Looking for a party lite holiday votive sampler

The miniscule votive candle is offered in virtually every color and scent that you can think of. It wasn't alway this way, votive candles were originally small nondescript candles employed for religious rituals. Today, votives are a favorite selection of numbers of candle enthusiasts because of the compactness and versatility of the small candles.

Votive candles are relatively small round shaped candles, measuring about one and a half inches across and rising to about two and a half inches in height. The votives are generally placed in small cups or glass holders to collect the wax when they are lit. They are typically made from beeswax and paraffin wax.

Votive candles can be burned alone, but a display of different color votives can convey a warm glow and a decorative charm to any room. Votives are very effective at setting the right mood in smaller areas, like a bathroom. A packaged set of votives in a number of colors and fragrances makes for an outstanding and inexpensive gift for every occasion.
