Candle & Scents as Christmas Gifts

Candles, once thought to be only romantic in nature, are more prevalent than ever. In various shapes, sizes and scents, candles are used to set a mood as well as, illuminate a room.

In addition to candles having various colors, they also are made out of various materials. No longer is simple wax the order of the day in candle making. Candle making materials these days include soy, beeswax and even gels.

Differing waxes can prolong the candle’s burn time. As well, storing candles in a freezer also extends the burn life. This is an important element to consider when placing tapered candles on the table for a holiday dinner.

Caring for candles is typically simple. However there are those occasions when wax spills onto tables and/or table clothes requiring specialized care.

Removing Wax from Washable Fibers

Follow these steps to remove candle wax washable fibers:

  • Scrape to remove excess.
  • Place the stained area between two pieces of white blotting paper and press with a warm iron.
  • Change the paper as it absorbs the stain. This stain can easily spread, so use care while pressing.
  • After using either method, allow to dry.
  • If any trace remains, flush with a stain-removing agent, such as Afta Cleaning Fluid.
  • If any dye remains, sponge it with 1 part rubbing alcohol (do not use on acrylic or modacrylic fabric) mixed with 2 parts water.
  • Rinse well with clear water and dry.

Using Scents to Enhance Your Gift

The use of aromatherapy is prevalent in candles. Aromatherapy is the use of fragrances to alter or change a person ’s mood and subsequent behavior. The use of fragrance has been scientifically proven and has far reaching effects, but some consider the practice to be hokum. For your consideration, here is a list of aromatherapy scents and the ambiance they create:

  • Cinnamon: Aids focus and concentration.
  • Clove: Strengthens memory.
  • Eucalyptus: Promotes healing; especially good for colds or flu.
  • Lavender: Brings inner calm and peace, releases one from emotional stress.
  • Sage: Removes negative energy, powerful clearing and cleansing scent.
