aromatherapy candles

My family thinks of me as being the queen of gift baskets. I always have a lot of fun giving gift baskets. When my boss broke his leg skiing, I naturally sent a gift basket instead of a get well card. It was full of things for him to do while waiting for his leg to heal. I put in magazines, books, games, and a portable DVD player with some movies. His family loved it. Once his leg healed his son took over the portable DVD player. Now with Christmas quickly coming, I am striving to make the best Christmas gift baskets ever for my friends and family.

Each year I try to work with a theme. That way I get to be creative, but have similar enough baskets that no one feels anyone else got the better basket. That was one of the first things I learned when I started giving gift baskets for Christmas. I gave completely different baskets to everyone that year. It was way too much work. I find that going with a common theme reduces the work load but I can still make them individual.

This year I am going with aromatherapy candles. There are so many wonderful aromatherapy candles available it will be easy to create individual gift baskets full of aromatherapy candles. Some of the gift baskets will only have aromatherapy candles. Others I will just add a couple of aromatherapy candles as the final touch. I got the idea when I was checking out the North Bay Emporium store that is located at www.northbayemporium.com. I was inspired by the gift baskets they have already created. As soon as I saw their 2 -Pack Scented Pillar Candle Sets(Pack of 6) I knew they were perfect for my gift baskets. There are several people who would fall in love with these candles just like I did. They also make great accents for the other gifts I have picked out already.

It is going to be a Christmas full of aromatherapy candles. Not only am I using them for my Christmas gift baskets but I am filling my home with them. It is amazing how much aromatherapy candles can add to a home, both in appearance and scent. I think I am going to be using them all year round, not just at Christmas time. I found quite a few candles at North Bay Emporium I want to try.
