Candle Sales Up As We Spend Evenings In

GUNNISLAKE, U.K. - March 24, 2013 - PRLog -- Candle Sales Up As We Spend Evenings In

Scented candles sales rose by 60% in 2012 compared with 2011 and chandlers say it’s because less of us are eating out and more are dining in.

As consumers feel the squeeze on their weekly budgets, dining out is less of a treat and more of a burden to the finances which is why so many have taken to the dining table and are making a special occasion of their evenings at home.

“Candles bring an ambience to any occasion,” Pippa at Tamar Valley Candles in Albaston, Cornwall explains. “They’re more than just a means of lighting, they make a statement about the home. Fresh, fruity, floral or fun. You can express yourself easily with a candle.”

Candles have been part of our homes for centuries but recently their popularity has begun to soar. Candles are ushering out flowers as gifts as they last longer and can be reused for special occasions.

“A candle makes a fantastic dinner party gift; it’s something more personal than flowers and it can instantly set the mood.” Pippa explains, “Handmade candles are especially thoughtful. Many hours go into their creation with each step meticulously monitored to achieve perfect results; it’s impossible to achieve such results with a mass produced candle.”

Tamar Valley Candles is situated in the quaint Cornish village of Albaston in the Tamar Valley. They specialise in handmade quality candles and offer a range of candle gifts or a bespoke service for weddings and events.
