Buying Candle Boxes - What You Need To Know

Candles can make the perfect gift for anyone no matter what the occasion. Candles can be simply practical, decorative or romantic whilst omitting a soothing scent. If you are intending to give someone a candle or set of candles as a present, then you will need to have candle boxes. These boxes will keep the candle safe from any chipping during transportation and they will also keep it at an optimum cool temperature.

Candle boxes can be made from wood or cardboard. Wooden boxes offer and more intimate and decorative touch to the standard candle gift because they have usually been hand made. Cardboard is a widely available product that is made from compressed tree pulp. Cardboard boxes are easy to get hold of and they can be altered in many ways to suit your needs or to reflect the person that they are being given to. Whatever material that has been used to make the box, all boxes are then filled with layers of soft tissue paper so that the candle remains protected.

The size of the box that is being used to accommodate the candle will depend on the size of the candle or candles and ultimately how many are being gifted. There are different types of candles, these range from large church candles to tea lights and also include standard candles that are used to create light at a romantic dinner. You might also choose to present you candles in a different shaped box. Traditionally many boxes that are used for candles are cube or oblong shaped, although you can also get circular boxes for a more unique feel.

All candle boxes can ultimately be decorated, although whether you want to is up to you. If your candle is being presented in a carved wooden box, then you might be happy with the overall look of the box, this is similar to if the box is cardboard and has a really nice pattern on the outside of it. However, both of these materials make it very easy to chance. Wood can be painted and cardboard can be covered with fabric and painted to create a sense of personal style.

Some shops that sell candles will sell then in pre-made boxes, but if you are looking for something a little different then you should try shopping online. Online shopping will give you a much greater choice of products as well as making the whole experience much quicker and easier. Online shopping is also more convenient and often a lot cheaper.

Candle boxes can sometimes be more stunning to look at than the actual candle, depending on what they are made from. If you buy a good candle box then it can be re-used long after the last part of the candle wax has melted.
