When you purchase candles it is important to think about many different things, especially if the candles are going to be gifts for Christmas. These simple tips should help you make a good decision on the type and quality of a candle before you select it as a gift for that person that means something special to you.
1. Quality candles have a lot of ingredients combined to make them worth spending the money. A very good quality candle will have a combination of things like wax, fragrance, and a good wick. Always look at the ingredients of a candle before you make the purchase. You don’t want to buy a candle and find that it was made with poor ingredients like soy and it almost melted while sitting under the prelit Christmas trees. This would be embarrassing when the recipient opens the gift.
2. Wax is the fuel that provides the longevity of a candle to burn. Candles are usually made from things like paraffin, soy, palm wax, beeswax, or even a transparent gel. Some candles are made with a combination of all of these ingredients. These different waxes don’t burn at the same rate. For example, a soy candle will lose its shape quickly and easily when it is burning. The only types of soy candles that are safe to put under the prelit Christmas trees are the ones in the glass jars. This way if the lights on the tree burn hot they will not melt the candles. Paraffin pillar candles are the best candles that will retain their shape and stay solid because they will burn direct down to the center of the candle.
3. The most important thing on a candle is the wick. The wick is the device responsible for transferring the melted wax up to the flame, which is what keeps the candle burning. The best wicks on a candle are the braided wicks. They are the safest wicks and they take longer to burn. The metal or lead wicks put off fumes in the air because you are burning lead. This can be harmful to your health also. Lead wicks are the ones that smell really bad when you put out the candle. When you are burning candles because your artificial Christmas trees don’t have a smell you don’t want to ruin the aroma.
4. The scents in a candle are another factor when you buy candles. The two primary ways to put scents in a candle are through synthetic fragrances and by the use of natural essential oils. The essential oils are the most expensive but they are the best.
If you are buying candles as Christmas gifts it is important to consider a few things. You want to put some thought into the gift you buy for the person. When you take into consideration the ingredients of a candle you also ensure the longevity of the candle too. You want to pick the right candle and be sure it won’t melt under any prelit Christmas trees. This would be devastating to you and the person who receives the gift.
