When making a gel candle you should choose items that appeal to your senses.  Fragrance oil is important, make sure you purchase a candle fragrance that can withstand the heat you’ll be using.  You’ll also want to chose a color that goes with the fragrance you’ve chosen.  Since the gel you use when making gel candles is transparent you don’t have to add color.  Then pick your embeds or embellishments.  You may pick items that show your team spirit, favorite season, or holiday.  Or maybe you want to pick a wax fruit or shells.  The best thing about gel candles is you can make it however you prefer.  The bubbles in the gel glisten as well, you may not even want to add anything to the gel.  It is your choice.
