A scented candle tin makes a good gift for a number of reasons. A scented candle in a tin can of course still be used to give light as candles have done for centuries. But they offer so much more than that..

 

It is an interesting alternative to a normal scented candle, and is of particular interest to many because nobody knows what it is until the lid is opened and they see the candle.Most small candles in a tin have a single wick, but you will find larger ones which may have up to three..

 

A candle in a tin is an ideal means of masking pet smells and also to provide a pleasant environment when visitors are invited for a dinner party or some other get-together.This is never more so than in the case of a cigarette or pipe smoker when a fragrant scented candle in a tin can help mask or eliminate the unpleasant odour of tobacco smoke. Thus, a scented candle becomes not merely decorative.

 

Lavender, for example, is well known for its soothing properties, and its ability to help you relax and sleep well at night. Recognised for it’s uplifting, invigorating properties, a mint scented candle may be useful to give you a boost when you most need it.. You shouldn’t need one though if you have burned the lavender candle at bedtime. If you are feeling a bit depressed then it’s amazing how burning a candle containing the essential oils from grapefruit or roses can help you to feel more like yourself.

 

You can get all of this and more from scented candles and offering one as a gift to a friend or relative indicates that you care for them. Take some time to choose a suitable fragrance, then why not leave a brief explanatory note detailing the properties of the particular aroma or the most appropriate circumstances in which to use the candle.. A gift indicating that you are thinking of the recipient when you choose it is the best type of gift that somebody can be given.

 

That is the personal reason for offering a scented candle tin as a gift, but there are also practical aspects of giving a candle packaged in this way. Candles in tins can be burned just as easily as other candles, whether they are large candles in candlesticks or small votive candles in candle trees.  One of these ways of using candles is in outdoor use.

 

Let’s say you are having a barbecue or a party on your patio. Many people use garden and patio lights in addition to the normal house lighting coming through the windows, but ordinary candles rarely last long because they are impractical: the first gust of wind and they are blown out.A scented candle contained in a tin is simpler to use, in that the lid of the tin can be utilised to protect the flame from draughts..

 

Most candles in tins are hinged, so that you can have the lid open and situated in a position whereby it will protect the candle from being blown out by the prevailing winds. There is little that can be done if it is blowing a gale, but at least you can prevent the candle being blown out time after time. You can’t do that with a regular candle.

 

Another practical benefit of a candle in a tin is that you simply close the lid to snuff out the candle. The result – no more misguided men risking a trip to Accident and Emergency as a result of burns caused trying to put out candles with their fingers instead of mundanely blowing them out? Perhaps they were useless at blowing out their birthday cake candles and it has affected them in some way! No worries – with a scented candle tin they don’t have anything to worry about. Simply close the lid!

 

Candles in tins can also be decorative, whether they are left open or closed.Indeed a scented candle in a tin can itself become a topic of discussion, provoking guesses about the tin’s contents, until the tin is opened and the contents revealed to an intrigued audience!  It’s a candle! Then all you need to do is light your candle, infusing your room with its beautiful scent. The big question is; will men use thge lid for its intended purpose in extinguishing the candle or rely instead on the old macho tradition of snuffing the candle out with their fingers? . . .
