(ARA) - The holiday season is in full swing, and if you’re like most Americans, you still have a few more people left on your gift list. What are some gift ideas that will be personal, thoughtful and appreciated . . . and yet at the same time . . . still be convenient? Here are a few ideas to consider:
* Scented candles. “Nearly 90 percent of American households use and enjoy candles and fragranced products, and four out of five people think they make great gifts,” says Rick Ruffolo, senior vice president of brand, marketing, and innovation for the Yankee Candle Company. “Candles are a great gift choice because of their broad appeal, the wide variety of scents, colors, designs and prices, and unlike fruit baskets, candy and flowers – the recipient can enjoy your gift in their home for a long time.”
National Candle Association President Bob Nelson agrees, noting “at $3.6 billion, the scented candle market continues to be a highly desirable and highly-giftable category precisely because candles are so versatile and well-liked.”

At your local Yankee Candle store, you will immediately feel the Christmas spirit. The store features colorful displays of dancing reindeer surrounding a festive selection of great holiday fragrances such as Mistletoe, Cranberry Chutney, Christmas Wreath, Jack Frost and Home for the Holidays.
* Gift cards are another idea to consider. .They have been the fastest-growing gift option in the market over the last two to three years as consumers realize the value and flexibility gift cards provide. They’re available at any of your favorite retail stores and also online.
Speaking of online – the Internet has become the fastest-growing and most convenient option for holiday gift giving. Check out your favorite retailer online, and you may be pleasantly surprised at how easy it is. In fact, often the online stores have an even greater selection than the stores, are never closed, have no checkout lines, and occasionally have special “Web-only” promotions.
