Bee Happy Beeswax Votive Gift Set

Bee Happy is the easy gift: a hostess gift, a thank-you gift, a good news celebration gift. Great small gifts for a teacher, a neighbor, a coworker. Three yellow beeswax votives and the glass holder they glow in, wrapped in a ribboned box and topped with a bee-theme card.

• 15-17 hours of burn time in a glass votive holder - one candle covers several evenings.
• Holder included - open the box and it's ready to light.
• No fragrance added - just the sweet honey note the wax brings with it from the beehive.

Inside the box: three yellow 100% pure Pacific Northwest beeswax votives, one US-made glass votive holder, a bee-themed card with room for your message, and a ribbon on the box.

Under $20? It ships for $9 anywhere in the US.

Why beeswax is an easy candle to give

The hard part of giving a candle is the scent. The one you love might be the one they can't stand, or the one that sets off a headache. Bee Happy takes the guess out: pure beeswax with no fragrance oils, no essential oils, and nothing added, so it meets the EPA's definition of fragrance-free. What's left is the delicate honey note the bees left in the wax. There's no perfume or fragrance oil here, just the beeswax. Nobody can promise how one person will react to any scent, so if every scent bothers them, honey included, they can light one votive first and see.

Is a beeswax candle a good hostess gift?

It's one of the few gifts that can be used the same night. No added fragrance means it won't compete with dinner, and because the votive holder is included, this gift is ready to use. Three votives will provide weeks of cozy evenings, and the card gives you somewhere to write the thank-you note.

Refills: our beeswax votives in packs of 4, 12, and 40, or a second glass votive holder so two can burn at once. Sending it to someone who's having a harder time? Silver Linings is the quieter version.
