Mother's Day Gift Guide - Precious Gem Candles Review & #Giveaway

I don't know about you, but two of my very favorite things are jewelry and candles. When I go to get a gift for a female friend, I almost always get them one of these two things. Well, now I can get them both in one fun and exciting package thanks to Precious Gem Candles. They make wonderful scented soy candles that come in large jars for a great low price. But they also offer one advantage that you aren't going to find with any other candle company. Every single candle contains a gemstone valued anywhere between $20 and $5000!

I was lucky enough to receive a Precious Gem Candle to review. Picking a scent was a very difficult choice because they have so many fun varieties including Orange Cream, Lemongrass, Lavender Lane, Silver Fir and so many more. I decided on the Amber Romance because that's the scent of my favorite lotion.  This is a blend of  black cherry, vanilla and sandalwood. It was the perfect choice for me. The light earthy scent really brightens up the room. Because the candle is soy based, it burns evenly without creating any black soot. I have been burning it for several days and have only used up about a third of the large candle. At only $44.95 a piece, they are a great deal before you even get to the gemstone that is hidden inside the wax. 

I was dying of curiosity about which gemstone I was going to get, so of course I started burning the candle the second it arrived. By day two, I finally saw a little piece of foil sticking out. An hour so later, I was able to fish it out of the wax with a pair of tweezers. Don't worry that the stone will be covered in wax and hard to clean. It came inside a little glass vial that was wrapped in foil, so it didn't get one drop of wax of it. The gemstone I found seems to be either a ruby or garnet. It's tiny but beautiful and a great way  to start my collection. You can continue to buy candles and save up your gemstones. Once you have a few, check out their do-it-yourself jewelry that allows you to set your stones.

If you would like to get a Precious Gem Candle for yourself, they are available exclusively in their online website. Also keep them in mind for Mother's Day because candles and jewelry are two of the top gifts on every mom's list. They even offer free shipping on all candles! Plus every time you buy one of these fabulous soy candles, you'll have the excitement of wondering if maybe you'll be the big winner!  But either way, you never lose because you're always getting an awesome soy candle whose sweet scents will linger long after you've extinguished the flame.
