Father’s Day is just Around the Corner, and with it comes the familiar question.  “What can I get for the man who has everything?”.  ELH Global is here to help! Quality candles are not reserved exclusively for the fairer sex. We carry discreet, tasteful jar candles in scents that will not become an unwanted floral intrusion in a masculine setting.

 You will be impressed with the dignified appeal of our mosaic glass candle shades, and the way in,  which they transform common jar candles into impressive, dignified lamps with gentle lighting.

 We have two choices of shaded candles: blue candle in a clear jar with a black glass mosaic shade in Fresh Cotton scent, or apricot candle in a clear jar with gold toned glass mosaic shade in Vanilla Bliss scent. Both fragrances are noted for their clean, familiar bouquet, and have been known to ease stress and encourage relaxation. The rich scent of vanilla is associated with love, home, comfort, and favorite desserts, while the aroma of fresh cotton reminds us of fresh laundry on a clothes line, fluttering in the gentle summer breeze.

 The versatility of this gift will continue once the original jar candle has been used. Our mosaic shades will fit any standard sized jar candle, so the possibilities of color and fragrance combinations are limited only by the imagination. Imagine if you will the striking red of a bayberry candle at Christmas time, topped by our gold toned glass mosaic shade. Not only pleasing to the eye and our sense of smell, this candle shade will add a gentle golden halo of light to whatever surfaces your candles are placed upon. Consider the elegance of the black mosaic shade over an unscented white jar candle, creating  vivid contrast while keeping the gentle light our shades are known for.

Surprise Dad with a gift for his office or den by purchasing a set of two candles and shades to compliment each other and balance the room when in use. For a whimsical approach in the summer months, compliment the black shades with creamy jar candles in scents such as margarita, pina colada, and vanilla latte. Create an ongoing gift throughout the year for your father by replacing his candles each month with a fresh fragrance. He will look forward to the surprise of a new fragrance, and your time together each month will form a closer bond between you.

This year, remind Dad how much he means to you and show him how much you think of him when you present his gift. He will appreciate the absence of another pair or  socks, or one more garish tie. Make sure he knows how much he is valued and appreciated this year with a special token of your love and respect.

As any father will tell his child, it’s not so much the gift, but the thought behind it that matters the most. Your offering need not be so expensive you go into debt to achieve it, nor so labor intense that you are exhausted by the time the gift is complete. Keep things simple, understated, and meaningful. The value of a father’s love and the bond between father and child is priceless.
