Unrivaled Candles Places Valuable Jewelry In Each Of Their Amazing Candles

by Leave a Comment

Candles are a bestselling product for floral and gift shops, and they have been for many years. Customers are always looking for a new scent to spice up a room, or a new way of making candles (soy, beeswax, gel, etc.) that’s innovative and more efficient than the traditional way of making them.

Unrivaled Candles takes candle innovation one step further than most. Not only do they produce hand-poured candles made with high-quality soy and paraffin blended wax, they also include a special gift inside of each one of their wonderfully scented candles!

The Story of Unrivaled Candles

In 2010, Unrivaled Candles owner Nina Bright decided to start her own candle company. She had always loved candles, and had heard of other companies doing the “jewelry inside your candles” idea, and Nina decided to try this model out for herself. Nina buys her jewelry wholesale with the jewelry reaching a retail value of up to $10,000. Now, she spends her days working from home creating her amazingly scented mystery jewelry candles!

Each one of the candles made by Unrivaled Candles contains a valuable piece of jewelry inside, that can be valued anywhere from $10 to $10,000. The allure of Unrivaled Candles, besides their amazing selection of scents, is the mystery of how valuable the piece of jewelry inside your candle will be! It’s a winning system for getting customers to buy Unrivaled Candles over and over again, just to see if they can get a more expensive jewelry piece in each subsequent candle purchase.

Scents

But, of course, it’s not all about the jewelry with Unrivaled Candles. The magnificent and alluring scents they produce are reason enough to purchase from them over their competitors.

They have candle scents that smell so similar to the desserts and treats they are based on that they are guaranteed to make your mouth water. Everyday Fragrances is their signature line of candles and are available in a variety of scents for all occasions. For flavorful scents that will make you want the real thing, check out their Peach Cream and Orange Vanilla scents. The Peach Cream candle is a summer favorite, and perfectly emulates the smell of ripened peaches with a dollop of cream on top.

Country Cabin

For more floral and homey scents, take a whiff of their Country Cabin and Gardenia Path candles. Country Cabin is a blend of cinnamon, spice, and woodsy smells that accurately recall the feeling of a cabin in the woods during the winter. Gardenia Path is full of the fragrance of the flower that it’s named after, and recalls a leisurely stroll through a gardenia garden.

Accessories and Wick Dippers

Unrivaled Candles also has candle accessories and holders for Seasonal events, such as their Frosted Ornaments for Christmas, and Jack-O-Lantern candle holders for Halloween. Your customers will love the variety of holiday accessories that Unrivaled Candles provides for purchase.

Wick Dippers are another accessory that Unrivaled Candles excels at making. Not only are their Wick Dippers excellent at extinguishing candle wicks without releasing smoke, they are also beautifully crafted. Each Wick Dipper is made from high-end materials to prevent breaking, and are designed to be elegant and dazzling as well. The metal vine and jewels that encompass the dipper are exquisitely crafted to be a fashion statement as well as a functional tool.

Wick Dipper

Some of their newest scents that are sure to entice your customers are Ma Cherie and The Hunter. Ma Cherie is a cherry scented candle that’s great for romantic evenings alone with a loved one, or to put someone in the Valentine’s Day mood.

The Hunter is part of the Men’s Fragrances line of candles, which also includes Black Tie and Gentleman. The Hunter is a “uniquely masculine fragrance” that has notes of amber wood, citrus, sea salt, and bergamot. It’s the perfect candle for a hunting lodge, hunting camp, house, or office!

Unrivaled Candles takes their candlemaking seriously, and seek to provide a wonderful experience for not only the people who have the pleasure of smelling their candles but the customers who buy the candles in order to find valuable pieces of fine jewelry!

Lil’ Flickers Candle Co. Brings The Scents of The World To Your Customers

by Leave a Comment

Vendor Spotlight

Candles have the ability to not only brighten up any room but to also freshen the air with wonderful scents and aromas. It’s not every day that you find a product that does two things for the price of one! But buying the perfect candle can also be a tasking process. How do you find the one that your customers will love, and is made with high-quality materials that will allow the wick to burn for hours and hours? Well, if you’re looking for a candle company that provides all of those things and more, you’ve found the right business with Lil’ Flickers Candle Company.

The Story

Lil’ Flickers Candle Company was created by Tammy Jo and Mark Kerney in October of 1994, originally as a family owned stay-at-home business. The family worked hard to make a product with scents that were “beyond belief” and also melted evenly when burned.

After years of selling their candles out of their home, Tammy Jo and Mark decided to sell their products through Wild Bird Center in Harlingen, Texas. Eventually, Tammy Jo and Mark passed on the business to Arlene and Bob Stelzer, owners of Wild Bird Center, in April 2002. The Stelzers, the new owners of Lil’ Flickers, have been operating Lil’ Flickers for many years and still work to produce the best candles in the business, in many of the same ways Tammy Jo and Mark used to do it!

Long-Lasting Jar Candles

Lil’ Flickers scented candles are container candles that are placed in a 16-ounce jar. Their scented candles are single wick jar candles, which allows each candle to have an extra long burning time; the average burn time is about 110-115 hours. Their burn time, which averages about 7 hours per ounce of wax, is one of the highest in the industry!

Each candle is also hand-poured, making the scents disperse evenly and powerfully all the way through the candle, from the first lighting of the wick to the bottom of the jar.

Fabulous Scents

Lil’ Flickers Candle Company carries a fabulous array of scents.  From fruity to traditional to woodsy and holiday scents, your customers will have no problem finding the scent that matches their aroma preferences!

Take the Bird of Paradise candle for example. This beautifully made candle features the scents of ripe berries and orchard fruits, candied citrus laced with coconut, and a hint of vanilla sugar. This scent will not only freshen your home, it will also make your mouth water as you imagine feasting on an array of decadent fruits and deserts!

Wanting something a bit more woodsy? Try the Rocky Mountain Cedar candle. This amazing candle features the scents of cedar mingled with hints of pine, oak and fresh juniper blended with a soft floral smell. It’s perfect for a cozy cabin in the woods, or recreating the great outdoors at an apartment in the city.

Pina Colada

If you want to feel like you’re enjoying a relaxing vacation on an exotic beach, you need to experience the Pina Colada candle. It only takes one whiff of this creamy coconut milk and pineapple scented candle to be carried off to a tropical beach paradise.

Block Wax Melters

Don’t want to burn a candle, or can’t where you currently live? Don’t worry, Lil’ Flickers has you covered there as well. Their block wax melters are the perfect solution for flame-free zones. These wax blocks melt evenly, just like their famous candles, and come in all of the beautifully aromatic scents that the jar candles do. They’re great for filling up a home or office with a warming scent!

Scented Blocks

Lil’ Flickers Candle Co. doesn’t skimp out when it comes to quality, value, and alluring scents! Try them today and see why they’re a step above the rest of the competition!

by Leave a Comment

Weekly Pick

When Tom and Angie Geary started their Christmas Tree farm back in 1996, they didn’t expect they’d be selling what they specialize in today.

Originally planting and replanting Christmas Trees as a way to make a living, Tom and Angie’s New England-based tree farm, Bedrock Tree Farm, went through numerous tough times; including Hurricane Sandy, which damaged their tree supply.

But through it all, Bedrock Tree Farm has persisted, thanks to their unique, award-winning fir needle candles, made from the trees located on their farm!

Bedrock Tree Farms Award-Winning Fir Soy Candle

The candles are made by taking the sap from the fir trees, which is where the strong scent comes from, and blending it with traditional soy candle making ingredients. The result is a candle that smells just like a fresh cut fir tree from their farm. They also feature wooden wicks, which are just one more element that makes these candles stand out.

If your customers are looking for candles that smell like authentic fir trees, you can’t get more authentic than the candles made by Bedrock Tree Farm!

Wickman Products Makes Candle Extras You Didn’t Know Existed

by Leave a Comment

Vendor Spotlight

Wickman Products sells products that will leave you saying, “No way!” They deliver unique candle tools used to dig out buried wicks, trimming and catching wicks for a cleaner and longer burn, and a snuffer or a wick dipper, both used to extinguish the candle’s flame. Based in Memphis, Tennessee, this company truly offers unique candle accessories, and candles, too.

Why buy such unique products? Candle wicks trimmed to 1/4″ will burn longer and cleaner.  The wick dippers are used to snuff candles by submerging the burning wick into the hot pool of wax, then lifting it back out. When this is done, the wick is coated and sealed with wax, preventing it from smoking and smoldering, leaving the room freshly scented instead of smelling like smoke.

Antique Brass Trimmer

Each of the accessories can be purchased individually, and some are sold as a pack (standard multipack includes the wick trimmer, wick dipper and bell snuffer; the two item pack includes a wick trimmer and wick dipper). For a bit of flourish, you can buy a fleur de lis trimmer or dipper that has an embellished design, and comes separate or as part of a pack. The wick dippers, which can also be found with a bit of design, like a peace sign, or a cross, are great for cutting even wooden wicks and larger outdoor candle wicks.

All of the products have a nice finish in matte black, pewter, gold, or stainless steel.

The candles they offer are scented and poured into an 11-ounce tumbler using only premium oils in classic singular scents, as well as combinations. Scents include mango tangerine, red tulip, rosewood, vanilla freesia jasmine, and pomegranate pineapple, and more. Each candle also includes an engraved stone collectible with words like breathe, laugh, imagine, and celebrate.

 

The Wickman line of candle accessories was started in 1999 by Bryce Huie. After being asked repeatedly by a girlfriend to dig out buried or broken off candle wicks, Bryce decided to design a specific tool for this purpose instead of using a kitchen knife or other household item. It was a side business until 2001 when he designed the original Wickman wick trimmer with debris catching trays and ergonomically shaped handles and blades for easy trimming of candle wicks. From there it became a full-time occupation, adding other candle accessories like wick dippers and bell snuffers. Today, Wickman supplies unique candle accessories to over 3,000 retail establishments across the US, Canada, Australia and Europe offering one of the most extensive lines of candle wick trimmers on the market, along with a whole line of handy to have accessories for the candle lover.

So, for those extremely useful but hard to find candle extras, look no further than Wickman Products.
