laehshea Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I have recently begun candle making and have started doing home shows. I was on a website and I thought that I had bookmarked it, only to find out that I had not. But, my question is, I saw on a website that there was a container that held several small size samples of candle scents that you could use instead of have customers open all your candle jars. I believe it was in a tin and the you could pour you different waxes in there as a candle sample. Has anyone seen this and if so, would you mind sharing where?

TallTayl Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Those are cool trays! Is it wrong that my mind didn't go to wax for them? I have tons and tons of little doo dads that would be very happy in that case! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksranch Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Are you guys talking about the 20/40 container set things? As in, you are thinking of putting actual FO in them for people to smell? Just curious... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksranch Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 WHEW! I was having nightmares thinking of putting FO in them! I use 2oz portion cups and make a "Sniff Stop" at my home parties - put it front and center like on a central coffee table where lots of people can reach them - they have fun sniffing and passing them around.

Yeah, I have and use the 2oz portion cups, too. They make great tarts, as well. While I love the look and idea of these tin displays, I'll probably stick with the portion cups. They are easy to make, and no added cost. My husband hates when I keep spending his money on my candle habit. I told him that eventually the candles will pay for themselves. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B@BlissStreet Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Thank you so much for the information here; I have 42 different scents poured in two sets, and they need a better home than Ziplock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting the shaft again. Curses to all who make Ziplock obsolete! :-) Okay. You may continue with your regularly scheduled programming. My silliness is done....for now. Mwahahahaha!!!

lauramw71 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 ohhh I like this idea! I do B&B and people at work are always asking what scents I have. This would be perfect to keep at work.. I'm thinking some wax, and a few drops of fo in each of them!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandyinVA Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Great idea! I just bought 2 of the 40 ones. I also bought 2 lbs of their soy beads. Think I will put a few ion each one with a few drops of oil! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricofAZ Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I learned that keeping some coffee beans handy is important, it clears the nose when sniffing multiple samples. The guys at snowdriftfarm.com had this set up in the lobby and it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

001 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I've settled on 10 ml jars they use for lip balm. Clear bottom, black top. Labeled top and bottom (mixing up lids throws off the scent) The biggest reason I have switched to these is because I switch them out so often (I change them out every 3-4 months to keep them fresh) I had the one from CAS but when people had them out sniffing they mixed the lids/jars up and it threw off the scents, big time.

CandyinVA Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I bought (2) of the 40 sets and just completed them tonight! I used soy beads in each little container and a few drops of oil and just wrote the scent on top with a thin sharpie marker. Took a little time to do but this will help out ALOT :-) I had 76 scents so it worked out perfectly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've see the exact same tins with the window tops at Hobby Lobby, but they don't come with a case. They were on a shelf along the wall near the scrapbooking, stamping, polymer clay, and all that stuff. Where can I buy portion cups locally? WalMart? I wonder if there's a cute little case to keep portion cups in. Edited December 6, 2011 by HorsescentS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
