I love
to burn candles especially at Christmas time so candles are usually something I
give as gifts. Last year I found some
wonderful candles at the dollar store. I
am hoping to have the same luck this year too.
Sometimes
inexpensive or discount candles aren't very good. Either the fragrance isn't really fragrant or
they won't burn right because the wick isn't inserted straight up and down or
the wax burns too hot and the wick lays over and then gets buried. To make sure I buy a couple to try out and if
they are good then I go back and get more.
I find
that vanilla scented candles are a good safe bet, unless I know for sure that
someone enjoys a particular scent like cinnamon. I myself can't burn cinnamon candles because
it bothers the inside of my nose and makes it sting so I like to be sure before
I buy someone a strongly scented candle.
I will
usually tie a pretty ribbon around the glass jar the candle comes in to dress
it up a little. I saw on Pinterest once
that someone had added some artificial holly leaves and berries which looked
really nice. I may have to try that
sometime.
Do you
enjoy candles at the holidays? Do you
give them as gifts?
