The daily lemming

From Kobo, the Holiday Highball Candle. "Holiday Highball transports you to the heart of a swank and sumptuous holiday affair with creamy notes of boozy eggnog and spice. Flirtatious and witty banter abounds as the live band begins to play. Enjoy one midnight toast or go ahead post up by the punch bowl. Cheers!" $32.50 at Smallflower.

Diptyque’s holiday collection for 2025 will launch next week.

Another option for a Holiday 2025 candle: Chocolat Suisse from Mizensir. "Alberto Morillas has created the chocolate candle for Mizensir, a poetic and imaginative candle dedicated to this emblem of Swiss culture and gastronomy, to celebrate the festive season and accompany the winter season with warmth, softness and indulgence. [...] With the new creation, Alberto Morillas has once again succeeded in recomposing the emotion of chocolate in subtle, delicate and evocative notes: A base of sandalwood and vanilla, with a heart note of gourmand praline, contrasting with patchouli, and a top note of cocoa and tonka bean." $75 for 230g at Mizensir.
