Blending Your Own Scents With Candle Tarts

Tired of the same old scents from your candle tarts? Try blending scents together to create your own new fragrances. Because you can fit a few small candle tarts in a tart warmer at the same time try mixing two scents together, such as strawberry and a lemon scents for a strawberry lemonade fragrance. Another one to try is blending cinnamon with an orange scent or a coconut with a pineapple or lime fragrance. The possibilities really are endless. For a harmonious blend try keeping blended scents in the same scent family. Floral scents usually go well with other floral scents and fruit or food fragrances usually blend well. Two strong scents may end up battle it out instead of blending so some experimentation may be required. Don't forget to write down which candle tarts you put into your tart warmer so that if you like it you'll be able to duplicate it.

A Candle Gift Idea For The Candle Lover

Do you know someone who just can't get enough candles? Many candle companies have the ultimate gift idea for just such people. It's called a candle of the month club membership and it's the candle gift that keeps on giving. Signing up someone you love, or even yourself, into a candle of the month club will ensure that you always have a supply of candles coming in during your membership. Each month a new shipment of candles will come straight to the recipient's door. Each month will be a new candle scent so the recipient gets to experience new fragrances they might otherwise not have tried. This candle gift idea is great for those that burn candles on a very regular basis. Do your homework to see which company offers the candle of the month club that will suit your needs best. Some send only candles, some send candles and a candle holder each month. If you or your recipient only burns votives or pillars look for clubs that offer these types of candles exclusively. Then the only other decision to make is how long you want to enroll your loved one into the club. Most companies offer a three, six, nine or twelve month membership. So if you're looking for a candle gift idea for the candle lover you know, consider a candle of the month club membership.

Add A Personal Touch With A Custom Candle Gift Set

Getting personal is the key to great gift giving. Show you care by giving a custom made, personalized candle gift set for any occasion. For that special someone, or a dear friend, a personalized candle gift set with an engraved candle holder will remind them of you for years to come. The candle can come wrapped with a custom message just from you and the candle holder can be engraved with the same message or a completely different one. For those who like to give thank you gifts to their clients, try gifting your valued customers with a custom candle gift set. Your customers will be touched by your thoughtfulness, and the gift can contain your name and contact information on it for future use. A gift like this will make a bigger impact, and likely get more repeat business, than a simple business card or flowers. If you have someone on your gift list that loves to be pampered, indulge them with a custom bath and candle gift set that contains both scented candles and soothing bath products. Many companies will let you choose your candles, type of soap and other bath goodies to create a gift set just for your recipient.

Custom Candles: Printed Candles

Candles can be customized in many ways. Sometimes it's the scent and color combination or the size of the candles that matter. Some custom candles are printed with a message or a favorite photo. For businesses, organizations, or just to make a special occasion have custom candles printed with either your business logo or your special message. A candle with your business name and/or logo on it will hold a lasting impression with customers. To mark a special occasion like an anniversary, birthday or retirement have a special message placed on a candle to commemorate the date. For the ultimate in personalized custom candles there are companies that will allow you to email in any picture and have it transferred to a pillar candle. This is perfect for weddings, for a special friend or even just to have a picture of your favorite pet on a candle. A custom photo candle with a baby's first picture on it makes a great gift for grandparents, aunts and uncles. Just be sure when ordering this type of candle to allow time for production. Custom candles always take longer to create than ordinary candles.

Choosing A Decorative Candle Tart Mold

When making candle tarts there are a wide range of candle tart molds to choose from. Some are very basic cube shapes but for those who like to do things with flair there are many more decorative options to choose from. Round molds with scalloped edges make the candle tarts look like little flowers when finished and are very easy to find. Delicate mini heart or leaf molds are available. The heart ones are perfect to scent with cinnamon for cinnamon heart tarts or a soft, romantic scent for Valentine's Day or a romantic evening. A small, round candle tart mold would be perfect for making chocolate truffle tarts. Use chocolate truffle fragrance oil and color the tarts a dark brown to make them look like truffles. Then place them in a small box and either keep them all to yourself or give as a gift. Just remember to let them know those little treats are for melting, not eating.

A Ceremony With The Wedding Unity Candle

The wedding unity candle ceremony involves three candles, two small candles on either side of one large candle. The symbolism of this ceremony involves two separate lit candles, which are the lives of the bride and groom. From each candle the bride and groom take the flame and, together, light the middle candle to symbolize the joining of their lives. Unity candles are available in a large variety of styles, from plain to very elaborate. For those who love details, try a set of unity candles with Calla Lilies or Roses sculpted on the surface. These candles are usually more expensive than the simpler ones but do add a beautiful touch to the wedding unity candle ceremony. If your wedding is a themed wedding check to see if a wedding unity candle is available in your theme. For a beach themed wedding use a wedding unity candle with Silver Star fish embossed on them. For a more decorative candle choose one with a lattice pearl design or delicate flowers on the surface. These wedding unity candles may cost a bit more but will be worth it for their beauty.

Choosing The Perfect Wedding Candle Accessory

Looking for a stunning wedding candle accessory? Try an intricate candelabrum as a centerpiece. With a variety of styles to choose from, you can find this type of wedding candle accessory to hold taper candles, votive candles or pillar candles. Once of these would look stunning on either the head table or with the the guest book. If you plan on having a single pillar candle as a unity candle be sure to choose the right wedding candle accessory to set it off. A raised pillar candle holder in either gold or silver will look much better than a pillar sitting on a table by itself. For unity candle sets, where there is a pillar candle flanked by two taper candles, the perfect wedding candle accessory is a candle holder which holds all three candles together in one unit.

Breathing Easy With An Electric Fragrance Device

Traditionally, people turn to candles in order to enjoy a delicious scent in their homes, but what about those that can't burn candles? An electric fragrance device might be the answer for those who, due to breathing problems such as asthma, might not be able to enjoy a scented candle. For those with asthma, anything that puts even small amounts of impurities in the air might trigger an attack. Since some candles do put small amounts of soot and other elements into the air, a cleaner, electric fragrance device could be an excellent alternative to scenting a home without worrying about causing those with asthma to suffer. Strong scents can sometimes irritate the respiratory tract of those who have severe allergies. Since some electric fragrance devices allow you to control how much scent is released a setting on low may allow for a light fragrance in the air without overpowering those who have scent related allergies.
