Even though Gwyneth Paltrow is known for her influence in the wellness industry, she’s also unintentionally (or intentionally?) a decor authority, too. So, when Paltrow recently dropped her favorite home finds that she’s gifting this holiday season — even though they’re a bit more expensive — I was all ears. Spoiler: It’s the perfect gift for the candle-loving folks in your life.
“The holidays can feel like a lot, so I’ve been gathering the gifts I’m giving this year, if you need ideas,” Paltrow wrote in a recent Instagram caption. “Before those, here’s my own wish list — things I love or have been quietly eyeing. More to come …”
Among a handful of fashion items, wellness finds, and home decor, Paltrow included a Flamingo Estate candle. The scent is one that you won’t find anywhere else.

The Green Goddess scent started as a “nod to Pesto,” per Flamingo Estate’s website. It’s packed with notes of basil, mint, pea tendrils, and ginger, creating a scent that’s “radiant, herbaceous, and wildly ripening, steeped in dappled sunlight and made for every corner of the home (yes, even the kitchen).” It’s calming, meditative, and will make any space feel brighter.
“Anything from Flamingo Estate is always a great gift,” Paltrow wrote in her Instagram post.
If the $64 price tag is a bit too jarring, check out this delightful alternative from Quince. It also has an herbaceous, basil-forward scent, paired with citrus, bergamot, and vetiver, giving it a fresh, clean, and grounding feel.
Whether you want to pick up something special for the candle lover on your list or want to treat someone special with a touch of luxury, this Gwyneth Paltrow-approved Flamingo Estate candle would be a gift anyone would covet (and it’s also a fantastic find to put on your wish list, too!).
