Let’s face it, going out for dinner on Valentine’s Day can be both expensive and a headache. Most nice restaurants require reservations made weeks in advance and often offer only pre-fixed dinners at exorbitant prices. This year instead of spending lots of money at an over crowded restaurant and driving yourself crazy trying to find a restaurant that has an opening, why not treat your Valentine to a romantic evening at home! Your sweetheart will appreciate all your efforts and with all the money you will be saving, you can splurge on custom candles to enhance the mood for your special Valentine!

First you will need to set the mood for your romantic evening at home. Candles are an easy way to create romance. Here are just a few of the candles that you should consider for creating a romantic atmosphere. Start with tall dinner candles for your table. A set of 4” X 10” pillar candles are perfect for any table. Choose either pink or red tones for a more traditional Valentine centerpiece or you can go with lavender, orchid, or purple that will surely add passion to any Valentine dinner!

To add further drama for your cozy, and intimate dinner why not surprise your Valentine with a custom fireplace candle? A sure way to add romance to your special evening. We offer two different sizes in four different heights. Or you can design your own. You can put 3 or 4 large square custom candles or make your own arrangement. The benefit to our fireplace candles created by GiantCandleCo.com is that they last a very long time. They can burn for many, many hours. No need to worry about them melting and creating a horrible mess all over your fireplace (my husband and I just replaced our fireplace candle that we had for over a year and a half ). The two of you will be able to enjoy your fireplace candle for many more romantic evenings to come! We offer our customers 53 colors to choose from, as well as over 400 scents. In a previous post I gave a list of some suggested scents perfect for Valentine’s Day. Scents like “Forget Me Not”, Wine & Roses, Romance, Exotica , Champagne, Egyptian Musk, Chocolate or Patchouli, or Helitrope (which means devotion and faithfulness) all are great mood enhancers. Also popular are the Designer Scents. You can select either a scent that you or your sweetheart wears. Whatever you choose, your Valentine will think of you every time he or she lights their custom candles!

Last, but not least, after dinner surprise your Valentine with a special bubble bath! As your Valentine is sipping the last of his or her champagne, sneak into the bathroom and start the bubble bath. For added romance light candles instead of turning on the lights! I have a small little table besides the tub with a 5” x 5” square gold candle scented with Sage & Chamomile set on it. It’s perfect beside the bath because it won’t fall over easily and helps me relax after a long day of running my little one here and there! Remember to order a set of our 4” X 5” round pillar candles. Set them on coasters and spread them around the tub and bathroom for an extra special touch. We hope that our suggestions and our custom candles will help you to create the perfect romantic Valentine’s Day evening!

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!
