Charmed Aroma candles: An easy, cute gift idea
Candles are universally loved for their soft glow, subtle heat and nice smell. But what if you could also nab a cute piece of jewellery each time you burned a new one? The childlike prize-in-a-cereal-box lover in you would be thrilled—and so would anyone to whom you'd give such a sweet gift. At least that's the idea behind
Charmed Aroma, a new candle company with—surprise!—a ring buried in each purchase.
Each soy wax candle comes in a large glass jar with golden lid, both of which have a pretty, elegant feel. Each vessel looks as though it would be perfectly suited to an airy Parisian flat. I've been burning my candle at home after work for the last several evenings, and the fragrance and soft glow of the flame add such an inviting quality to my bedroom. The candles come in three different scents: fruity Velvet Peach or Emerald Lime and gourmand Vanilla Crepe. I've always preferred tangy, fruity fragrances over rich, sweet ones, and my favourite is the fresh, youthful Emerald Lime—though Velvet Peach reminds me of fuzzy peach candies, which is a good thing. After a few hours, I noticed the edges of a piece of tinfoil start to peek through, so I pulled on them with a pair of tweezers. Out popped a pretty ring, wrapped in foil and a Ziploc bag. It was a little messy, but I just had to see my prize. Each candle costs $25 and contains a ring valued anywhere from $10 to $5,000. There are also several ring designs for sale on the website, such as the Infinity cubic zirconia ring with rhodium plating below ($100). It's a lovely gift for any woman that needs a little sparkle in her life.
