Branded Candles: Merch that Matters

Branded Candles: Merch that Matters

If you're anything like me, I know you put a lot of thought and effort into designing your logo and branding for your company.

Once you have that branding, what do you do with it? Where does it go? Where are you putting that carefully designed logo? Are you thinking as carefully about the places it goes and the products it goes on as you did about the logo itself? 

In other words, when it comes to branded merch and swag for your company, are you still thinking about the values and aesthetic your brand represents? Or are you putting your logo on the easiest, most cost effective solution you can find? 

You're proud of your logo and your business. Now make sure you're putting your logo on something you're proud of, too.

3 Perfect Candles for Grandparents Day Gifts

Every year, on the Sunday after Labor Day, Grandparents Day is celebrated in the United States. As the story goes, the holiday was first suggested to President Nixon in 1969 in a 

letter written by a 9-year child advocating for a day to celebrate Grandparents. 

Officially, Grandparents Day was proclaimed to be a national holiday by President Carter in 1978. 

For Grandparents Day 2022, celebrated this year on Sunday, September 11th, we've put together this list of 3 candles that would make perfect gifts for Grandparents Day.

What are the Best Employee Gifts? 3 Things to Consider This Year

What are the Best Employee Gifts? 3 Things to Consider This Year

Gift giving isn't always easy. We stress about what the recipient wants, what fits in the budget, and will it get there on time?

Corporate gift giving can be just as stressful, especially if you're not sure where to start and you're trying to find quality employee gifts in bulk. 

Well, the team here at Scented Designs is here to help! We believe that employee gifting (or client gifts, or corporate gifts, or whatever gifts you're trying to come up with) shouldn't be difficult or stressful.

It should be simple, straightforward, and stress-free. 

Can You Take Soy Candles on a Plane?

Can You Take Soy Candles on a Plane?

As you go about your holiday shopping, one important consideration is whether or not you’ll be able to travel with the soy candles or other gifts you’re planning on bringing to your family and friends. Not really a problem if you’re driving, but sometimes an issue if you’re flying home for the holidays.

Not only do you want to avoid those pesky baggage fees if you’re able (no olive oil gifts, here) but there’s also nothing worse than arriving at the airport and going through security only to find that you have a prohibited item that needs to be tossed out or mailed.

So, the question is, Can you take soy candles on a plane?
