I am the proud owner of 12 tiny candle jars from Illuminations! All on sale, so the price per jar was less than $3 - I got the autumn (apple pie, pumpkin pie, lemon pie, vanilla, chestnut, banana bread) and Christmas (pine, egg nog, and orange-cranberry - 2 of each). These little jars are just so darn cute - especially with the frosted glass "lamp shade." (I love miniature things, which is one of the weird reasons I went into Neonatal Intensive Care nursing for awhile. lol)

These make darling little gifts, too, tucked into small gift bags or part of a gift basket. I've made lots of "take good care of yourself" gift baskets for friends with flavored teas, soothing music tapes, those sweet little books, fragrenced soaps, incense - that kind of thing. A little more personal to collect the things myself, I think. Now I have some candles to put back in the closet for future use - well, I will save back a few of them! ;)
