Candle gift basket arrangement is a great gift idea for those who just can’t get enough of candles.
For a friend who is very creative and loves to make things from her own hands, why not give her a basket full of candle making supplies. You can include waxes, molds, wicks, scents and other paraphernalia used in making a candle. All are relatively inexpensive so it’s best to do research on how much each item costs.
For other occasions, you can give coffee scented waxes or waxes that have a gourmet coffee scent like cappuccino for those who love coffee. You can also include cinnamon and crème brulee scented candles for variety. And you can include ceramic mugs and flavored gourmet coffee beans.
Another great theme for candle gift baskets is sweets. Fill a basket with candies and other types of sweets and include scented wax to mimic the treats. Or you can opt for fruit basket theme where you mix real fruits and scented candles that have the same scent.
Seasonal candle gift baskets are also becoming popular. Pumpkin and apple are scents for fall while peppermint and spice scented are perfect for the winter.
With creativity and patience of putting things together, you can create a candle gift basket appropriate for any occasion.

The most important candle supplies are the ones you need right away. For the most part, you need wax wicks, fragrance, mold, containers, and something to melt the wax. These will make basic candles, but if you want a product that stands up well, has a great smell, and looks amazing, there are other candle supplies you must get, and this is where things can get confusing.
Candle additives are chemicals or substances used to help give your candle a slow burn, even scent, a unique appearance, and the ability to stay fresh and new looking. There is an additive out there for everything, and if you look at a website that sells candle supplies you will see what I mean. You should research before you buy to decide what candle supplies you need before you start so you don’t have to stop in the middle of what you are doing to buy something you forgot, or didn’t think you would need.
You may also want to buy specialty candle supplies, and a lot of these things can be bought online. Some people prefer beeswax for candles because it is natural and contains no chemicals. There are different types of wicks that burn at different rates. Some additives are essential, while others are used for special purposes.
Tip when buying: Buy in bulk. You can save a lot of money plus you can sell the extra candles you make. Or you can display them in your own home.
