Hatching Dinosaur Votives

These Egg Candle Wax Melt Away to Reveal a Baby Raptor Lurking Inside

— December 15, 2015 — Art & Design
While most candle designs creatively melt away to leave nothing but a pool of residue behind, the Hatching Dinosaur votive by Firebox is shaped like a large egg that creatively burns away till the candle wax reveals a baby raptor lurking inside. This is ideal for consumers looking for votives that provide an experience as well as added fragrance to a room.

The Hatching Dinosaur candle is cleverly structured to look a large reptile egg with a rounded oval shape and shell-like texture in a cream color. The wick is located at the top of the egg and as the candle slowly burns, the shell melts away to reveal a toy baby raptor lurking inside. Once the candle is finished burning and the egg's shell has completely melted, the raptor hidden within can be pulled out and played with.
Trend Themes
1. Interactive Candle Designs - Opportunity for creating candles that provide a unique and interactive experience for consumers.
2. Surprise Toys in Candles - Potential to incorporate small toys or figurines into candles, adding an element of surprise.
3. Multi-sensory Votives - Chance to develop candles that not only provide fragrance but also engage multiple senses through unique designs.
Industry Implications

2. Toy Manufacturing - Potential for collaboration between candle and toy manufacturers to produce candles with hidden toys, appealing to children and adult collectors.
3. Gift and Novelty - Opportunity for companies in the gift and novelty industry to introduce unique candles that serve as both decor and entertainment.
