If your mom likes candles, we have great ones, just ask Redsnake. They're made with vegetable waxes (no paraffin), and don't get real sooty, like most others do. We also have soap bars, from the same company, that are the best I've ever used. That's saying a lot, too. I used to make my own soap, because store bought soap always dried out my skin and made me feel itchy. Anyway, a couple of ideas for you...
