Gift giving isn't always easy. We stress about what the recipient wants, what fits in the budget, and will it get there on time?

Corporate gift giving can be just as stressful, especially if you're not sure where to start and you're trying to find quality employee gifts in bulk. 

Well, the team here at Scented Designs is here to help! We believe that employee gifting (or client gifts, or corporate gifts, or whatever gifts you're trying to come up with) shouldn't be difficult or stressful.

It should be simple, straightforward, and stress-free. 

Candles are some of our favorite things, and, since you're here, we bet you love them too!

That's why we are so excited to be getting ready to celebrate World Candle Month with you this September 2022. 

With September just a few days away, we wanted to take a minute and share with you a little bit about the history of World Candle Month before we get to the celebrations all month long!

Want to learn a little bit more about how we got into corporate gifting?

First, a little bit about how our small candle company started making thousands of candles for companies across the United States.

The decision to turn to corporate gifting wasn't one we as a small business consciously made. Instead, we were asked by one of the leading tech companies in Silicon Valley - PayPal - to provide employee holiday gifts. 

Welcome to Scented Designs Candle Company! We are a woman-owned company in the heart of Silicon Valley, California and we've been in business hand-pouring our soy candles since 2016. 

From corporate holiday gifts to custom corporate gifts any time of year, we have created thousands of unique corporate gifts for employees and clients alike. 

So, what can we do for your company? 

Here are 3 Ways We Can Help You Create the Perfect Employee or Client Gift. 

Here at Scented Designs Candle Company, we've been making our hand poured soy candles for 6 or 7 years now, and we've learned a thing or two about candle wax in this time. Over the years, a common question we've heard from customers at crafts shows or online is if soy wax is skin safe, or even if soy wax is good for your skin. 

Are Soy Candles better? If you find yourself wondering if soy candles are better than other candles out there, the short answer is "Yes."

Sure, we may be biased since we make soy wax candles, but - trust us - we did our research before learning how to make soy candles and beginning our handmade soy candle business based in San Jose, California.

Here's what we've learned about soy candles in our 10 years of candle-making experience. 

Eco Friendly Candles:

It matters what goes into the candles you're burning in your home. You already know that soy candles are a better, more environmentally-friendly choice than paraffin candles.

The qualities of wick and oils are equally important in making a candle safe for you and good for the air. Know what you're buying (and stay away from candles that say soy wax blend!)

Let's be real. Moms are the best. And having one day a year to appreciate them isn't nearly enough. But it's a start - especially if you show them some love through a unique, thoughtful gift that will bring them joy and relaxation (especially these days...).

Bonus: all these candles will also make their house smell wonderful while they're staying at home.

After all, the best Mother's Day gifts are gifts that are both meaningful and useful.

Here are 5 of our soy candles & collections that moms and mother figures are sure to love.

The weather is cooling off, it's getting dark earlier, and Starbucks has released their Pumpkin Spice Latte. That only means one thing: it's time for fall candle scents to take center stage!

Not all candles are created equal.

And if you're a candle lover, you may have already discovered that for yourself! Whether your candle doesn't smell after the first burn, or if it never burns to the edge and wastes tons of wax, you've probably seen plenty of candles that are a bit sub-par.

And then when you get that scented candle that is just glorious, it's such a feeling of ahhhh.
