Votive candle holders

Your votive candle holders are perfect accessories for many applications

Votives are some of the most often-purchased candles as they are inexpensive and fit a variety of votive candle holders and other accessories. But votive candle holders need not be used solely for votives – by using your imagination, you can come up with a variety of uses for them beyond simple candle accessories.

Votive holders are a sweet and decorative small change holder that can be used if you always need to have change handy for public transportation, vending machines, or any other purpose. Should you have beaded or slotted votive candle holders, place them on your office desk and thread a strip of stamps through the openings for simple but elegant stamp dispensers. Women, if you’re constantly breaking nails or finding yourself picking at your manicure while at work, bring in votive candle holders in funky patterns and fill them with nail files, cuticle pushers, and small bottles of lotion for an always-handy nail first aid kit.

Of course, you can still use votive holders for their intended purpose. Aromatherapy candles are always a boost for the mind and spirit, but often your workspace at the office is limited. Bring in small scented votives in eye-pleasing patterns and themes, then light your candle at lunch for a 5 to 10-minute meditation pick-me-up session… or just find an inspiring scent and inhale deeply whenever you need it!

Other candle accessories can be coordinated with votive holders to create an ongoing theme. If your home is somewhat bland and you’re a little frightened of going too far with the décor, a votive candle holder can be a small yet splashy accent that’ll allow you to be more adventurous. For a room clad in basic solids, find a leopard-print votive holder and spice up a bookshelf or end table. If you love lush fabrics but find antiques heavy and clunky, a crystal beaded votive candle holder can give you a taste of older fashions without needing a large piece of furniture.

The bathroom is the perfect area for aromatherapy candles, but who wants to take a bubble bath with a giant pillar candle resting on the edge of the tub? Give yourself something pretty to focus on while the scent works its magic by adding a frosted glass or patterned votive candle holder to your tub time.
