Ever had that disappointing feeling when you thought you’d discovered a fabulous brand that you could proudly share with everyone…then found out everyone already knew about it? This happened to us last week after we attended the press day over at Village Press. We were so smitten with the romantic aroma from the candles that greeted us upon arrival that we immediately did some more digging about Tocca upon return. Only to discover that we really should have heard about them earlier being that they’ve been around since 1994 and have a clothing collection that’s been worn by two of our favourite models, Christy Turlington and Naomi Campbell.

Either way, we can’t stop gushing about their candles and even more so about their flirtatious fragrance, Stella. For that reason Tocca are first up in our holiday gift guide. We recommend treating a loved one to the Candele da Viaggio Holiday Box, $48 or the Stella Eau de Parfum, $68…or why not both! Available at Tocca.com
