Gifts Made in Australia
Surely by now everyone knows that Angel Aromatics are Australian owned and operated, producing quality Australian made gifts and homewares. I'm not ashamed to say that here at Angel we're quite proud of our products. In fact we love our products!
Not only do we enjoy using and selling our products we also thoroughly enjoy making them! I mean who wouldn't love to work in a factory that smells like Annan®? And I must admit the testing phase is always my favourite. Especially when it involves taking home yummy candles, melts and diffusers just to "see how they go in a different environment" and "ask visitors what they think". Of course I'm happy to help! From a purely scientific standpoint of course!
It does have its downside though. Some afternoons I will be sitting at my desk and suddenly I get an overwhelming craving for chocolate ice cream. The craving is so strong I can smell it, almost taste it. No wait. Someone has ordered Medium Chocolate Balls in Chocolate fragrance. Phew! It's not a craving and I can sit back and inhale the delicious aroma coming from our factory, knowing that I have not gorged myself on sweets. Yay me! But there's nothing like surrounding yourself with bright colours on a Monday afternoon to make you smile and forget about 3.30itis :)
Walking into our factory is an absolute sensory experience let me tell you. The fragrant air, the hum and clinking of bottling machinery, the giggling and chatting and bright colours everywhere. Even the floor is pretty!
When people ask us why we are still making things in Australia - it's because we are Australians, an Australian company and we love knowing exactly what is in our products. We love what we do.
We love being proud of what we ourselves can produce and we have our own strict quality control measures in place - we feel confident in our products and know they are safe. (Plus we like taking home candles and oils (to test of course ;) ).

First date tips from a published author
It would be remiss of us to breeze through yet another Valentines Day without sharing our Angel Aromatics secrets to everlasting love. Ok so we may not all be experts on the subject here at Angel but one of us recently got engaged (congrats Lana!) so I thought while I'm getting educated I would pass on some advice to anyone else who did not receive flowers from her Valentine this year.
If you haven't heard, our Lana wrote 'Meals Men Love - How to Catch a Man in 3 Courses' - a cookbook for the busy gal who knows that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. After spending hours upon hours preparing elaborate meals for little to no appreciation she realised that simple, delicious and filling recipes are the way to go.
The best part is that at the back of the book she shares some other little tips. Lana says it is as simple as working out how to appeal to the five senses.
"1 Sight - clean your place, have a nice table setting, and look your best2 Smell - a dish baking in the oven, nice perfume, scents burning like Angel Aromatics' Annan® (the scent men love), is a winning combination
3 Touch - soft moisturised skin, nice soft napkins
4 Sound - pleasant background music, the sound of a working kitchen
5 Taste - Meals Men Love. Every recipe in this book has tastes that appeal to men"
