Soy Candles: A Healthier, Smarter Gift Choice




If you often give scented candles as holiday gifts to friends and loved ones, consider buying soy candles instead of the usual paraffin candles. Soy candles offer a number of benefits for you as the giver and for your recipients. And you can easily order soy candles of various fragrances, styles and colors on the Web at affordable prices. Let's explore some of the benefits of these candles.

Soy Lasts Longer

When comparing soy candles with paraffin candles, soy will last much longer. They don't burn down as quickly due to the ingredients used (soy wax burns at a cooler temperature). Therefore, these candles are more cost efficient in the long run. When you invest in soy candles for loved ones, they will appreciate your thoughtfulness in buying a higher grade of candle for their gift!

Safer for Health Reasons

Soy candles don't put out anywhere near the amount of soot as do paraffin candles. Because paraffin is a by-product of petroleum, it causes the air quality in one's home to decline. Though you can't see it, the smoke from paraffin candles contains up to 11 carcinogens, which are harmful to the lungs over time. Soy candles, on the other hand, are clean burning and are safer for home use, whether being burned in the living area, kitchen, bathroom or bedroom.

Help the Environment

When investing in these candles, you're also helping a greater cause - the environment. Soy wax is biodegradable, water soluble, and it is also non-toxic. The candles are harmless to the environment, and won't cause health issues with pets or children. If the wax spills, it can easily be cleaned up with water and a little soap - great news if your gift recipient has small children!

Amazing Scents

Soy scents smell as fragrant or better than paraffin candles. The scent is clean and lingers longer throughout the home. It is also a further-reaching scent, meaning you can burn one candle to create a fragrance in several rooms. This, too, is a reason these candles are more cost-efficient.

Gift Choices Galore

Another great thing about buying these candles as gifts is you can choose from a vast selection of colors and fragrances. Scents include cinnamon bun, vanilla, hot apple pie, baby powder, forest pine, harvest spice, mango, strawberry, lavender, lilac and many others. There are various sizes as well so you can easily find candles in your price range. Some companies will personalize the candles. For example, you might be able to create a soy candle gift "In Memory Of" a deceased loved one for your recipient (such as their spouse, child or grandparent).

Order your candle gifts early because candle supplies might be limited. Online stores usually offer the best selection and pricing, but even these stores are very busy during the holiday season. You can give these candles as individual gifts, take them as a party gift or give for birthdays, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and other occasions. Soy candle information is easily accessible on the Web, so don't delay in buying this great home decor gift for your loved ones!
