Candles and Scents That Are Perfect For Gifts and For You!

The name candle comes from the Latin 'candere' meaning "to shine." Candles have been used since Biblical times as a source of light into the early 1900's and as a decorative piece and religious symbol since then. We use them for decor and we use them for their aromas. They have become a very popular gift item. When in doubt about what to give as a gift, give the gift of light and warmth. These gifts never fail to put a smile on someone's face. They come in all shapes,sizes and colors. They are used to set the mood of a room. Candlelight brings a certain ambiance to any room and can be used to illuminate the dark spaces in any room. Use a grouping of pillars of varying heights on a tray filled with sand, rocks, glass beads, shells, whatever fits your decor. Sconces are still popular and can be used to brighten any space. They can be used to light up the path to your home, in entryways to extend a warm welcome with it's warm glow, on the dining table to encourage calm and intimate conversation, in the bathroom to bring a sense of relaxation to the environment and in the bedroom to evoke a sense of wellbeing and rest. Candles can be used inside and outside and in any season.

Seasonal Candles

Spring: pair pastel colored tapers with spring blooms such as daffodils or crocus.

Summer: Place pillars in clay pots filled half full with sand and place around perimeter of the patio or deck.

Fall: Use candles in a centerpiece of fall leaves, nuts, berries or surround with pine cones. Use a basket or fall colored plate for the display.
