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.
