This bulk pack of Stonebriar votive candles arrived double-boxed, with plenty of padding between the boxes, and so all 48 votive candles arrived safely, with none of the little glass candleholder cups broken. The candles were unscented as described (and thus won't clash with any other scents or air fresheners being used in the home). It took 2 wooden safety matches to light the candle we tested; one of those long-handled lighters used for fireplaces and barbeque grills would probably be even easier to use in getting these votive candles lit. We lit the candle we tested at about 12 Noon, and it was still going strong as of 5:00PM.
I can think of so many ways these Stonebriar candles could be used! Since each candle includes a clear glass candleholder, there's no need to get out a spare plate from the dinnerware cupboard, should you need to light a few candles as emergency lighting in a power failure situation. These are almost exactly like the candles people at my church use for their devotions, and would certainly be serviceable for devotional use in any religion. They're also perfect for DIY centerpieces for any festive occasion.
These are simple unscented votive candles, but ready to use with the included candleholders, and very versatile. Highly recommended!
