How often does the occasion arise and you are thrown into turmoil, you do not know what to buy for your friends' birthday; or for the bridal party on your wedding day?

You know candles have been a part of our history for over 2,000 years. No matter what country you live in, candles will be used albeit for many different reasons and they will be made of many different compositions.

Many articles have been written on the benefits of natural waxes over petroleum waxes, and with a culture developing and growing stronger worldwide of environmental protection, the use of natural waxes can only escalate.

The introduction of natural waxes has permitted many more people to rekindle a love of the ambience that candle light can provide. For many years candles were treated with little respect by many and brought out of the cupboard only when an urgent need arose to cast some emergency light, such was the case during my younger years. The failure of our electricity supply forced the use of candles, usually in the middle of preparing for an end of term exam.

Candles are like money, not exactly in the equivalent value, but in the fact that they are universal to every country. I have traveled extensively and I am always amazed at the creative methods I have witnessed in many countries for the use and decoration of candles.

The increased degree of safety in using natural wax candles has made them the perfect gift for the majority of occasions.

There is available documentation regarding the non-toxicity of candles made from soy wax as well as these candles having a longer burn time and being soot free. One of the greatest benefits is the reduced risk of wax burns created by spilling the wax from a lighted candle, the wax from soy wax candles can in fact be used effectively as a warm massage.

Candle light can aid in producing a therapeutic effect, used in conjunction with essential oils they create mood enhancing qualities as well as creating a pleasant ambience to any environment.

Innovation and creativity seen in many of the candle's that are now available make candles the perfect gift, remember them when you are next confronted with the "what will I buy dilemma".
