Holiday 2021 giveaway: Scented candles.

by

We have one month before Christmas and a little more than that until Kwanzaa, so let’s keep these giveaways coming! This time around, the holiday 2021 giveaway is sponsored by Abigail Perry of I Pick Up Pennies, whom regular readers will know is my daughter. These highly scented candles could become four or more holiday gifts for some lucky reader, or maybe a really nice self-gift.

The backstory, as I recall it: Abby had written about the importance of supporting local and small-biz economies. One of her readers mentioned that she had an Etsy shop called BettysOnly. Abby visited and spent a little money, and decided to donate them to my holiday giveaway series.

As you can see from the photo, there are four good-sized scented candles and four little tulle bags. The bags are full of what I initially thought were small, flat candles, but which on closer inspection  proved to be wickless. I concluded that these are fragrance blocks, designed to perfume a room. Put one or two of them into a dish in a musty-smelling room, closet or dresser drawer and they’ll change the dynamic pretty quickly.

(I brought them home wrapped in plastic bags in my suitcase several weeks ago, and that Gladstone still smells sweet. Since I’m heading for the Talkeetna Bachelors Auction and Wilderness Woman Competition next weekend with Linda B., I’ll be even more irresistible than I usually am. Or my clothes will, anyway.)

You could give this prize as one great big holiday or birthday (or Valentine’s Day) present, or split it up into individual gifts. Three of the four candles are heart-shaped and one is a tall, square pillar. The smaller bags would make good stocking-stuffers, or little gifts to someone you’d like to treat but with whom you don’t want to provoke a gift war; such a small remembrance shouldn’t make that person feel, “Oh, but I didn’t get you anything!”

You also get the good feeling of having indirectly supported an entrepreneur. Given that today is Small Business Saturday, that seems appropriate.

Or you could, you know, treat yourself. When you get something pretty, sometimes it’s a good idea to keep it.

Win these scented candles

For your chance(s) to win, do one or more of the following:

Be sure to leave a separate comment for each entry (e.g., “Subscribed via e-mail” or “Follow you on Twitter”).

The deadline for entering is 6 p.m. PST Wednesday, Dec. 1. If I don’t hear back from the winner by 6 p.m. PST Thursday, Dec. 2, I’ll have the random number generator select a new name. That should give the candles plenty of time to arrive, especially since I’ll be mailing them in a Priority Mail box. 

Note: Due to the high cost of international shipping, this giveaway is limited to U.S. residents.

  29. I enjoy your writing and advice. All the techniques and new habits I learned helped me succeed when my income decreased by 75% after divorce. 18 years later…I am happy to report that frugality is as natural as breathing, and my second husband is right on board with me. So, we love the idea of giveaways!
