They're great for adding a warm, cozy touch to birthdays, weddings, parties, or just as table decoration. When it comes to maintenance, keep them in a cool place to avoid melting. Remember, extreme heat during storage or shipping can impact the candles, so be careful where you store them. Enjoy these candles for up to 3 - 4 hours of gentle light.
