Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What do you give somebody who has been counting down to retirement for years?
A: Lean into the countdown, because it is the thing they have talked about most and the thing they are proudest of finishing. A gift that ignores it misses the whole story.
Q: Is it worth spending more on a retirement gift than a birthday one?
A: Retirement happens once and a birthday happens annually, which is why people stretch a little further for it. A group collection is how most teams manage that.
Q: Does a candle suit somebody who is about to travel a lot?
A: It waits patiently on a shelf between trips and does not need looking after, unlike anything living. It is also the thing that makes a house feel occupied again on the way back.
Q: Which is stronger, a citrus scent or a woody one?
A: Citrus hits first and fades faster, and wood and amber build slowly and stay. Caribbean Retreat has both, which is why it holds a room for a full burn.
Q: What causes a candle to burn down one side?
A: An off-centre wick or a draught, and both are fixable — straighten the wick while the wax is soft and move the jar away from the airflow. It usually corrects within two burns.
Q: Can two people share one gift like this?
A: Two or three people going in together on one full-size jar is common and reads better than two smaller gifts. One card with both names finishes it.
