Of course we are referring to Christmas and with it being only a couple of months away we are starting to prepare ourselves for the busy festive season. In preparation we have been sourcing new ranges and launching some nice promotions. Although we have a great range of Christmas candle gifts we wanted to take this opportunity to introduce you to one of our partners who sell a fantastic range of unique gifts.

The company (Lovely Things) owned by a close friend of ours has literally something for everyone and you wont find gifts like these anywhere else. We believe the gifts on offer by them tie in nicely with ours and think that you could give some one the perfect Christmas.

The level of service at Lovely Things is also exceptional and they provide some expert guides on what to buy and for which occasion. Just check out their blog for the latest tips. The products (jewellery gifts, baby gifts, wedding anniversary gifts, etc) they have in their collection is also a great talking point as many of the thing they have wont be found anywhere else. If you are looking for something remarkable and completely unique then you will want to check out Lovely Things.co.uk

At Candles To You we operate and delivery products within the UK however as we develop our brand further and engage with the candle community more and more we feel it’s important to share information and resources with people across the world. Recently we have been in contact with a great company based in the USA.

Universol Aromas Soy Candle Co. are a company that specialise in soy candles and produce and manufacture the candles themselves over in the United States of America. The company based in Washington is also proud of its close connections with various charities and works hard to promote environmentally friendly methods. We are particularly excited about this company as they also engage heavily with the candle community and have a great blog.

We hope to work with them closely in the future and would suggest that you guys take a look at their site. They have some really interesting products.

This week we came across an interesting article that we thought might interest people. The article entitled ‘Is Your Home Making You Fat?’ outlines the need to use alternatives to help lose weight. One of the methods outlined stated that people can use scented or unscented candles to help reduce their appetites. We think the fruity scented candles could be the ones to try.

We are currently testing this theory ourselves along with some of our customers. It should be interesting to see the results. Of course as a small business we like to keep our customers informed on our business and the market we operate within.

Celebrate the summer in style with exotic summer fruits fragranced candles. Everywhere we turn we see the sun, the lure of an exotic holiday or the panache of a tropical drink. Well now you can add to that summer feeling with our summer fruits fragranced candles. We have some real great smelling candles which will just blow your senses away.

We have candles that smell of the sea or of the Hawaii. Candles that smell of exotic Italian orange fields or of stunning fresh fruits. These candles not only smell great but also look great. The bright colours and fantastic jars and tins really make them stand out.

It’s also not always possible to go on holiday or you have already been on holiday but want to remind yourself of that experience. You could simply light one of our wonderful candles and sit back in the garden with a glass of wine. We are finding that many people are using the candles at summer dinner parties. They can be a real talking point. Anyway we hope you have as much fun with them as we do.

According to the latest research carried out at Southampton University scented candles can help kill unwanted bugs and bacteria. The research found that adding essential oils like eucalyptus, orange and thyme worked most effectively. One researcher even suggested that candles could be as effective as scrubbing a surface with disinfectant.

So it appears that candles not only make your place smell great but also help protect you against unwanted bacteria. At Candles To You we believe in the safety and welfare of our customers and this is why we keep you up to date with these latest advances in the industry. We also have a great selection of orange and eucalyptus candles.
