Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What do you give somebody who is only retiring part way?
A: A phased retirement still deserves marking, because the person has made the decision even if the leaving date is staggered. A weekend joke works whether they left on Friday or are down to three days.
Q: Is a candle a reasonable gift from one colleague rather than a group?
A: A full-size jar from one person is a normal, proportionate gift and does not put the recipient under any obligation. It is the group gifts that need a card to spread the credit.
Q: How much space does the jar take up?
A: 3.375" across and 4.25" tall, which is roughly the footprint of a large coffee cup. It fits a mantel, a shelf or a windowsill without crowding anything.
Q: What is the wick made from?
A: Cotton, with no lead or metal core, which is what keeps the flame steady and the soot down. It still needs trimming to 1/4" before each burn.
Q: Where does Cedar Crate make its candles?
A: All of them are hand poured in Minnetonka, Minnesota, and made in the USA. The pouring, the labelling and the checking all happen in the same place.
Q: Does a candle need anything else with it to feel like a gift?
A: The printed label does the work a gift tag usually has to, so it can be handed over exactly as it arrives. A card is worth adding when it comes from a whole team.
