Why you should send a candle on Valentine's Day?

Valentine’s Day is a day that romance and love are in the air, why should we have to limit it to a singular day? Why not have a longer-lasting gift that every time you smell it reminds you of the person who gave it to you. A candle is the perfect idea. 

It’s a meaningful and personal gift, choosing the particular scent for your loved one that you feel will suit them the most. It doesn’t matter if you choose it for a specific room in the house or because you know that the person receiving it will appreciate it, they will recognise how well you truly know them. 

Scents can cause nostalgia, and an influx in serotonin levels, a centred candle has the power to evoke strong emotional reactions and they have an effect on how we all feel. Smell is one of the most powerful senses, more powerful than we realise, a particular fragrance can trigger happy memories and create happy memories. Gifting a candle to someone you love will enhance their mood every time it is relit, as the aroma blends in the air. 

Candles are long-lasting, they won’t just be enjoyed for one day they can be enjoyed for many weeks, unlike flowers that fade and wilt so quickly or chocolates that are very quickly consumed. A candle is, much more than a simple short-lived romantic gesture, it is a gift that can be enjoyed for many weeks after and enjoyed by others too. 

We all know that a candlelit Dinner is a bit of a cliché, but they are not, it has been scientifically proven that it can add more romance to a setting. The soft light that they create makes our pupils dilate and makes us more appealing to the onlooker, so it’s a perfect thing to buy. 

Whether it is a Valentine’s Day gift you are looking for or a special treat to someone you love, candles have to be one of the number one choices, so treat your loved one to an Arbrook Candle this Valentine's Day!
