Candles are a great gift for any occasion- perfect for weddings, house warming?s, baby showers, bridal showers, for birthdays or simply a thank-you gift to a family member or friend. Candles are also said to be a gift of renewal: the flame of peace and serenity.
A candle allows you the opportunity to find peace and tranquillity in the comfort of your own home. Having a bath with candles is an ideal way to relax. A candle can also form part of a romantic gesture towards a loved one- simply light the candles and watch how it transforms a good dinner into a great one.
These African style hand-made candles have also become popular souvenirs for tourists to take back home, sharing the African ?spirit? with family and friends. There are three main types of candles that South Africa produces: Frost Painted Candles, Plain Frosted Candles and Hand Painted Candles.
Frost painting is a lovely way to turn an ordinary looking candle into a work of art. Traditionally, South African candle makers keep to African themed style. These styles include an African sunset, animal prints of the big five (Elephant, Rhino, Lion, Leopard and Buffalo), the two oceans and safari inspired frosting.
A plain frosted Africa candle usually incorporates natural colours, for instance pastel colours. The reason behind using pastel colours is that studies have revealed that these colours are associated with relaxation and peace, which is why they?re often used to reduce stress while enjoying a warm bath or to create a warm environment for a candle lit dinner.
African style hand painted candles is often used as decor as well. They add style and elegance to a home, restaurant and other types of settings. As a gift, hand painted candles can be a more personalised choice than the other candles. For example, on Valentine?s Day the candle can be decorated with hearts and other romantic symbols.
Crafted by multi skilled artists who transform candles into a masterpiece of originality and innovation, these three types of candles are special in the way they express the culture and style of Africa, offering a unique experience every time they?re used.
These three types of candles will give you the opportunity to have the ?African? experience no matter where you live. Lighting one of these beautiful handmade candles will leave you with the warmth of Africa and the friendless of her people.
I am Greg Jones and I have recently started to give hand painted candles as gifts. This gift shows how you value a person and shares peace and serenity with those close to you.
