Orange pillar candles are a sophisticated compliment to your Halloween decor. Dress your pillar candles up with props from your local craft store for extra pizzaz (this fine faux owl is an excellent choice.)

Happy Valentine’s!

We are closing out our wrought iron stands and while the supply lasts you can get a free stand to go with your candle. The qualifying sizes of candles are 7″ square and round, 8″ square and round, 10″ square and round. If you place an order for any one of those size candles in any height  from 7 1/2″ or taller we have listed on the website you’ll receive a free stand in either double or single scroll design and in either black or rust color.

Don’t wait, we are already out of the 8″ double scroll round rust color stands and have between 2 and 20 left of each of the other sizes so they won’t last long. This is a great chance to get a super high quality wrought iron stand worth $47 to $52 for free.

When placing your order our shopping cart system will not deduct the stand online but please rest assured when we process your order, which we do manually, we will deduct the price of the stand from the total bringing the price down $47 or $52 depending of which stand you have ordered with your candle. The invoice you receive with your order will show the correct amount.

If you select a stand that we are out of we will substitute the closest stand we have in stock. Once these are gone they are gone forever.

Thinking of what to buy your sweetheart this Valentine’s day? With Valentine’s Day just around the corner why not try a fun, exotic or romantic pillar candle. You get to choose the size, shape, and scent for your Valentine. We have many romantic scents to choose from. Here are few suggested scents to choose from to make it easier for you. If you don’t see one you like then be sure to check out our extensive list of scents.

Maybe “Lick Me All Over”? Or for the true romantic at heart “Forget Me Not”? There is also Wine & Roses, Ylang Ylang, Sea Breeze, Hawaiian Lei, Midnight Rose, Romance, and Exotica for the truly bold! If you want something funny consider “Butt Naked”. And yes, there really is such a scent! We have not made a candle with this scent as yet, will you be the one in the million to give it a try?

For more traditional choices you may want to consider Champagne, Egyptian Musk, Chocolate or Patchouli, or Helitrope (which means devotion and faithfulness). Or you may want to consider one of the Designer Scents that your sweetheart wears like Armani Gio, Abercrombie & Fitch for Men or Women, Beautiful, or Calvin Klein’s Escape Type for the truly romantic women in your life.

For color you can choose a traditional Valentine color like red, cinnamon red, or ruby red. Other romantic colors to choose from would be lavender, orchid, purple, burgundy, fuchsia, or pink. Or you can choose your Valentine’s favorite color or a color that suits the home or particular room in which you think the recipient will wish to place the candle. Whatever you choose, your sweetheart will love his or hers custom candle and be able to enjoy it much longer than a dozen roses or a box of chocolates!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

This Christmas I gave candle snuffers to my family and friends packaged with a custom holiday pillar candle. Do you have a candle snuffer but never remember to use it? Do you think like I did, that it isn’t really something you need to have? It’s important to know that a candle snuffer will help you to safely extinguish the flame on your candles as well as help to prevent the candle’s wick from drifting into the wax. You should never blow out your pillar candles or pinch them with your fingers because wax can splash and become uneven around the wick. And more importantly, you can burn yourself this way. That’s why it is so important to know the safe way to extinguish your candles.
For more candle safety please check out this helpful link that the National Candle Association has put together. Everyone needs to read these safety tips and practice these important safety rules. So go to http://www.candles.org/safety_rules.html today! Start the New Year off right by making sure that you and your loved ones know all the latest about candle safety.

Tired of the traditional Christmas candle colors? Would you like to try something new this year but not sure what is appropriate? Historically, the traditional Christmas candle colors have always been red and green. This tradition was started in the 14th Century and became popular all over America and these colors have represented Christmas ever since.
But if plain red and green candles just don’t suit you or your decor and you would like a change, then why not get creative with some new interesting color combination? How about a display of Hunter Green and Burgundy holiday pillar candles? Or how about White and Teal pillar candles for a new twist in celebrating the winter holidays? Cranberry, Bayberry, Sage Green, Forrest Green, and even Purple make wonderful festive holiday pillars. Of course we carry the traditional colors too. Like Christmas Green, Red, Cinnamon Red, and Ruby Red. Whatever you decide, make it your own! If you need any help, give us a call or email us today. We are here to help you make this holiday season the best ever!!
