Everything is organized by budget and gifting style, from stocking stuffers under $15 to candle flights with serious unboxing energy.

Under $15: Stocking Stuffers & Small Surprises
1. Oops Candle Blind Box
A little mystery for the gift-giver who likes surprises. These are real AsianBobaGirl candles whose color or frosting didn't come out picture-perfect, so they smell just as good at a friendlier price. Great for a gift exchange or a stocking.
2. Lychee Jelly Wax Melt
A crowd favorite inspired by the lychee jelly cups from the Asian grocery store. Scoopable wax melts are a great gift for anyone with a wax warmer, or for friends in dorms and apartments where open flames aren't allowed.
3. Brown Sugar Boba Wax Melt
Caramelized brown sugar and milk tea notes for the friend who always orders the tiger sugar drink.

5. Taro Car Freshener
Made with the same taro fragrance recipe as our Taro Boba candle, so their car smells like their favorite drink.
6. Strawberry Boba Soap
A cute, practical little gift for the strawberry milk tea fan.

7. Lychee Jelly Boba Straw Candle
Our signature gift. It looks like a real cup of bubble tea, straw and all, and smells like childhood summers eating lychee jelly cups. If you only buy one thing from this list, make it a straw candle.

For the taro loyalist: sweet, nutty taro milk tea with hints of condensed milk and roasted vanilla, in our boba straw design.

How to Pick the Right Boba Gift
- Match their order. If you know their go-to drink (taro, brown sugar, Thai tea, lychee), pick that scent. Browse by flavor in our Taro, Brown Sugar Boba and Lychee Jelly collections.
- Not sure? Go with a sampler. The candle bundle boxes let them try several scents.
- No open flames allowed? Choose wax melts, room sprays or car fresheners.
- Want the wow factor? The boba straw candles look like a real cup of bubble tea.
Boba Gift FAQ
What is a good gift for someone who loves boba?
Boba-scented home goods are a fun pick because they are something boba lovers do not usually buy for themselves. A boba straw candle in their favorite flavor is our top recommendation, and a candle sampler box works if you do not know their order.
What are good boba gifts under $15?
Wax melts, car fresheners, the Oops Candle Blind Box and our Strawberry Boba Soap all come in under $15, which makes them good stocking stuffers and gift exchange picks.
What if they do not burn candles?
Try a room spray, wax melts for a wax warmer, a car freshener, or one of our snack-inspired plushies and totes.
When in doubt, match the gift to their usual order. It is the fastest route from “cute” to “How did you know?”
