Candle Stocking Stuffers: Petite Candles & Tea Lights

Stockings are where the fun happens on Christmas morning: little surprises, small luxuries, and treats people wouldn’t always buy for themselves. If you’re looking for stocking stuffer ideas that feel cozy, elevated, and genuinely useful, our petite candles and scented tea lights are perfect candle stocking stuffers.

At Bia Candle Co, every scent is perfume-inspired, highly scented, and hand-wrapped with eco-friendly paper and a grosgrain ribbon. Our petite candles and extra-large tea lights tuck beautifully into stockings while still delivering real burn time and serious fragrance.

Why Petite Candles Make the Best Stocking Stuffers

Our petite candles are 3.5 oz single-wick candles designed for small spaces and subtle scent experiences. They’re ideal for bedside tables, bathrooms, desks, reading nooks, or anyone who wants to try a scent before committing to a larger size.

Each petite candle:

Delivers up to about 20 hours of burn time.
Comes in the same luxe amber glass jar and gold lid as our larger sizes.
Arrives gift-wrapped and ready to slide straight into a stocking.

Below are some of our favorite petite stocking stuffer picks, matched by personality and vibe.

Petite Candle Stocking Stuffers by Personality

For the Christmas Tree Lover: Fresh Woods Limited Edition (Petite)

Know someone who insists on a real tree every year—or wishes they had one? Fresh Woods Limited Edition Candle in the petite size is a tiny jar of Christmas-tree magic. With powerful notes of pine, fir, balsam, cedar, and frankincense, it makes the whole room smell like a freshly cut tree.

Best for: pine lovers, families with faux trees, anyone who wants their home to smell like a winter forest.

For the Holiday Baker & Cozy Homebody: Holidays (Petite)

If their love language is mulled wine, cookies, and Hallmark movies, tuck a Holidays Candle in petite size into their stocking. It’s our “Christmas in a jar” scent, blending spruce berries, sweet orange peel, cinnamon, clove, anise, pine, vanilla, and nutmeg for a cozy, spicy-sweet holiday mood.

Best for: hosts, holiday bakers, and anyone who wants their home to smell like Christmas morning.

For the Spa-Night-at-Home Friend: French Lavender (Petite)

For the person who loves baths, sheet masks, and early bedtimes, choose French Lavender Candle in petite. This is a true lavender experience—herbaceous, aromatic, and calming—with notes of lavender, rosemary, eucalyptus, and cedarwood. It’s a mini spa session in candle form.

Best for: stressed-out friends, new parents, or anyone who needs help winding down.

For the Perfume Lover & Glam Friend: Amber Santal & Velvet Goddess (Petite)

For the friend who always smells amazing and loves a little drama:

Amber Santal Candle (petite) is a sensual, unisex gourmand-woody blend with orange, violet, sweet amber, sandalwood, vanilla orchid, and patchouli. It’s cozy, seductive, and endlessly giftable.

Velvet Goddess Candle (petite) takes that idea even further—richer, creamier, and more floral-gourmand with cassis, grapefruit, cherry, jasmine, rose, vanilla, golden amber, and cedar wood. Think: signature-perfume-as-a-candle energy.

Best for: sisters, best friends, partners, and anyone who loves luxury fragrance.

For the Floral Romantic: Jasmine Magnolia & No Man’s Rose (Petite)

If they love flowers and pretty details, consider a floral petite candle:

Jasmine Magnolia Candle (petite) feels soft, feminine, and comforting—like a bouquet in candle form.
No Man’s Rose Candle (petite) is a modern, fresh take on rose with berries, citrus, and green notes—romantic but not old-fashioned.

Best for: flower lovers, romantics, and anyone who decorates with fresh blooms year-round.

For the Moody, Woodsy, or “For Him” Vibe: Palo Santo & Smokin’ Cowboy (Petite)

For masculine-leaning or moody scent lovers, add one of these petite candles to their stocking:

Palo Santo Candle (petite) is smokey, meditative, and mystical, with rosemary, palo santo, cedarwood, leather, sandalwood, and tonka bean.
Smokin’ Cowboy Candle (petite) leans into leather, woods, and blue iris for a rugged yet polished “man cave” vibe.

Best for: guys who say they “don’t like candles” (they will), woodsy-scent lovers, and anyone who prefers deeper, smokier fragrances.

Scented Tea Lights: Tiny but Mighty Stocking Stuffers

Our Tea Light candles are the unsung heroes of stocking stuffers. These are not your average tiny tea lights—they’re extra large at 1.5 oz with an impressive 8–10 hour burn time. Each one comes in a plastic cup with a lid, making them easy to tuck into stockings, gift bags, or alongside a handwritten card.

You can choose tea lights in many of our most-loved scents, including:

Velvet Goddess
Fall Vibe
Amber Santal
Enlighten Me
Fresh Woods
Holidays
Jasmine Magnolia
No Man’s Rose
Smokin’ Cowboy
Palo Santo
Honeydew Me
Citron Vert
French Lavender
Pistachio Coconut
Wash Away My Sins

They’re perfect when you:

Want to let someone try a scent before they commit to a full candle.
Need a small but thoughtful gift for teachers, coworkers, or neighbors.
Are building “mini self-care kits” with tea, skincare, and a candle.

How to Build the Perfect Candle-Themed Stocking

If you want a stocking that feels cohesive and intentional, build it around a scent theme:

Cozy Holiday Stocking: Holidays petite candle + Fresh Woods tea light + a festive mug and hot cocoa.
Spa Night Stocking: French Lavender petite candle + Lavender or Wash Away My Sins tea light + bath salts and a silk sleep mask.
Perfume Lover Stocking: Amber Santal or Velvet Goddess petite candle + tea lights in another gourmand/floral scent + a small perfume sample or lipstick.
For Him Stocking: Palo Santo or Smokin’ Cowboy petite candle + a matching tea light + his favorite coffee or whiskey mini.

Because all Bia candles are vegan, cruelty-free, made with a premium soy wax blend, and hand-wrapped, you don’t have to worry about repackaging—everything is already stocking-ready.
