That special feeling is in the air. Christmas music is permeating the malls, and online shopping has already reached a fevered pitch. Many folks say they have a tough time finding the exact right Christmas present for a loved one, but buying for your Sister is something no one takes lightly. Depending on your sibling’s age, likes, and dislikes, finding something she’ll love may not be as difficult as you think.
Candles
The safest Gift in the world, because it is one which also suits just about every personality and lifestyle, is a candle. No, not the white tapers your mom uses for the candleholders on the holiday table. Your sister wants a fragrant, glamorous, gorgeous, special candle. And the choices are numerous, to say the least. But one candle stands out among all the rest and is sure to melt (excuse the pun) any girl’s heart. The name of this candle is the Ring Candle. This natural soy wax candle has a list of fragrances that run the gamut from citrus to woodsy and floral to fruity. The candle itself is presented in a cylindrical glass container and exudes several different moods, including energetic, relaxing, and uplifting. But Ring Candles have a charm that is unique since each candle houses deep in its wax, a ring. Some rings are worth $10, and one person in 100 will find a $100 ring. One in 1,000 people will find a $1,000 ring, and one in 5,000 will win a ring worth $5,000. The purchase price of the candles is $24.99, so it is well worth the chances that come with it. You know what they say – diamonds are a girl’s best friend.
