Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which jar size should I choose for a retirement gift?
A: The 9 oz suits a desk drop, a set budget or a small home, and the 13.5 oz suits the main gift at a party. Both carry the same saying and the same scent, so it is purely a question of the moment.
Q: Is a candle a good last-minute gift?
A: It is one of the few gifts that works without any advance knowledge of the person, which is exactly what a last-minute gift needs. It also looks nothing like an afterthought.
Q: How does a 9 oz jar do in a large room?
A: It scents a bedroom, a bathroom or a home office comfortably, and in a large open-plan room it is noticeable rather than dominant. That suits people who find big candles overpowering.
Q: Is it safe around cats and dogs?
A: Keep any lit candle out of jumping range and the room ventilated, which matters most with cats. Soy wax and a cotton wick mean nothing petroleum based is going into the air.
Q: What is bamboo cypress cedar closest to?
A: It sits somewhere between a fresh linen scent and a walk in a pine wood, with the greenness of bamboo on top. There is no smoke and no sweetness in it.
Q: Can the glass be reused for anything?
A: The 9 oz glass makes a good pen pot, a spot for hair ties or a small planter once it is clean. It is thick-walled rather than disposable.
