Gift Focus - Nov/Dec 2018 (Issue 110)

This February, Best Kept Secrets is continuing the tradition of love and romance with its beautiful Just Because occasion candles. Each one is handmade with care and exhibits its own romantic sentiment such as “love you to the moon and back,” “be my Valentine,” “you light up my world” and of course “I love you”. These special candles are highly scented with the company’s bestselling Classic Cotton fragrance with plenty of sparkles on top. With 50 hours’ burn time, these candles last far longer than a bunch of flowers and are the perfect gift for that special someone.
