The saddest part of enjoying a luxury candle is blowing it out for the very last time. But with our limited-edition Acacia Wood Heart Bowls, the end of the wick is just the beginning of the story.
Because these vessels are hand-carved from durable, sustainable Acacia wood, they aren't meant to be thrown away. They are designed to live on in your home as beautiful, functional decor.
(Note: If you were one of the lucky ones to snag our 3-Wick Dough Bowls during the fall and winter launch, these tips apply perfectly to those oval bowls, too!)
If you’ve burned through your bowl candle, and are wondering what to do next, here is how to give your heart bowl a second life.
First: The Clean Up
Cleaning out your Abboo Candle Co. wood bowl is incredibly easy because our premium soy wax blend is soft.
-
Scoop it out: Once the candle has cooled and hardened at room temperature, simply use a spoon to scoop out the remaining soft wax.
-
Pop the tabs: Use the spoon to gently pop the metal wick tabs off the bottom of the wood.
-
Wipe it down: Take a dry paper towel and wipe out the inside of the bowl to remove any remaining wax residue. It’s that simple!
1. The Potpourri Bowl
Just because the candle is gone doesn't mean the scent has to end. The natural warmth of the wood pairs perfectly with botanical elements. Fill your clean heart bowl with:
-
Dried Potpourri: A mix of dried flowers, citrus slices, and cinnamon sticks.
-
Scented Pinecones: Perfect for a rustic look.
-
Wood Shavings: For a farmhouse textured look that keeps your home smelling great.
2. The Romantic Catch-All
The most popular way to reuse a dough bowl is as an entryway "drop zone." The heart shape makes it a sweet addition to a console table. It’s the perfect size for holding:
-
Car keys
-
Loose change
-
Lip balm
-
Sunglasses
3. The Vanity Tray
Bring the love into the bedroom or bathroom. The natural wood grain adds a warm, organic touch to modern vanity tops. Use the heart bowl to coral your daily essentials:
-
Jewelry: A safe spot for rings, stud earrings, and watches at the end of the day.
-
Hair Accessories: Keep bobby pins, hair ties, and clips from disappearing.
-
Skincare: It’s the perfect size for holding small jars and serums.
4. The Mini Succulent Garden
Wood and greenery are a match made in heaven. You can turn your empty heart bowl into a stunning micro-planter.
Fill the bowl with decorative moss or stones and nestle in a few high-quality faux succulents. No water required!
⚠️ Important Safety Note: Please do not use these wooden bowls for serving food. In addition to holding fragrance oils, the wood was treated with a fire retardant and sealant prior to being filled with wax to ensure a safe burn.
