# Hatching Dinosaur Votives These Egg Candle Wax Melt Away to Reveal a Baby Raptor Lurking Inside By M | Published 2015-12-15 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candle-wax References: [boredpanda](http://www.boredpanda.com/hatching-dinosaur-candle-raptor-firebox/) & [firebox](http://www.firebox.com/product/7285/Hatching-Dinosaur-Candle) While most [candle designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-jar-candle) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/infra-luna-20), the shell melts away to reveal a [toy baby raptor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dinosaur-fossil) 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 Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 68% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Interactive Candle Designs:** Opportunity for creating candles that provide a unique and interactive experience for consumers. - **Surprise Toys in Candles:** Potential to incorporate small toys or figurines into candles, adding an element of surprise. - **Multi-sensory Votives:** Chance to develop candles that not only provide fragrance but also engage multiple senses through unique designs. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Fragrance:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to create candles that offer more than just scent, enticing consumer interaction. - **Toy Manufacturing:** Potential for collaboration between candle and toy manufacturers to produce candles with hidden toys, appealing to children and adult collectors. - **Gift and Novelty:** Opportunity for companies in the gift and novelty industry to introduce unique candles that serve as both decor and entertainment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Interactive Hatching Dinosaur Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dinosaur-toys.md) - [Food-Inspired Novelty Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-savage.md) - [Reversible Dinosaur Plushies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glow-in-the-dark-dinosaur-plushies.md) - [Beeswax Sculptural Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/greentree.md) - [Striking Sculptural Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculpture-candle.md) - [Digital Dinosaur Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bitzee-jurassic-world.md) - [Succulent Terrarium Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/succulent-terrarium-candle.md) - [Cultured Tallow Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tallow-candle.md) - [Uniquely Shaped Pastel Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goober-candle.md)
