Hotwicks Review & Giveaway!


Have you ever wished you could find a candle that reminded you of something? Or, a favorite smell you have never been able to find in candle form? I found this innovative company called Hotwicks that does just that! Hotwicks carries numerous ‘interesting’ smelling candles that are really quite unique. Some of Hotwicks scents may be smells that you could imagine in a candle, whereas others might be ones you would have never thought of. Some candles they carry include, The Coffee Candle, The Pancake Candle, The New Car Candle, and The Beer Candle. Each of Hotwick candle is handmade in the USA and comes packaged in an 8 oz. candle tin.

On Hotwicks website, you will find amusing descriptions of each candle. In addition, on the ‘Suggest a Scent page’ you can submit your own ideas and read what others have submitted.

**Please be warned that some of the candle names are not family appropriate.

Review
I had a chance to try a couple Hotwicks candles for myself. Hotwicks sent me one coffee candle and one popcorn candle. Because I have always loved the smell of coffee, I figured this would be the perfect one for me. I love the smell of fresh popcorn as well but I had never considered it a possible candle scent. When I first smelled both candles, I was quite impressed. The coffee candle smelled exactly like an aromatic coffee shop and the popcorn candle reminded me of the movies. Even though I was unsure of the popcorn candle before I received it, I am quite impressed. I absolutely love it’s uniqueness! Both candles have a very nice scent and they are not too strong. Hotwicks candles would make great gifts for the hard to buy for or wonderful additions to your home. These candles would definitely be a conversation starter!
