HI Lynette,
I thought this post was very informative.

Hi ! You don't describe the candles , but maybe you can turn them into gifts by thing them together , declaratively , with ribbons , or raffa , or beads , set them on a dollar store platter ( or from a thrift shop ) with shells , pine cones or stones around them . Tie a small bundle of cinnamon sticks with ribbon around them ...
You could save them in the event of a power outage, donate them to various organizations, or re purpose them as decor.
I’m sure Hometalk has some clever ideas — try using the search bar at the top left.
You can recycle them into new candles
