How to Use and Care for the Calm Evening Gift Set
Save
The Calm Evening Gift Set includes a lavender ceramic candle, pillow mist, and sachet. Using and caring for each item properly ensures you get the most from this beautifully crafted gift.
Getting Started with Your Calm Evening Gift Set
The Calm Evening Gift Set brings together three simple treasures: a Lavender Ceramic Candle, an 8-ounce Lavender Hydrosol, and a Lavender Wish Sachet. Each piece is hand-packed with care on the Great Lakes Lavender Farm in Michigan. To begin, unwrap the items gently from their gift box with tissue and keep the included gift note as a reminder of the thoughtfulness behind your set. Store unopened items in a cool, dry spot away from direct sunlight to preserve their lavender scent and quality.
Lighting and Enjoying the Lavender Ceramic Candle
The lavender candle is housed in a ceramic container filled with 12 ounces of soy wax scented with Lavender Fields fragrance. To enjoy safely, place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from drafts and anything flammable. Always trim the wick to about 1/4 inch before lighting to reduce soot and uneven burning. Burn the candle for 2 to 3 hours at a time to develop an even wax pool and maximize scent throw. Extinguish with a snuffer or gently blow out to prevent wax splatter. Let the wax cool before moving the candle to avoid spills.
Using the Lavender Hydrosol for Your Pillow and Room
The included lavender hydrosol is a gentle mist made from distilled lavender blossoms. It's perfect for spritzing lightly on your pillowcase or around the bedroom to impart a subtle lavender scent. Hold the bottle 8 to 12 inches away and spray 2 to 4 times as you prefer. Avoid direct spraying onto fabric that may stain or onto eyes and skin. Store the hydrosol with the cap tightly closed and keep it refrigerated after opening for best freshness. Shake gently before use to mix the natural components evenly.
Placing and Refreshing the Lavender Wish Sachet
The Lavender Wish Sachet is designed to fit inside drawers, closets, or small spaces to provide a quiet touch of lavender scent. Place it in a spot where air circulates freely but away from moisture or direct sunlight which can degrade the herbs. Over time, the sachet’s fragrance may gently fade. To refresh the scent, gently pat the sachet or open it briefly to release the lavender oils again. Replace the sachet after several months or if it loses its aroma to enjoy a fresh lavender experience.
Cleaning and Maintaining Your Ceramic Candle Holder
Once the candle has burned down, you can rinse and reuse the ceramic container. To clean, allow the wax to cool and harden fully. Then, gently pry out excess wax with a plastic utensil or warm the container briefly to soften the wax and wipe it away with a paper towel. Wash the ceramic in warm soapy water and dry completely before repurposing. This vessel can also serve as a small planter, pen holder, or decorative cup.
Sustainability and Storage Tips for Longevity
To keep all components of the Calm Evening Gift Set fresh and beautiful, store the candle away from direct heat or sun which could cause discoloration or loss of scent. Keep the hydrosol capped tightly in a cool place after each use. The sachet belongs in dry, ventilated spaces to avoid mold or mildew. Using each item as recommended helps you enjoy the delicate qualities of lavender and adds lasting charm to your home or a thoughtful gift recipient’s space.
