A tea-light is a smaller version of a votive. It is wider than it is tall and usually comes in a metal container. As it burns it liquifies like a votive. They can be used for warming food, warming tea, for decor, and for religious services. They can be found scented or unscented. Most generally they are made from paraffin wax. They are inexpensive and can be bought in bulk form.
A favorite party of mine growing up as a young adult was a fondue party. The fondue pot was warmed by tea-lights. Everyone would bring their pot and into it would go various sauces, like cheese, chocolate, oil. Then when melted and hot, in would go the goodies on fondue forks for the coating of sauce or cooking of meat. It was great fun and fellowship. Fondue pots seem to be a thing of the past. If you do use one these days it is usually electric, which takes all the fun out of the party.
Soy votive candles are a big sister to tea-lights. They are taller and wider and of course last even longer. They also come scented, colored, unscented, and are inexpensive. In today’s economy it pays to count your pennies. Using a votive can help you do just that, save money, especially when your votive is made from soy-wax. They burn 50% longer than a votive made from paraffin wax. You can find all sorts of holders to display your votive in and enhance your room decor.
