Description
This sandalwood scented candle marks a 70th birthday with a round embossed silver medallion on the side of its clear vessel. At the centre the medallion reads 70th Birthday on a ribbon banner with three small stars beneath it, and around its rim runs a ring of the years told in other units: 70 years, 840 months, 3652 weeks, 25567 days and 613620 hours, with the minutes counted too. Inside sits white wax around a single wick, and a round silver lid closes neatly over the top. It stands 8.5cm tall and 7.6cm across, a tidy size for a side table or a shelf.
It makes a thoughtful birthday gift for anyone turning seventy, and the figures around the medallion give everyone something to read out and smile at over cake. Set it on a dressing table, a bedside table, a mantelpiece or a sideboard in the living room, where the soft scent of sandalwood can settle into the room once the wick is lit. Because the lid fits back on between burns, the candle keeps its neat look on the shelf long after the party is over, a quiet reminder of a special day.
The silver lid has a bright, mirror-like shine, and the raised lettering on the medallion catches the light, so the candle looks finished even before it is lit. Keep the lid on when it is not burning to keep dust off the wax, and wipe the lid and the outside of the vessel with a soft dry cloth. As with any candle, stand it on a stable, level surface away from draughts, curtains and anything that could catch, trim the wick before lighting, and never leave a burning candle unattended. For the day itself, we like it wrapped on its own for the guest of honour, or set beside the card and flowers.
