Come On, Baby, Light My Fire

 


Let There Be a Flicker

When the electricity goes out, we reach for our cell phones and the built-in flashlight, but we think about saving the battery unless we have an extra charger. What if we use our power, and then we're without a phone? 


If the outage is in the middle of the night, who cares? We turn over and sleep until the sun comes up. But what if it's early evening and it’s a long time till bed? That's when we turn to the next best thing: candles - and we'd better hope we can find the matches. Where did you cram them again? In the drawer? The cabinet? Then what, may we ask, is your hand doing in the Cashew Bliss Gift Tin? Never mind, we know the answer; they're irresistible, but did you have to eat every last one?


Do you cringe when the lights go out? These are the times when you wish you'd:



But did you think ahead? No, you did not. So here you are, stuck in the dark, and what have you got? You've got a Hot Buns Candle from Try My Nuts, and the smell is driving you crazy. Not to broadcast the obvious, but you probably won't want to take a bite out of this one unless you need your lips waxed.


Might we suggest that you go directly to the computer and order yourself a disaster kit when the lights come back on again? Every home should have a disaster kit, complete with a three-day water supply for each household member, medications, instant food, first-aid supplies, chargers, flashlights, batteries, and, yes, snacks. And don't even think of skimping. Get the good stuff. We're talking about peanuts, pretzels, pistachios, and Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Meltaways. 


An essential part of any emergency kit is candles and matches stored in leak-proof bags or containers. There's no reason the candles can't smell fantastic. At Try My Nuts, we've got scents that appeal to every taste, so you can choose with your family members in mind.

Wickedly Speaking, Candle Gifts Are a Real Turn-On

Let's talk about your colleagues, acquaintances, and those gifting dilemmas. Repeat after us: you can't go wrong with candles.


New neighbors moving in, but you don’t have time to bake? No problem! Check out our Banana Nut Bread Candle. Stand on the doorstep, ring the doorbell, light the wick, hand over the candle, and say, "Here, I baked it myself!"


Our candles make the perfect gift - not just for your friends, but also for those acquaintances you barely know. With our delectable scents, you'll think you've taken a detour to the bakery.


Holidays are coming up; do you need something unique for the office giveaway? Are you tired of giving the same old thing? Well, look no more. Next time arrive with a Smell My Nuts Candle, and you'll have instant bragging rights. 

Let’s Get Extra Personal

Everyone loves candles, and with good reason; they offer the ultimate in luxury and personal pampering. Visit any spa, and you'll enjoy more than a pedicure. You'll have candles, aromatherapy, and soft music. 


Scents are associated with special occasions. Cinnamon makes us think of gingerbread, and pumpkin makes it feel like a fall harvest and a Thanksgiving feast with loved ones. At Try My Nuts, we understand how important scents are to those connections, so we've provided some of these aromas that bring us “home.” No matter how far away you venture, you can always go home again; just light one of our holiday candles. And while you're at it, send one to a son, a daughter, a soldier. Let them know you're keeping a candle burning for them.


Of course, there are other ways to use candles besides gifting and finding your way in the dark. 


Sitting on the porch waiting for trick or treaters, watching the flashing eyes of a pumpkin, or lighting a lantern on the deck are just some of the ways we welcome the kids for Halloween.


Decompressing after a chaotic day is something we all anticipate.


Candles are mesmerizing. The flame holds your gaze as it dances, inviting the quiet hush of a candlelit bubble bath. 


Romantic moods are naturally created with the dim light of candles because they are cozy. It's all about the setting. Romance is easier in a peaceful atmosphere. Next time you want to get your partner in the mood for some smooching, wrap yourselves in blankets on the front porch with spiced tea and light a candle. And if the candle just so happens to be Smokey Spiced Pumpkin, even better. 


At Try My Nuts, there's a treasure trove of yummy goodness waiting to make your day better and to help you celebrate with someone special. Think again when you believe there are no new ideas; we've taken an old idea and put a new spin on it. 



Your search for aromatherapy doesn't begin with us; it ends with us. We can personalize your gifts and self-pampering. Give us a call today, and let us help you find your perfect flame.

Gourmet Mixed Nuts: For When You're Too Fancy For Regular Nuts

Try My Nuts from the Start

W hy  Try My Nuts ? It’s the Outer Banks experience. Way back in 1999, we started our first store in Corolla, NC. That’s where the Corolla wild horses roam. If you’ve never seen them, it’s difficult for someone else to describe the experience. You just have to be there, feeling the wind and the ocean and the beach and watching wild horses run free. It’s a good feeling. Being a fun-loving family, we wanted to extend that feeling of freedom we felt at the OBX. So, we took a chance and started our first beach store with only 600 square feet of retail space and no idea which way the wind would blow. Well, that summer we were a hit. And then it didn’t stop but kept on going year-round. We quickly outgrew that first store, and now, 19 years later, we’re still sharing Outer Banks munch satisfaction and sandy grit wit with our many happy customers. With seven retail locations – four on the Outer Banks, NC and three in Ashland, VA, Pigeon Forge, TN, and Palm Desert, CA -- plus a...

The Care and Keeping of Your Nuts

Image by  Clker-Free-Vector-Images  from  Pixabay We’re obviously the experts on nuts. We’d even go so far as to say that nobody knows nuts like we do. Since we know what we’re talking about, people always ask us: “How do I take care of my nuts?” “What’s the best way to store my nuts?” “What are the best ways to enjoy my nuts?” You’ve got questions, and we’ve got answers. Without further ado, here’s our definitive guide to the care and keeping of your nuts. Keep Your Nuts Dry First up on the list: proper nut storage. Now, it’s very important that you keep your nuts cool and dry. Otherwise, they just won’t taste the same. What you want is a nice, firm, tasty nut. Proper storage will help your nuts last for a long time. Pantries, kitchen cupboards, and even closets make a great place to park your nuts for a while. You might also periodically check your nuts to make sure that they’re getting the most from their storage conditions. This is extra important durin...
