How to Find Long Lasting Candles

Aug 7, 2009 08:54 PM

You don't need to spend a lot of money to enjoy the ambience of real candles. A certain type of candle lasts longer than most others, and it is among the most inexpensive available.

Visit a dollar store, Big Lots, or the "markdown rack" at your local department store.

Look for tall candles in clear glass containers. Usually, the wax will appear to contain a large number of "bubbles." They come in various colors, and the wax may seem slightly "greasy" to the touch.

Tips

  • The large version of this candle is generally about 10 inches tall, and will burn for up to 7 days. Smaller versions also exist.
  • The larger ones may be labeled "7-day candles." They are sometimes used in religious ceremonies.

Warnings

  • The wax in these candles may contain animal products. If you have an ethical objection to this, you may prefer common paraffin wax candles.
