New Minus Wicks

We introduced a new line of water based air fresheners for consumers who love candles, but are able not able to burn them.

Minus Wicks were designed to sit on a candle warmer and release fragrance for up to 60 hours as water evaporates. Each Minus Wicks is water based, and does not contain any wax, which allows it to evaporate and release the fragrance.

“Our new line is unique,” said Ben, our director of marketing. “We want to allow our customers who can’t burn candles to be able to enjoy our high quality fragrances without lighting a candle.”

Minus Wicks is available in six new fragrances such as clean cotton, fresh peach, rain drops, cucumber melon and others in an 8 oz. size. Minus Wicks were intended to be used in places where candles are not allowed to be burned such as offices, dorms and apartments. Suggested retail price is $10 each.

This new line has been very popular so far! It was shown at the Housewares Show in Chicago this month, and buyers loved it!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! Only five days left! I love this time of year. Everyone is happier and more giving. It is a fun time.

Our food drive at Smith's Food and Drug was a success! We collected 1,294 food items ( 1,056 cans and 238 other food items) and $143 in cash for the Utah Food Bank. We were excited that so many people were willing to give. We were planning to be at Smith's on Saturday, December 16 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. We had so much success on Saturday that we decided to do it on Monday, December 18 too.

Fox 13 News came and interviewed me on Saturday and aired it that night at 9 and Monday morning. We were excited that so many people were involved. Some people were so generous that they donated large bags full of food and did not ask for a candle. They just wanted to donated to the Utah Food Bank. One lady bought a $50 Smith's gift card so they could buy what they needed. I was impressed at the willingness to give.

We had a lot of success for our first food drive. We'll definitely do it again next year! Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year's!
