A perfect gift to give or receive, the camouflage lover in me is very pleased with the latest from  Joya Studio, the “Army Candle Project,” a double-candle housed in vintage British Army soap dishes marked 1945:

Two scents are poured in a natural soy wax blend: Dawn (Amber Absolute) and Dusk (Bitter Orange Leaf). The candles are packaged in British DPM camouflage that has been tailored by hand in the size of a traditional handkerchief. This can be used as a coaster for the metal candle, which may become hot while lit. Finally, the item is wrapped in olive green paracord—a simple, practical gesture reminiscent of Japanese packaging. Only 100 have been produced, and each fabric wrap is stamped and numbered.
