Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a good retirement gift for a woman finishing a long career?
A: Something for the home she is about to spend far more time in, chosen on her taste rather than her job title. A scented jar suits almost everybody and asks nothing of her.
Q: Is a fairy-tale joke too soft for a retirement gift?
A: The joke is about deciding and getting on with it, which is a compliment rather than a soft touch. Most women who retire recognise themselves in it immediately.
Q: What should go with a candle to make it a bigger gift?
A: A card everybody signs adds more than a second object would, because the words are what gets kept. Anything edible competes with the party food.
Q: How warm is a clove and amber scent in summer?
A: Citrus and teakwood keep the top of it light, so it does not feel out of place in July the way a heavy spice candle would. It is warm rather than festive.
Q: How many hours are in a full jar?
A: 60+ hours in 13.5 oz of wax, based on three to four hour burns. Shorter sittings waste wax by tunnelling before the pool reaches the glass.
Q: Is the glass thick enough to keep afterwards?
A: The jar is heavy-walled and designed to be kept, and it takes brushes, pens or change once the wax is out. Warm water lifts the last of the wax in minutes.
