Miscellaneous

There are plenty of fabulous scented candles that I can review, but I think it's just as important to mention the unscented ones. I really respect a candle company that gives consumers a truly wide array of choices. There are plenty of people with allergies that cannot handle fragrances and then there are people who simply do not wish to have scented candles, period. I personally detest it when I'm in someone's kitchen or dining room and they are serving food while burning a scented candle. (That's a big no-no because the usually delightful aroma of WoodWick's Rum Raisin instantly becomes abhorrent as it puts me completely off the pizza I'm being served.) Both Beanpod and WoodWick have really nice unscented candles in jar form, with Tag offering them in pillar sizes. I like that there's more options than just the usual taper or tea light candles. (btw, Colonial Candle has unscented tapers that come in a wide array of brilliant colors.)

And finally, I have to mention the Flameless from Candle Impressions. I like them because they have timers and actually flicker like a burning pillar candle. My brothers have them all over their house and also, my grandmother enjoys the look of a real candle without the fear of forgetting to blow it out come the end of the night.

Just some thoughts and options to keep in mind with the approaching holidays. Thanks for reading and check back soon!
