They even sell tarts, soaps, and wax roses. Of course, the candles are not limited to greeting candles, so check out the website if you're curious about what they offer!


Here are the candles & scents I chose:
Happy Birthday To You: Summer Breeze
Mommy To Be: Heavenly Chocolate
Have a Purrfect Birthday: Sugar Cookies
LIVE LAUGH LOVE: Mother's Love

This is how I would describe the scents: Mother's Love smells like a mix bouquet of flowers; Heavenly Chocolate smells like brownie batter; Summer Breeze is a perfect bath time fragrance-a light & fresh earthy amber scent; Sugar Cookies smells like a sugary vanilla mixture.


Lighting my candle:


After about 9 hours of burn time (over the course of two days in this case), the foil became visible:


After a total of 21 hours of burn time over the course of four days, it was time to reveal my jewelry! (I had to wait until quite a bit of the foil was showing to get it out because it was really stuck in there!)


Kitchen tongs seemed to work better than tweezers.


The jewelry came wrapped in foil & a little ziplock bag.



REVEALED! I got a ring:



It is not real – what a shame because if those were diamonds, it would be worth a pretty penny! If you compare it to a diamond ring, it feels weightless in comparison!





And finally, my candle with my hidden jewel!



Overall, it was an exciting process. I couldn't wait to start burning the candle once it arrived and I was pretty impatient when it came to getting my jewelry out. After I first saw the foil peeking out after about 9 hours of burn time, I was already trying to pull it out! The scent is wonderful and it really fills the room. Overall, I am happy with the outcome and I can't wait to buy more for friends & family!


  The customization with this company is the best I've found (greetings, scents etc.)

Fun Fact About America's Favorite Cookies

Has anyone else ever noticed this? I thought they changed the name from Samoas to Caramel deLites...until now. Turns out, there are two separate baking companies that produce Girl Scout cookies, which is why they are sold under two different names & are slightly different. 



 Other Girl Scout cookies with different names:
Tagalongs aka Peanut Butter Patties
Do-si-dos aka Peanut Butter Sandwiches
Trefoils aka Shortbreads

Which name do they go by in your area...Samoas or Caramel deLites?
