The next time you are wracking your brain for gift ideas why don’t you try this? Take
a lovely wicker basket and place aromatherapy candles in it and give it away with some other nice trinkets and body lotions. It is a great gift for anyone at work. It is great for all the ladies you know because women love nicely scented candles and lotions. It also makes a nice gift for a guy who wants his home or office to smell relaxing and tranquil.
Aromatherapy candles are made of wax and essential oils. It is not quite the same essential oil that is used in body lotions, because it is a much stronger concentration. If you were to use candle aromatherapy essential oils on your skin, then you may find it to be quite irritating. The concentration of oils has to be stronger when it is used as a fragrance for candles because the scent will be diluted with the wax, and will be burned. The result is a fantastic smelling house.
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.
Your aromatherapy candles will be a huge hit with anyone lucky enough to receive the gift from you. It does not have to stop at the candles though. You can add in other products that contain aromatherapy essential oils. Why not throw in some handmade home diffusers you found in a local craft store? You can include a bottle of the essential oil as a way to help add another layer of fragrance to the home. Regardless of what you choose, your basket will no doubt be talked about for quite some time.
