This size is small enough to be an accent candle but substantial enough to last - would make a great "just because" gift. I suggest getting this size when trying out a new scent because it's big enough to be refilled (with the same scent if you liked it or another scent if you want to switch it up) which I absolutely will be doing once I burn through this Lavender scented jar candle. I usually don't like lavender scented things but Sun Theory's aromatic blend is herbal, earthy and fresh with hints of lemon and cedarwood. You can't go wrong.
