## How did we choose these gifts?

We hand-picked every incense holder in this guide from the range we stock. Each one was chosen for who it suits and what it does, whether that is holding sticks, catching ash or making smoke pour down from a cone.

We also looked for a mix of kinds and budgets, so you can find a cosy mushroom holder, a meditation bowl or a spooky potion bottle without hunting through the whole shop. Each section starts with a real question, such as which holders suit meditation or altars.
