Tantalize the Senses

Some of us are very scent-driven. This means that smell can control our moods. I'm one of those people. If I smell something nice, it boosts my mood and that's one reason why I have to burn candles.

My life is highly stressed, so I am always looking for ways to relieve it. When I spy a nice candle, I buy it. Heck, I'll buy cheap candles when they have a nice scent. I even have some flameless candles, also known as wickless candles, where I melt the wax in a wax warmer.

With Mother's Day coming up and all of us needing to find Mother's Day gifts, candles can be fantastic. This is especially true when considering candles that are a bit different than your usual candle. You don't want to get her something she can buy just anywhere or something that is going to lose its scent after a few burns, so go different.

So if you're looking for a great gift, give candles a whirl...but remember to not go for the usual. Instead, be a little different.
