One of the simplest ways to add some holiday spirit to any room of the house is to decorate with holiday-scented candles or wax melts and tea light warmers. Handmade holiday-themed candles or hot toddy wax melts/candle tarts make a great gift, too. For more than the usual drugstore selection, consider looking for distinctive handmade candles and candle products, such as those crafted by Kentucky's Hillbilly Hobbies.
Scented Handmade Candles Add Holiday Spirit to Any Home
Almost every drugstore and grocery store carries scented candles in all sizes and shapes that will help accentuate the holiday season by spicing up the air. Typical scents available include the piney freshness of a Christmas tree and the spicy cinnamon tones of warm apple pie. And because candles are relatively inexpensive (with cost depending on the size, shape, and candle maker), they make for one of the easiest and most inexpensive ways to decorate for the holidays.
Try Hot Toddy Wax Melts for Something Different
For something a little different, consider trying out hot toddy wax melts/candle tarts. The user places a wax melt in a tart burner/tea light warmer, lights a candle, and allows the delicious aroma of the scented wax to permeate the room. Another option is to purchase an electric tea light warmer, which uses the heat of electricity to warm up the wax melt. Hot toddy wax melts can be used over and over again, making it easy to change the aroma in the air at will.
Fragrant Holiday Candles/Wax Melts Make a Great Gift, Too
Consider putting together an assortment of holiday-themed candles or hot toddy wax melts (or both) to create a distinctive yet inexpensive Christmas gift. Couple both holiday-scented candles and/or wax melts along with other scents for a gift that can be enjoyed year-round. Add to the gift by choosing a tea light warmer/tart burner (typically for under $20) that suits the recipient's tastes.
Distinctive Handmade Candles and Wax Melts
Discovering more unique scents and candle choices is as easy as looking beyond the drugstore and grocery store shelves. Gift shops and boutiques often offer an array of candle products that are handcrafted, giving the shopper the opportunity to enjoy that inimitable handmade touch, along with unique scents and shapes.
Another option is to order online from a candle maker, such as Kentucky's Hillbilly Hobbies. Hillbilly Hobbies sells its scented, handmade candles in wide-mouth jars for $7 each and hot toddy wax melts for $.50 apiece, plus tax and shipping. Candle holiday scents available include the following:
- Candy Cane

Spice Up the Holidays with Seasonally Scented Candle Products
Available at most drugstores and grocery stores, the seasonal fragrances of holiday-themed candle products can help bring holiday traditions to life. Hot toddy wax melts offer a different way to enjoy the fragrances of the season. Holiday-scented candles and/or hot toddy wax melts plus a tea light warmer make for an inexpensive yet distinctive holiday gift. For a wider selection of holiday-themed candles, look for handcrafted candle products, such as those made by Kentucky's Hillbilly Hobbies.
