Great Gifts: Homemade Candles

Remember when you give homemade candles you're giving warmth, coziness, relaxation, etc...

So here are some ideas for creating packages that will showcase your homemade candles.

Know a New Mom? She could probably use a gift of relaxation. Recipe... A couple of your homemade votive candles, bubble bath and a CD/MP3 of her favorite artist...

Know someone who just purchased a home? They could use coziness. Recipe... Your homemade candles in a tin are perfect. Give them a variety of colors (or in their colors if you know them) throw in some gourmet coffee or tea and a couple of mugs...

Know someone getting married? They'll want romance. Recipe... A collection of different size pillars all in white set on a cut glass plate or a mirror.

Invited to dinner at someones house? Need a host/hostess gift? Elegance might be a wise choice. Recipe... A couple of your homemade tapers tucked into a wine gift bag, add the wine if appropriate. (Just remember it is a gift for the host/hostess. Don't expect him/her to open it for dinner. Bring another bottle for that.)

Gotta friend having a Birthday? Recipe... Bring them some cupcakes with homemade tea lights on top.

Maybe a friend is having a bad day and needing a little cheering up? They could probably use a little Calm. Recipe... Using a terracotta plant tray add some white sand and center a homemade pillar. Add some tea lights and/or votive candles around the pillar for a candle garden look.

When you think of giving your homemade candles as gifts, remember what you're giving. Think about the emotions, ambiance and mood that candles and candlelight can create. Build your gift around the emotion. Wrap it up with ribbons and bows in colors and themes that match.

As you are making your homemade candles think about the receiver. Say a little prayer for them. Think of what a pleasure it is to call them friend and family.
