The season for great smelling candles is here. Everyone wants their homes to smell of
cinnamon, spices and an array of baked goods, even if their idea of baking is
picking up a dozen cookies from the grocery store.
Some people invest hundreds of dollars in candles. Certain scents can be reminiscent of a
grandma’s kitchen after she made a scrumptious apple pie, a mother’s chocolate
chip cookies that welcomed you after a hard day of middle school, or of a
favorite restaurant visited after church, and those memories are priceless.
Candle snuffers are a candle’s partner. To ensure even burning, you always use a
candle snuffer to extinguish the candle.
Do not touch the wick or follower with the snuffer. Simply cover the flame with the snuffer until
it goes out. Do not extinguish a candle
burning for less than two minutes, as the wick may burn down and become
difficult to relight. Wait a few minutes
for liquid wax to harden before moving candle.
If you are planning on giving candles as holiday gifts, consider
pairing them with a candle snuffer.

snuffers that will complete your gift and give it style.
