Pura 4 Smart Fragrance Diffuser ($50)
I love a luxe candle as much as the next person, but they can't hold a flame to the convenience of the Pura 4 Smart Fragrance Diffuser. It can be programmed through an app to release a stream of fragrance at scheduled times or steadily throughout the day. It's also easy to control the intensity level, so you don't have to worry about it smelling too strong. After testing it out in my own home, it's now my go-to gift for candle-lovers. Pura also offers the Pura Mini ($35), a smaller version for more compact spaces, like a bedroom. For more details, read my Pura 4 Smart Fragrance Diffuser review.
Editor Quote: "Since our device is in our living room where my family spends the most time together, I've programmed it to diffuse a brighter, crisp scent in the mornings and a warm and soothing scent in the evenings, and then it shuts off during the day when we're all at work and school. If I'm expecting company, I'll schedule the diffuser to kick in just before they arrive so that our house smells amazing without me having to run around lighting candles. It's also a relief not to have to worry about fire hazards with my 3-year-old and 6-year-old running around — something I still get anxious about with candles.
Best of all, I can still capture the scent of some of my favorite candles with Pura's impressive selection. They have fragrances from brands like Studio McGee, Nest New York, Lafco, Brooklyn Candle Studio, and more. They even sell popular seasonal fragrances, like Thymes's bestselling Frasier Fir, which smells like a freshly cut Christmas tree." — Angela Elias, contributing shopping editor
