Are you looking for a fun gift to send to your friends, family or co-workers? Why not a monthly curated candle gift box? VellaBox has all sorts of options for quantity and duration perfect for any budget.

This one came with a frosted glass jar with a dear silhouette candle that is firewood spice scented from Glint Candles and an Amber Vanilla scented candle from Often Wander.

Inside the  VellaBox the candles are wrapped in a pretty piece of fabric tied with a bit of string. There is also a snack included from This Bar Saves Lives a company that gives food to children in need. I love how they decorated the inside box with a pretty sticker that features the quote,

“Anyone who thinks fallen leaves are dead has never watched them dance on a windy day”

Everyone I know loves to get a surprise in the mail and this VellaBox is the perfect gift to send out to all my friends and family.
