Description
This sandalwood scented candle marks a 50th birthday with a round silver medallion on the front of its clear jar and a polished silver lid to match. At the centre of the medallion a large 50th sits above a ribbon reading BIRTHDAY and a row of three small stars. The outer ring counts the half century in several measures: 50 years, 600 months, 2609 weeks, 18262 days, 438300 hours and 26297438 minutes. The candle itself is white, so the silver details stand out crisply, and the whole piece is 8.5cm tall and 7.6cm across, a compact size that sits comfortably in one hand.
It makes a thoughtful 50th birthday gift, one that is opened on the day and enjoyed long after the party as the warm scent of sandalwood drifts through a room. We like it on a mantelpiece, a sideboard or a bedside table, where the silver medallion catches the light and the numbers invite a second look. Because it is small, it tucks easily into a gift bag beside a card, or sits on a birthday table among the cards on the day itself. The tally of months, weeks and minutes tends to raise a smile, which is half the fun of a milestone present.
The lid lifts straight off before you light the wick and sits back on once the flame is out and the candle has cooled, keeping dust away between uses. For a clean burn, trim the wick before each lighting, keep the candle on a level surface away from draughts and anything that could catch, and never leave a burning candle unattended. To keep the medallion and lid bright, dust them with a soft dry cloth. Wrapped in tissue with a handwritten card, it is a small, considered present that says happy 50th in more ways than one.
