The Perfect Pear Candle Box*
Adorable and unique the perfect pair candle box is one of our most popular wedding favors.
The box is elegantly decorated with a delicate satin ribbon to please the eyes as well as your sense of smell. Lift the lid and there they are: golden yellow pear candles, each one 1.5 inches in diameter, small and round and unmistakably a pear. It is the kind of favor that makes a guest pause at their place setting, work out the joke, and look across the table at you with a grin.
The Perfect Pear Candle Box is a favor with a pun folded into it, and the pun is the reason it works. Guests do not keep sugared almonds, but they do keep a scented pear candle, and every time it is lit on a windowsill or a bedside table the smell brings back the evening it came from. The satin ribbon around the box makes it a finished gift before anyone unties it, so there is nothing left for you to wrap on the morning of the wedding.
Do not forget to make it unique to your special day by letting your guests know you two are the "Perfect Pair" with our personalized card. The card is the part that carries your wording, so your names, your date or a short line of your own is printed there in-house by HansonEllis and tucked with the favor. That is what turns a pretty box of pear candles into your pretty box of pear candles.
The Perfect Pear Candle Box suits a spring wedding, a garden reception, an engagement party, a bridal shower, an autumn table where the golden yellow sits with the leaves, or a Valentine's Day dinner for two. Set one at each place setting, stack them on a favor table by the door, or build them into a centerpiece and let guests take one as they leave.
Choose your quantity above, add your personalized card wording, and send your guests home with the perfect pear.

Which one should I choose
The same golden yellow pear candle comes three ways at HansonEllis, and the packaging is what changes the look of the table.
| The Perfect Pear Candle Box | Choose it when you want a formal place setting: a small ribboned box, lid on, that reads as a wrapped gift. |
|---|---|
| Perfect Pear Candle in Organza Bag | Choose it when you want the candle visible through sheer fabric and a softer, more romantic look. |
| The Perfect Pear Candle Takeout Box | Choose it when guests need to carry the favor home easily, because the takeout box has a twisted rope handle. |
For a seated dinner the ribboned box looks most finished; for a mingling reception the takeout box with its handle is easier to carry.
