine and lemon peel, delicately sweet and uplifting.

The candle is made with a beeswax and coconut oil blend, scented only with lemon peel, tangerine and lavender essential oils with real vanilla extract and burned on an untreated wooden wick. It uses the same real vanilla extract Fontana spent three years sourcing. If you're celebrating both parents, it pairs with the Best Dad Ever candle.

• Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep it away from drafts, children, pets and anything that can catch fire.
