Expensive scented candles are the height of luxury in my book. While I am relegated to inexpensive, and hopefully inoffensive Yankee Candle scents, I do spend a lot of time daydreaming about what it must be like to light a $50 candle and curl up on the couch with a good gossip magazine and a glass of Oregon Pinot Noir. Ah, talk about heaven!

Right now, the candle of choice in my mind is Tocca Beauty's Stella candle. Scented with the fragrance of my favorite winter fruit -- the blood orange -- the Stella candle has a burn time of 60 hours. At $36, the candle is available from Sephora.com. If some family member or friend of mine REALLY wanted to get me something good this year, I'd say, buy away!

(Was that too obvious?)
