The secret is accumulation š
I buy the odd trinket or beauty product that "reminds me" of friends and family when shopping around, until I amass enough to package together as a kit or hamper. They also work as a bonus thrown in with the big gift.

This is a rose soy candle that I bought in France. Itās pink and itās small. Every time I burn it, I use those moments to mourn something until the wax has melted evenly.
When my cat died, I lit it for about seven minutes and used that moment to let him pass. But even on New Years Eve a few years back, it felt right to let go of the year that way.
While the flame and the melting wax helps me let go, using the candleās pretty metal and ceramic cup will help me keep everything Iāve mourned alive. Because the candle is so small, each time I burn it itās very special.
