mindy5140 Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 I was thinking on making my sons teacher a candle for christmas, how original huh, lol.I was thinking along the lines of Creme brulee, Apple Pie, or some kind of relaxing scent.So what do you think??TIA,Mindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debscent Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 She's a teacher--a relaxing scent. LOL!! I would choose apple pie over creme brulee, it seems to be a love it or hate it scent. I have an annual open house each year and make small gift baskets for teacher's gifts, and the biggest seller for me is a two candle gift scent with a sugar cookie candle and either a coffee scent or hot cocoa, and a coffee mug in the basket.Good luck!

classylady71118 Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Not everyone likes bakery scents...I would go with Apple Jack & Peel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scentsme Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Apple Pie or McIntosh Apple ............you know: an apple for the teacher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accents Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Why don't you let your son choose a scent? As a former teacher, I always appreciated the gifts I knew the kids had something to do with. Not to say I didn't appreciate all of them, but it will give him a little ownership too. You could also get him to find out her favorite color, that might help a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heirloomoriginals Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 backwoods has an awesome mac apple, at least in soap! I need to try it in wax, but I am sure it will be a hit!Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravity Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 I say McIntosh Apple, too... just kinda makes sense! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Why don't you let your son choose a scent? I agree! My kids' teachers get candles from me every Christmas, and I let my kids pick out the scents. Last year, my daughter insisted that her teacher would LOVE Pink Sugar...but I don't think she did, lol!

candlesprite7 Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 I was thinking hot apple pie also....or maybe a variety? I was thinking of doing some votives in a gift baskets with some other handmade items. I picked up a neat pen with letter beads on it done in her name at the last craft fair I was at. It is cute. I'll be at another fair tomorrow so I'll be checking out things there also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katie Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 the first thing that came to mind was Mac apple too, also just poured it last night and its oh so yummy.but if you want a relaxing one you can do lavender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luci Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 One of the favorites I received from a student was a cranberry. I had never bought that scent before and had no idea how good it was. My sister got a cranberry scent from a student last year for the first time, and she loved it, too. It just wasn't one of those scents that we ever really thought about.

country creek Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 That actually sounds like a good scent to try. Thanks for the idea. Now.....who has the best cranberry??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mindy5140 Posted November 10, 2006 Author Share Posted November 10, 2006 Thanks, those are all great ideas. My son picked out Huckleberry Harvest from NG. I totally forgot I had that FO. It was all the way in the back of my candle closet.Cranberry is different, I have NG's Cranberry Cobbler curing. I"m going to have to test that one soon.Thanks again,Mindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodle Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 There are very few bakery scents that I like. I am all for a straight apple scent or else letting your son pick a scent for his teacher. He probably knows more about her than you do. I know this is the case with my 8 year old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapdragon2 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I love Cranberry from Chemessence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryann Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I didn't read through everyone's so this may be a repeat. LOL, the first thing I thought of was APPLE=TEACHER .You could always ask her (or have your child ask) what her favorite scents are and go from there. What one person likes another may hate, and you want her to like it. I have one son who's teacher wants eveything I make in PINK SUGAR, she orders nothing but.My other son gave his teacher a gift certif to my online store and she ordered a Pine scented candle.

Laura Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 why not have your son bring a note with the scents to pick...have her check off which one she likes...then walla! lol...i think i just might do that...now my mom and sister in law are both teachers and you wouldn't believe how many apple scented gifts they get,lol....and it's one scent i never smell when i go over to visit,lol...just something to think about...

mindy5140 Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 I think I have the perfect scent for her. Yesterday my son was looking in my soap box, and I had made Strawberry Shortcake M&P soap. He insisted on bathing with it, it was shaped like a frog, my only mold I had at the time. Anyways we saw her at the gas station, and we were talking. She kept smelling my son, commenting on how good he smelled the whole time.So of course I chimed in and asked if she likes Strawberry scented stuff and she said yes when she was younger her mom used to buy her strawberry shampoo and soap.So I'm going to make her up a strawberry basket. Shampoo, conditioner, lotion, M&P soap (shaped like a bar of soap,lol) and a candle.Mindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmp Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Hi Mindy ~How great that you found out that she likes strawberry! You'll score some nice brownie points with that gift basket, that's for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
