With the presidential election campaign in full swing, it's that time of year again when Americans are reviewing the issues and choosing our next president.
In the spirit of the election, PartyLite, the leading direct seller of quality candles and accessories, is asking Americans to exercise their right to vote in another way: by choosing their favorite candle fragrance through its "Get Out the Votives" sweepstakes.
One lucky voter will win a trip for two to Hawaii by casting a ballot to elect a favorite votive fragrance. Entrants will be asked to select their favorite fragrance out of three best-selling candidates: Orange Cranberry, Vanilla and Strawberry Rhubarb.
PartyLite's "Get Out the Votives" sweepstakes runs through November 2, 2004, to coincide with the presidential election.
The grand prize winner will receive a four-night trip for two to Hawaii, including airfare, accommodations, and rental car - a prize valued at $4,000. Seventy-five first prize winners will receive a PartyLite candle package which includes some of PartyLite's favorite fragrances.
Decorating Tips From PartyLite
While you're buying your favorite fragrance during the election season, PartyLite encourages Americans to show off their decorating know-how in their own homes.
* Create interest. Pair items of varying widths and
heights and display candles
in odd numbers.
* Use multiple points of
light. Brighten up your
walls using wall sconces to
draw attention to family
photos and wall decor
groupings.
* Apply a splash of color. If
you're shy about color, start
with small accessories such
as a colorful votive holder or a bright candle on your
mantelpiece or shelf.
* Choose a color scheme.
Consider a color scheme
that focuses on a holiday, or
center your color scheme
around a piece of art or
favorite object that you
already own.
