Advantages: Attractive, economical, lovely

Disadvantages: None

If you love to burn candles and have a nice aroma around your home opt for any of the variety of gel candles that are on the market.

Glade and Haze sell some gel candles but they are very expensive. If you look around you can find some in small glasses or glass dishes or bowls that can be used along with other glassware once the candle has burned up.

Wax candles, especially those in big bowls, often burn down through the middle but leave a great deal of useless wax around the outside. That, in my experience, doesn't happen with gel candles. The heat from the wick seems to penetrate all the gel and it simply shrinks.

Unlike wax candles, the gel type seem to burn and burn and burn forever and leave no after smell when you blow them out.

I have managed to buy gel candles in small whiskey glasses for as little as £2.25. A local shop has a really beautiful one in a big glass bowl for £22, the bowl, by itself, would cost at least £10.

Some of the gel candles are plain in colour, although transparent. Others have glitter, shells and lots of bubbles in them. They are really beautiful as a show piece. Some are varigated with chakra or other colours running through them.

Well worth the cost.
