Best Bet: Good Scents

The impending holiday means you’re likely to max out your credit cards in your rush to find the perfect gift. But instead of just giving a present to your pal, why not buy one that also gives to a cause? Temperley London’s Amnesty International Candle donates all proceeds to the charity, so you can feel good about shelling out $45 for it. And the scent is deliciously perfumed, with notes of black currant, rose, and frangipani. That warm feeling you have? That’s called the spirit of the season. Welcome.

Amnesty International Candle, $45 at Temperley London, 453 Broome St.,at Mercer St., 212-219-2929, and TemperleyLondon.com
