At Cactus Nation, we love candles—there’s nothing quite like the warm flicker of a flame and the scent of your favourite fragrance filling the room. But while candles create ambience, it’s important to be mindful of safety—especially around children, pets, or in spaces where an open flame might not be the best choice.
Candle Safety 101
We always want our customers to enjoy their candles responsibly, so here are a few quick tips to keep things safe:
Never leave a burning candle unattended.
Keep candles away from drafts, curtains, or anything flammable.
Trim your wick to 5mm before each burn.
Burn your candle on a heatproof, stable surface.
Keep candles out of reach of kids and pets.
Why Choose a Reed Diffuser?
Reed diffusers are:
Flame-free and fuss-free – No matches, no supervision required.
Long-lasting – They can provide continuous fragrance for weeks or even months.
Perfect for any room – Great in bedrooms, bathrooms, offices, and anywhere open flames aren’t ideal.
Stylish home décor – They look as good as they smell.
You simply pop the reeds into the fragrance oil and let them do the work. For a subtle scent, use fewer reeds. Want to boost the aroma? Flip the reeds every few days for a fragrance refresh.
The Best of Both Worlds
We believe there’s a place for both candles and diffusers in every home. Whether you're setting the mood for a relaxing bath or keeping your entryway fresh around the clock, there's a scented solution for every space.
