Back to School Essentials Gift Guide
Going back to school may mean something different depending on who you’re asking.
Whether you’re a parent, teacher or college student, Vellabox may just be that extra sense of relaxation or necessary addition to your desk while you study or grade assignments.
And maybe this doesn’t apply to you and that’s okay! It’s the time of year where our care-free summers fade away and stress may become a little heightened.
There’s nothing like a candle to help calm you down and transition into the fall season!
FOR THE COLLEGE STUDENT
If you’re a college student, treat yourself to a surprise candle box and bonus gift to get you through the semester.
And if you’re a parent missing your kids who are off to college, feel connected to your loved ones far away by sending them a monthly reminder of your love.
Our boxes feature a different small batch, artisan candle maker across the US each month. These candles are seasonally-inspired and you don’t want to miss out on this year’s fall boxes!
This is a great way to stay in touch and make your kid’s place feel and (smell) like home especially when all that dirty laundry starts piling up.
Bonus point: Candles are vital for those exam weeks when you need a cram study boost. Did you know that candles help with brain focus and memory?

Remember to make sure that your off campus apartment or house allows candles. And always remember to snuff your flame when you leave your place!
FOR THE TEACHERS
Our teachers have gone the extra mile this past year and have taught our kids the ABCs to Geometry and everything in between through a screen. They deserve to be shown some love and gratitude.
