India Hicks first came on my radar when I started watching “Top Design” on Bravo last year. While her show hosting skills may be lacking, the woman certainly has a boatload of beauty and style.

So it only makes sense that when she teamed up with Crabtree & Evelyn, the result would be to die for.

The India Hicks Island Night Scented Candle (pictured above) is poured into indigo glass and wrapped in a bracelet of silvery coral and features the fragrant essence of a moonlit tropical garden. The candle measures 4 inches in height and 3 inches in width, burns for approximately 50 Hours, and costs $42. Buy it here.

Or how about this India Hicks Island Living Casuarina Scented Candle (pictured below) in a hand-crafted rattan basket that features 45 hours of burn time and costs $35. Buy it here.

For those on a budget, Crabtree & Evelyn also offers this Naturals Mint, Fennel & Ivy Candle (see below), which is crafted from non-toxic natural plant waxes and beeswax and features 45 hours of burn time. It’s not created by India Hicks, but it is on sale for $15 right now. Buy it here.

Color Changing Candle.net makes color changing candles either with a wick (that burn) or without (they can be turned “on” and “off”) that are LED (light emitting diode) battery operated. They also offer a patented process that can print any photo, picture or image in full color on a candle. Their color changing candles with full color photos printed on them are being used in the Vancouver 2010 Olympics.

The color changing candles contain LED chips embedded at the base of each candle. When the wick is lit, an optical sensor inside the candle relays a signal to the chip which in turn produces unique color changes within the candle every few seconds until the flame is blown out. Some candles have no wick, and continue to change color without ever burning or being used. Both types have seven color changes, plus all the shades in between.

I was browsing the candle holder section recently, and I came across some beauties.

This blue and green glass candle holder is pretty alone, but when a lit candle is added, the arches and swirls are highlighted. The candle holder will hold a candle 2″ in diameter. The width at the top is 3 1/2″ at the widest point, and it’s 4″ tall at the highest point.

This three-sided candle holder was made with clear textured and mirrored glue chip glass and is adorned with blue nuggets and a clear glass seashell. Each side measures 4″ long, and tea light candles are recommend to avoid candle wax from getting into the crevasses of the glass.

This glass candle holder, measuring 4.25″ by 4.5″, is hand etched on heavy weight glass and wrapped with tree branches and snow flakes. The snow flakes are etched both inside and out, creating a unique three-dimensional scene, and the branches cast their shadow on any surface. A tea light is both recommended and included. Each candle holder is a signed original.

I’ll never forget my eighth birthday, when I had a slumber party and all my friends crowded around me while I blew out the candles on my cake. Imagine my surprise when, after making a wish and blowing out the candles…they re-lit like magic!

Of course, now that I’m adult, I realize that it’s really science behind those magical birthday candles.

“Normal” birthday candles have burning embers in the wicks that cause a ribbon of paraffin smoke to rise from the wicks (the embers are hot enough to vaporize paraffin but not hot enough to ignite the paraffin vapor). Re-lighting candles, on the other hand, have an extra something added to the wicks that the embers are hot enough to ignite, which means the embers ignite this substance, which in turn ignite the paraffin vapors.

The most common substance used for this purpose is magnesium, a metal that burns rapidly at an ignition temperature as low as 800 degrees F. Magnesium is located inside the burning wick, where it is shielded from oxygen and cooled by liquid paraffin. When the flame is blown out, magnesium dust is ignited by the ember, casting sparks, one of whch will produce the heat necessary to re-light the paraffin vapor, thus “magically” relighting the candle.
