Tips When Preparing Your Aromatherapy Candles Gift
Aromatherapy candles make great gifts to anyone on your list. You can give them away in a basket filled with other goodies, such as some body lotions, and the recipient will be thrilled that you not only took the time to do something like that yourself, but will also be pleased with all of treats in the basket. It is a gift fit for a wedding shower, bridal shower and birthday, or as a housewarming present. Even men can appreciate a sweet smelling house that soothes them after a long day at the office.
Do not make the mistake of making aromatherapy candles with the wrong type of essential oil. The concentration level of the oil will differ depending on the intended use. The oil used for candles is not the same strength as the one used in body lotions. Be careful when it comes time to make, buy or use an aromatherapy candle. You want to create a pleasant mood.
An aromatherapy candle makes a great centerpiece for a basket. You can take a decorative basket and fill it with paper tissue colored especially for whatever occasion you are celebrating. Place an aromatherapy candle in the center. As great additions, you can include aromatherapy essential oils for fragrance burners in the same scent as the candle, or choose another one, as well as some body lotions in different fragrances. If the recipient is crafty, then aromatherapy books explaining how to make their own massage oils might be a good choice.
Okay, so a basket filled with rose candles and rose scented body lotions is not going to go over very well with a man, but that does not mean that there aren’t other scents that will work. You could try sandalwood or neroli for a soothing scent that will appease the male machismo. Vanilla is a common scent for candles and is neutral enough to be used in a man’s home. Of course you may want to skip the body lotions in case he gets offended. However, most men would love a body massage, so perhaps tucking a gift certificate into the basket for massage services would be appreciated.
Aromatherapy candles will be an overwhelming success when given as a gift. There are more uses for aromatherapy essential oils than just in candles. You can also include a bag of aromatic tea, handmade soaps, and even tasty goodies to help them unwind after a long day at the office. Wrap up the basket in some colorful wrap and you have a gift that can be given to anyone.
