Mango Wood Candles

While I’m a firm believer that the world doesn’t need another candle, I changed my mind when I saw these from Himalayan Trading Post. They’re hand-carved Mango wood candles made to look like old teak spice pots used in Indian kitchens, and the candles themselves are a mix of beeswax, soy wax, and essential oils. Available in two sizes and made to order in one of many scents including Birch Leaf, Campfire, Green tea, and Lemongrass, Honeysuckle, Orange Grove, Peony and Sage and Pomegranate. The best part: the whole thing is reusable. When the candle burns down you can refill it using a kit from the same company or just use the container for something else. $23 and $45 at www.himalayantradingpost.com or 770-761-6761 – Rima Suqi
