3. Self Extinguishing Candle

The candle is not an ordinary one.
It is a self-extinguishing candle and a great conversation piece because the story behind the coil candle itself makes it very interesting.
The coil candle used to be called ‘courting candle’ in older times as the parents could easily set the candle to go off after a certain period of time.
A bit of history and modern design! The wick burns 20 minutes for every inch that is pulled through the clip so the recipient can set the burn time by themself.
P.S: Refills are also available for purchase!
