Counting Down With Style: Your Guide to Candle Advent Calendars
Sorry chocolate, it looks like your time dominating advent calendars is over. Today, you can get a themed calendar for just about everything, from books to beauty products. We might be biased but we think the most exciting are the scented candle options.
Candle advent calendars like ours offer mini candles each morning for twelve days running up to the big day. Remember how exciting opening your advent calendar was when you were a child? Well, treating yourself to one of these brings back this joy and you end up with something you really want. In the run-up to Christmas, we all tend to get busy and sometimes forget the magic of the season. Taking time out each day to unwrap, light, and enjoy a gorgeously scented candle can help bring a little bit of calm to your Christmas prep. You deserve to slow down and enjoy the process. These calendars are beautifully presented, typically with small colourful boxes and pretty candle containers so they’re a treat for all the senses.
Candles in advent calendars tend to be 50 grams which have a burn time of around 10 hours. That means that much more than just a nice treat per day, you will get up to 120 hours of wonderful scents. This calendar will be something that brings you joy long past Christmas Day.
Try Multiple Scents
We’re all guilty of finding our favourite scents and sticking to them. Larger scented candles have a long burn time, so it makes sense to commit to one you know you’ll enjoy. With a candle advent calendar, you have the opportunity to try 12 different scents and see which ones you like the best. You may find a new favourite that you’d like to invest in as a full-size candle. Equally, if there is the odd one in the calendar that you find isn’t to your taste, we’re sure a friend would be happy to try it out, especially if it’s only had a short burn.
Candle advent calendars tend to have a mix of seasonal Christmas scented candles and standard scented candles. This means you could wait until the busy season is over to explore the ones that aren’t traditionally festive. Or you could enjoy the festive scents throughout the year, we’re not judging. As we don’t get the cold weather in Christmas songs and movies in Australia, having a mix of scents means you can choose based on your mood. Whether you want to embrace the traditional festive notes or something that matches the weather outside, a candle advent calendar will help you set the vibe you’re looking for.
