TPO - On Valentine's Day, in addition to familiar choices such as flowers, chocolates or teddy bears, the trend of making gifts by hand is becoming a trend that many young people love. In particular, handmade scented candle making workshops are attracting a large number of young people to participate, bringing unique and memorable experiences.
Not only buying ready-made candles, many young people also choose to participate in scented candle making workshops to create gifts for their loved ones. Participants can directly perform the steps from gluing wicks, pouring wax, choosing fragrances to decorating the product according to their preferences. After only about 30-40 minutes, waiting for the candle to solidify, they can bring it home as a gift.

“The shop has a pre-registration link on the fanpage and Instagram. Customers need to book at least 6 hours in advance so that we can prepare materials such as candle wax, wicks, essential oils, stickers and other decorative accessories. The products made by customers cost from 250,000 to 350,000 VND/cup. There is also a handmade card making service,” said Ms. Minh Thuc, an employee of a shop in Da Nang.

Mr. Nguyen Van Khoa, 28 years old, and his friend are choosing a scent before starting to make candles. Mr. Khoa shared: “My girlfriend and I both love scented candles, especially warm scents like sandalwood or sweet scents like roses. For us, candles are not only for decoration but also to create a relaxing space after a long day. Instead of buying ready-made ones, we both decided to make them ourselves so that every time we light them, not only will the scent spread but they will also bring back beautiful memories. I think a gift made by yourself is always more meaningful, because it contains time, affection and care for each other.” Photo: Ngoc Tham |

Minh Thu, 26, is carefully preparing a surprise gift for her boyfriend who lives far away. Thu said that she and her boyfriend have been together for 4 years, but are currently in a long-distance relationship. She made a box of scented candles herself, hoping that this small gift will bring the warmth of love to him in the cold land of cherry blossoms. "I hope that when he receives this gift, he will feel not only the gentle scent but also the feelings I put into it. Every time he lights the candle, I hope that he will remember the moments we spent together, even though we are far apart, our hearts are always close," Thu emotionally shared. Photo: Ngoc Tham |

Handmade scented candles cost from 200,000 - 300,000 VND/box, depending on ingredients, design and scent. |

Scented candles not only bring relaxation but also improve mood, reduce stress and create a cozy atmosphere. While scents such as amber, lavender, green tea help relax the mind, the scent of roses, wine, bergamot evokes romance and sweetness. Therefore, creating a candle together is not only an interesting experience but also a way for couples to preserve moments together in a very unique way. Each scent carries a story and evokes different emotions. |

Scented candle boxes can also be combined with other products such as flowers, woolen teddy bears or handmade keychains to create meaningful gift combos, conveying love during Valentine's season. |

Ms. Minh Thuc said, “Revenue from products such as flowers, scented candles, woolen teddy bears and handmade keychains increased by 40-50% this Valentine’s Day season. The trend of making gifts by hand not only helps save costs but also creates a unique mark, showing the sincerity of the giver.” Photo: Ngoc Tham |
