The first item you will need is the basket. Consider the recipient of the present when choosing the right container. You may find something that matches her decor or you may know that she will use the basket for other things like holding towels or kitchen accessories at a later date. When creating candle gift baskets there is more to consider than just candles.
Candle Gift Baskets
After choosing the right container for the job you want to pick the fragrance, or lack of fragrance for your candle gift basket. I know that some of my friends are sensitive to strong scents. Others spend a lot of money on air fresheners and additional scents can be overwhelming in their homes.
Just because the recipients are not really interested in scents to fill their homes does not mean that they wouldn’t like candle gift baskets. You just need to choose unscented or lightly scented wax for the project. Everyone loves the natural glow of a flame. Not everyone appreciates a lot of fragrance.
You also want to consider a theme for your candle gift baskets. Unscented candles are perfect for dinners by candlelight. You can arrange the project with candlesticks, wine glasses, wine, cheese, a cheese cutter and a serving plate. This lovely present will be appreciated as a well thought out gesture.
People who love a lot of fragrance are perfect recipients for candle gift baskets. In fact, I make several of them for my sister-in-law who can’t seem to get enough of them. The first one I made had a harvest theme. I presented it to her around Thanksgiving. This present was filled with candles that had pumpkin, apple and spice scents. I also included a cute scarecrow and pumpkin candle holders.
On her birthday, I created one of my favorite candle gift baskets. This one had a spa theme. I included bath oils, salts and other bath accessories like a terrycloth robe and of course, scented candles that had a relaxing aroma. She loves to settle in the bath with her kit for a relaxing get-away.
There are countless themes that you can incorporate into these crafty gifts. Just use a little imagination and the candle gift baskets will practically build themselves for you.
