Making candles is a fun and creative process. I personally find it very relaxing and it makes me happy to be able to make something that I can give away. Some gifts, like food, don't last as long and candles are a perfect gift because I find that everybody loves them. They're a little luxury that can have aromatherapy benefits as well. Who wouldn't love a scent that relaxes and soothes us in such a busy and hectic world?
