Why scented candles make perfect gift for mothers
Scented candles are a relaxing treat
There are two very appealing words here for Mums with young families: relaxing, and treat! There’s nothing like an unwinding bath with a scented candle, a book, maybe even a glass of something chilled… Try nature’s favourite relaxing fragrance. There’s a scented candle to suit every Mum.
A note to partners or older children who are thinking of buying Mum a relaxing scented candle: make sure she gets time to use it! Every candle should come with an IOU for a couple of hours of “me time” for mum.
Cradle & tonic candles are made from natural ingredients
We wrote just last month about the wonders of natural soy wax, a biodegradable and clean-burning alternative to paraffin wax. Into this, we add fine quality oils, chosen for their heavenly scents and natural uplifting and relaxing qualities. Choose from soothing scents or energising aromas, depending on what Mum’s favourite fragrances are.
If you’re buying a scented candle as a gift for a Mum-to-be, soy wax is a much better alternative to paraffin.
They last longer than flowers
Flowers are a lovely gift, but as we all know, they don’t last for long. Our candles have a burn time of approximately 40 hours; so even if Mum lights it for a couple of hours every evening, that’s still a longer-lasting gift than most bouquets.
Because we use quality oils to scent our candles, they have a good “scent throw”, which is the candle-maker’s way of saying their fragrance fills the room even when they’re not lit. When the forty hours is finally up, the empty jars make great posy vases, pen or trinket holders or mini plant pots. Or, simply pop the jar in a drawer to give your laundry a lovely fresh scent.
The whole family will enjoy them
That lovely, far-reaching scent will give your home a gorgeous ambience, which everyone will appreciate. Use your scented candle to create a gently fragranced zone, safe from the aromas of football boots, wet pets and lingering cooking smells. Unlike a personal gift (such as bath products or clothing), everyone can enjoy the new scented candle.
If anyone in your family has hayfever, a flower-scented candle is a great way of introducing a natural floral scent to your home without them having to suffer. Our natural soy wax, cotton wicks and oil fragrances are non-toxic for children and pets (just pop them up out of reach of busy hands and wagging tails).
They’re beautifully packaged – and easy to wrap!
Our elegant indigo and copper packaging mean that your present will arrive looking perfect. Plus, as we all know, a box is a super-easy shape to wrap; even if your little one insists on wrapping Mummy’s present themselves, it will all go smoothly! Check out here.
