Finding the gifts that make “scents”

Angelina Wagner

With the holiday’s quickly approaching, last minute shopping does not have to be an option. Candlemaking is your solution and it is the perfect way to show loved ones how much you care. Homemade candles can be custom-made for each individual depending on their interests.

“My mom still loves when I make her stuff and I am 20 years old. If I make my mom, grandmom and sister a candle for Christmas, I would be saving so much money. Homemade gifts are not only cheaper, they come from the heart,” Gina Piro, a sophomore said.

Along with making the candle, you can make a centerpiece for it. For example you could make a box that is decorated, so that the candles are given the sophistication they deserve. There are different candle types that you can make. Anywhere from floating candles, to gel candles with any shape or color that you desire are easy to create at home.
