ashncandles Posted May 30, 2006 Author Share Posted May 30, 2006 I was thinking something like that. Or I found a scent that is his favorite perfume that he buys for me. Maybe put that in a light blue candle with a picture of him and I framed?? Kinda sappy... but its from the heart. (Funny story with what I TRIED to get him.. grr) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candlelovr Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 The only thing I can think of is maybe his favorite color pillar scented with his favorite food/cologne scent. Or maybe just do a smelly jelly for his car if he likes his car to smell good. Im sorry I cant help ya more..my hubby would cry if I gave him a candle for his birthday and Im not talking tears of joy either! ROFL Good luck anyway!

Scented Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 How about listing out what scents and colors make you think of your man and then mixing something together that would resemble what you think of him. I don't know if that makes sense, but for use your thoughts of him and what he makes you feel like to draw inspiration from and then pour a set of candles to reflect that. FOr instance if he makes feel desire, picture what you think desire might look like and try to make that into a candle, combine a couple of techniques if you want. Tanya did some fabulous looking blue candles once on the old board, drawing inspiration off a friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystical_angel1219 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Do you do hurricanes?That would be a nice gift. Go get some glamour shots done and put the picture on a candle. He can show his friends and family what a great gift he received and it could lead to future sales. (It's all about the sales )Or a pic of the both you would work as well.

It would be a million dollar seller in todays society. :shocked2: Great marketing idea! <insert giant lightbulb here>Girl, you left that one wide open, I couldn't resist.Ok, I am done being obnoxious Ash.

ashncandles Posted May 31, 2006 Author Share Posted May 31, 2006 Hehe yeah I know its kinda sappy for a gift for a man. But.. I don't think he'd mind. I'll see what I can do. Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondgirl_26 Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 I personally love black candles; they are very sexy (not assuming anything of course). My husband loves when I make candles. He always smelling them, and sitting in the kitchen when I make them, so I don't think it's silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
