Description
This sandalwood scented candle marks an 80th birthday with a round silver seal on the front of its jar and a smooth silver lid on top. The seal reads 80th Birthday across a ribbon banner, with three small stars beneath, and around its edge it counts out eighty years as 960 months, 4174 weeks, 29220 days, 701280 hours and 42075901 minutes, a charming way to sum up a lifetime in numbers. The wax is white, so the silver and white together look crisp and fresh. It stands 8.5cm tall and 7.6cm across, a neat size that sits comfortably in one hand.
We think it makes a thoughtful 80th birthday gift, one that keeps the occasion in view long after the cards have come down. With its lid on, it sits happily as a keepsake on a mantelpiece, bookshelf or dressing table. Lift the lid and light the wick, and the sandalwood fragrance brings a gentle warmth to a living room or bedroom, on the evening of the party and on quiet evenings afterwards. Its small footprint suits a side table or the middle of a birthday tea table, where it adds a soft glow without crowding the plates and the cake.
The round lid sits over the top of the jar to keep dust off the wax between uses, and the silver seal is fixed to the front so the message faces out wherever you place it. Dust the lid and the seal with a soft dry cloth to keep the silver looking bright. As with any candle, stand it on a stable, level surface away from draughts, curtains and anything that could catch, trim the wick before each lighting, and never leave a burning candle unattended. For gifting, pop the lid on and tie a ribbon around the jar beneath the seal; the seal tells everyone exactly which birthday you are celebrating.
