Candles as Gifts
Candles make great gifts for any occasion, weddings, baby showers, bridal showers, house warming presents and hostess gifts. There is not an occasion in which a candle is not appropriate as a beautiful gift. Some say a candle is a gift of renewal, the flame is for peace and tranquility and when you give this to someone, it is a wonderful gift to give them.

When giving candles for a wedding present, it would be a good idea to find out what the color scheme of the bride and grooms house or apartment or living area is. This way you don’t have to resort to all white candles, you can mix them up with beautiful colors of different shades. Say their new living room is going to be blue – you found this out at the store where they are registered. They may have registered for candles as well and this will help you in choosing just the right candles because they choose them first so it’s a matter of picking them up and paying for them, not having to choose. However, if the couple did not register for candles, yet you know that there living room is going to be a blue, you can pick out several different sizes and styles of blue candles along with a few holders in white and perhaps off white to accent the blue candles or one could go with white candles and different color blue holders. The choice is up to you and the bride and groom will appreciate such a thoughtful gift.
Everyone likes candles, especially young people such as someone moving to their first apartment or dorm. Giving them the flameless candles would be a great idea because they are exactly like regular candles except for the flame. Younger people are more prone to light a candle and forget about it then any other group of people so a gift of the flameless candles is a gift of safety.
Small tea lights are a great gift for someone who doesn’t have a lot of room and you could add in several very decorative votive cups to hold the tea lights in. votive candles are another small gift which is appreciated because they are functional, they offer light when the electricity might go out in a rain storm and they help to decorate the house. A wall hanging with votive cups through out it is a very unique idea and gift to someone who doesn’t have a lot of room and likes to decorate with votive candles.
Decorative cutout candle holders make lovely hostess gifts when you go to someone’s house over the holidays instead of a bottle of wine – which everyone usually brings. A candle and a decorative candle holder is a more personal gift for the hostess who’s worked all day for the dinner party or holiday party.
Small votive candles and decorative votive jars are great gifts for the children’s teachers or for a co-worker who you eat lunch with everyday. They are just the right size to say thank you, I was thinking about you, or get well soon.
