Bridgewater Candle Company Giveaway

For more than 10 years Bridgewater Candle Company has captured the Snapshots of Life.  Scent is so closely linked with memories of people, places and events, that when you’re burning a Bridgewater Candle, the fragrances that linger in your home or in your past are forever linked to special moments and memories, your Snapshots of Life.

Shoreline Tea Light from Bridgewater Candle Company – tea light holder not included

Bridgewater Candle Company provides a good quality candle in different scents and colors to match the décor of your home.  Their collections include pillars, votives and tea lights, and of course the always popular jar candle, which is spectacularly designed to blend perfectly into your home, no matter your decorating taste.

Even after you have decided which type of candle you want, choosing a fragrance might take awhile, since you have 35 to choose from!

The jar candles are made from a NATURAL SOY BLEND that is formulated for maximum fragrance and long burn times.  They burn evenly and light fast, and I found them to be excellent.  I received the new Shoreline Scent, which not only I, but my husband also liked very much, it’s a cool fragrance reminiscent of days at the beach (or in our case on board a cruise deck that’s anchored in the middle of the ocean!).  I lit it in our bedroom, and after the flame was extinguished, we were able to fall asleep to the aroma – awesome. 

For every jar candle sold, Bridgewater donates money to feed one orphaned child for one day.  Everyday.  How wonderful is that?

They also produce a Special Edition Candle, and this Spring 2011, it is Frankie’s Candle.   The inspiration and scent for Frankie’s Candle came from the love of a mother.  A mother in Haiti, who knew she would not likely survive long after her child’s birth.  She prepared a bag for her child with his things and a bottle of her perfume, so he could remember how she smelled.   When you open the box, not only are you delighted by the smell, but the children you are helping with your purchase become ‘real’ when you are greeted by this adorable face.  It might seem a little early but this would be a great Mother’s Day gift for someone you love.

Frankie was adopted by an American family, who long to make a difference for orphaned children like Frankie.  How appropriate for Bridgewater Candle Company to make this candle because the memory of that fragrance to Frankie is indeed a “Snapshot of Life”. 

Not only is this candle beautifully scented, the container the wax is poured in, has the imprints of a tiny hand.  It is a work of art on its own.  Together with ‘Rice Bowls’, Bridgewater Candle Company uses the net proceeds of the Frankie Candle to feed one child for one week.
