Illuminating Love: Gifting Tarabusi Creek Candles for Our Anniversary
An anniversary is a time to celebrate the enduring love and shared moments that have enriched our journey together. As we seek a gift that embodies the warmth and depth of our relationship, consider the exquisite art of gifting Tarabusi Creek’s artisan soy candles. These candles, infused with the essence of our connection, bring a unique charm and eco-conscious luxury to our anniversary celebration.
Soy candles hold a special significance due to their eco-friendly nature and clean-burning properties. Gifting a soy candle represents more than a simple token; it is a gesture that illuminates our path forward, just as soy emits a pure and natural glow. Choosing Tarabusi Creek’s artisan soy candles for our anniversary mirrors the sustainable light that our journey has cast upon our lives, symbolizing the enduring flame of our love.
Tarabusi Creek has gained renown for its craftsmanship in creating artisan soy candles that transcend mere objects, becoming true works of art. Each soy candle is meticulously crafted, infused with scents that evoke cherished memories and the tranquility of a serene creek. The use of soy wax not only ensures a clean burn but also embraces our commitment to a healthier environment. The gentle flicker and captivating fragrance of these candles set the perfect ambiance, making them an ideal choice to honor our anniversary.
When selecting a Tarabusi Creek candle as an anniversary gift, consider the scents that resonate with our relationship. Is there a particular aroma that transports us to a cherished memory or a shared experience? Whether it’s the invigorating scent of a forest breeze or the soothing aroma of a calming sea, Tarabusi Creek offers a diverse range of scents to choose from, each capable of encapsulating the essence of our journey together.
The candles we chose:
Yeti Soy Candle (Cryptid Collection)
The Yeti is a bipedal ape-like creature that inhabits the Himalayan mountain range. He’s covered in brown grey or white hair and is suspected to have large sharp teeth. He is also referred to as the Abominable Snowman occasionally.This candle is scented with a bright, refreshing blend of pure peppermint with hints of crisp mint and sweet vanilla.
What to expect :- 4 oz by volume
- Burn time of approximately 15 to 20 hours
- Vegan, plant-based soy wax to provide the cleanest burn possible
Scent Notes: fresh mint, peppermint, sweet vanilla
Scent strength: ★★★★☆
Ichabod Soy Candle (Cryptid Collection)
I think we all know the spooky tale of Ichabod Crane and the Legend of Sleepy Hollow, which began with a schoolmaster who wanted to court his love interest and ended with the Headless Horseman throwing his pumpkin head at him as Ichabod fled. Headless horsemen are often called a variety of different names, and tend to be native to the New England colonies of the Americas.
This candle is scented with a comforting, inviting fall blend of cinnamon, pumpkin and buttercream highlighted with hints of smoked nutmeg.
What to expect :- 4 oz by volume
- Burn time of approximately 15 to 20 hours
- Vegan, plant-based soy wax to provide the cleanest burn possible
Scent Notes: buttercream, clove, pumpkin, cinnamon, smoke, nutmeg
Scent strength: ★★★★☆For best results:
- Burn your candle all the way to the edge whenever you burn it for the best possible lifetime!
- Soy wax, due to its nature, means your candle may have more bumps, funny lumps, and textures than the alternative wax.
- Note that this is totally normal, and doesn’t affect the burn of your candle at all.
- Keeping your wick trimmed to a quarter inch will help with any strange looking flames, too.
- And, please, don’t leave unattended!
Unlike many gifts that may lose their luster over time, a Tarabusi Creek candle continues to provide comfort, warmth, and ambiance for hours on end. As we enjoy the gentle flicker of the candle and inhale its captivating fragrance, we’ll be reminded of the depth of our love and the significance of our anniversary. In a world filled with fleeting trends and material possessions, the gift of a Tarabusi Creek candle stands as a timeless symbol of love, connection, and cherished memories. As we celebrate another year of shared laughter, trials, and triumphs, consider gifting a Tarabusi Creek candle for our anniversary – an enduring token of our affection that will illuminate our journey together for many anniversaries to come.

Kathleen Plate, the talented artist behind Smart Glass Jewelry, has always loved to create beautiful things. The seeds of her love affair with glass were planted in childhood, when her mother taught her how to solder and work with stained glass. One of Kathleen’s gifts is understanding the strengths of different tools and techniques, and then using them (often unexpectedly!) for new applications. As a graduate student and in need of a gift for a friend’s birthday, Kathleen made a pair of earrings out of glass, applying her unique perspective. The earrings were a total success and so, the path began!
The entire process, from dumpster diving for empties to styling the perfect piece of jewelry for a night out on the town is part of my art.
Born and raised in Cathlamet, a small town in Washington State, her small-town roots are evident in her minimalist, “keep it simple” design philosophy. Now residing in Atlanta, Georgia, you’ll find her every day in her studio, tinkering and creating, and hitting the occasional dumpster at night.
When not in the studio, Kathleen loves to travel (and has visited every country in Latin America!), has swum with Whale Sharks, is terrified of blue eels, and is currently learning Spanish. She just completed her second Master’s degree, just for fun.
