Grow Old With Me Eucalyptus Soy Candle Wedding Gift

Candles are the safest of the safe gifts, which is exactly why the label has to be worth looking at. The amber glass carries the eucalyptus stem and its wide-tracked capitals with a lot of unprinted space around them, so the jar reads more like a small piece of art than a supermarket candle. Set it on a nightstand or the corner of a bathroom shelf and it holds its own unlit.

Soy wax burns cooler and longer than paraffin, and this jar gives about forty hours, enough for a season of slow evenings. Trim the cotton wick to a quarter inch before each burn and let the first burn reach the edges. When it is spent, the amber jar washes out and becomes a holder for hair ties or paintbrushes. A gracious bridal shower gift.
