Reddit mentions: The best incense & incense holders

Okay, I've always dreamed of having a room that was all done up Arabian Nights style, with lovely lush silks hanging from the walls and pretty Moroccan lamps everywhere, so... I'm gonna give you that, via amazon suggestions :)

First we start with this lovely canopy for your bed. Then I would add this Incense burner because well, it looks like a genie lamp, and incense is sexy and can help you set the mood. Then we would hang several of these beautiful hanging candle holders around the room, for mood, also it's impossible for anyone to look bad by candle light. Then we would hang several of these along the walls, to really give it that Arabian appeal, so you feel like you are in a tent. Then top that off with a few more candle holder lamps around the room, and some poufs and some rugs and you have yourself a lovely harem, all you need to do is fill it with sexy men :)

Justin Bieber is one of the cockiest douchebags to ever rise to fame.


also I would love to send you a post card :)

I posted a similar question on here for a gift for my boyfriend, and I got a lot of great responses so I decided to make a "panic box" for him with lots of different ideas.

He is big on scents for soothing, so I got him a relaxation blend and frankincense essential oils, as well as his favorite incense.

He is also very responsive to tea, so I got him this pregnancy tea. I know that seems weird, but it was one of the few on Amazon that had chamomile and oatstraw. Although I didn't really expect them to work, I also got him stress mints, calm drops, and moon drops in hopes that having something to suck on might calm him down if some minor anxiety pops up.

As for books, after reviewing this thread here, I got him this anxiety memoir since he seems to benefit from reading other people's stories (shout out to this subreddit! Thanks guys!), as well as this workbook.

Finally, I got him a panic pete to give him something to hold and squeeze when he was anxious. Out of all the things I got him, he loved panic pete the best!

As a final, personal touch, I printed out this article which he loved reading when he is anxious, and included some of the calming mantras I found here.

Hope at least some of this helps!

1: u/ceracyanide you seem like you might have more of an opinion on this than anyone else I know :)

do you think this thing would work as a cool homemade candle? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002KDWPD0/?coliid=I2NNBMD7AH4JP7&colid=3Q01HRKF3UIKC&psc=0&ref=lv_ov_lig_dp_it
because in theory, I think it sounds cool, but im not so sure.

2: uplifting news; everyone has been In a pretty bad mood today, my family has been screaming at each other... but despite all that, my dog is still concerned and wanting to comfort us. and he cant do that for everyone if we're in separate rooms, so we have to be together and not fighting to cheer the dog back up. having my adorable little pitbull cuddle up against me makes me feel pretty good despite the negativity.I just love him so damn much you guys :) im so lucky to have each of these dogs!


3: im always thinking about the people I care about most, despite how much they piss me off. also, i have pretty colored eyes.

-a hammock because the outdoors is awesome

-this sharpie is amazing

-these pens, although a little pricey, are AMAZING. Additionally, you can get refills for them on Amazon and those are inexpensive

-best coloring pencils imho

-Some really awesome book series one, two, three and four

-for math, here's some sodoku

-Some movies: Overboard, When Harry Met Sally, Burlesque

-Telescope

-Picnic basket

-Spirituality book

-some incense and an awesome fairy burner to go with them

I'll try and add some more later :)

Thanks for the contest

I really really want it! ( $5 and $10

Actually, you need to start fasting first thing Tuesday, because you need to fast for three entire days. So eat good tonight, and then no more food or sex.

You can text with me via private message here on Reddit. Or if you want, Tuesday night we can voice chat, but private message me first.

BTW, are there any restrictions or budgetary constraints in terms of the supplies you'll need? Can you afford to shell out twenty bucks for candles and stuff? If not, that's fine, just let me know what you can afford to spend. We could probably figure out a way to do it for next to nothing if need be. But if you can afford them, order up a green beeswax candle from Amazon. Order it now so that you'll have it by Thursday, so that on Thursday night you can "dress the candle" with herbs and such. This will be your primary offering. Also, you're gonna need some booze. If you're 21 or older, pick up some rum. Bune loves rum.

Here's a green beeswax candle like what I'm talking about:

https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0143LZV7S/ref=twister_B07FNYVJCT?_encoding=UTF8&th=1

Another item, if you can afford it, is some "dragonsblood incense". This is the cheapest stuff I could find. If you can afford better, cool, otherwise this stuff will work:

https://smile.amazon.com/Hem-Dragons-Blood-Incense-Sticks/dp/B0016Z3BA4/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=dragons+blood&qid=1569887102&s=home-garden&sr=1-2

So, to recap, for materials, you'll need the candle (which we'll dress on Thursday), the Dragonsblood incense, and rum. You should be able to score all that for $20 or so. If not let me know and we'll prioritize.

I hate having dry hands (curse the dishes) so yes I do use hand cream. There's also the saying that you can tell a person's real age by looking at their hands~

As other suggested, you could use body sunscreen and/or body hand cream too!

I really like the Skinfood rose and shea butter hand cream. It's 25 spf, absorbs pretty fast and doesn't leave my hands sticky. (I have pretty oily fingers btw) It also smells really good! It might be a bit strong for some people but I personally love how the smell stays even an hour later.

not entering. But I am a good student... My advice to you is to make flash cards, and on the day of the test, when your anxiety is just sky high, just repeat to yourself "i know the material. there is nothing to be nervous about. I know the material" .. I am not sure why, but it helps. And i have smoked a time or two. And there is a great item that i feel more people should know about here but it's not under 10 dollars. but look how great it is.

I don't know if I've ever been inside a Hot Topic, but I can at least tell you that Dragon's Blood is a fairly common incense scent. You can almost surely find something pretty close, even if you can't find the exact brand. Do post a pic, tho. Good luck.

For example.

Amazon pay Jerron right meow !
Silly Amazon. Hope they pay you back asap!
I would love some [Coconut Incense] (http://www.amazon.com/Gonesh-GOX-COCO-Coconut-Stick-Incense/dp/B001B62QG8/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=1OUQ8B0KGTG86&coliid=I24MZDY7GD2WFJ) perfect scent for summer!
Thanks for the contest!

Shoyeido makes high quality incense that is especially beginner friendly. You can browse their entire line on their website and they also sell a lot of items through Amazon. Their Daily Assortment pack is a good introduction to their basic style, and Japanese incense in general. I particularly like their Plum Blossoms. I buy most of my incense from Japan Incense. They carry Shoyeido as well as many other great brands such as Baieido, Kunjudo, Keigado, Kunmeido, and Yamadamatsu.

This one or This one with a lid would be cute-but-useful editions to your basket.

Also, you're a great and thoughtful friend. Just so you know. :)

My Friend Dahmer. I am currently reading this and it is awesome!

Thanks for the contest. Have a great flight!

This is my favorite inscent. I have to order it online because no shop in my town sells this specific box. I am also a big fan of lavender oil, so i have a couple of oil burners with that in it around the house. I also make a lemon eucalyptus h20 spray to help keep fleas and fruit flies outta the house. Recently I have gotten into the scent of cedar. my favorite uncle made me a huge ceder chest as a wedding gift. 😍 that smell. Nag Champa Red

These are my favorite, each scent is really different and fun to try.
These are the backflow ones I use (like the video) and have some strong, distinct scents as well, though I prefer the first ones.

Here's what I've learned. This coil is part of a Shoyeido series called Horin. You purchased the highest grade in the series. It has a stiff learning curve, being a Kyara blend. I've noticed that it's hard to pin down- the notes shift and bend as it fills the space. It's got a tanginess that might be strange coming from the Bosen Blessing coils. All the coils in this series have oils and that might be strange for you too. The first in the series, Nijo, is a very easy entrance, but relies greatly on oils for it's surprising identity. The affordable sampler https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0035V2RH0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_PVlSDbQ9AVZV2 is the best way to get your head around the series.

I am an incense lover, and I also love coconut! Yo, I'm cheap!!

Are there any craft stores near you, I have seen sage sticks at places like Michael's Crafts. I didn't realize until now that Amazon has it:

When you do get some, read up on how to use it properly.

Don't feel ridiculous doing this, if it makes things better for your family it's well worth it!

I will definitely see if she could let me borrow some to try. I've heard that artificial are harmful and that it's best to stick to natural. The ones I am thinking about ordering for my first sticks are....

Great tip. Thanks.

I think the OP would be interested in nag champa, frankincense and myrrh incense as inexpensive options.

Home Sweet Home congrats on your new place. my house needs some incence to smell good or a little plant for my desk. thanks for the contest.

I love sushi. Great contest.

Skinfood's Rose & Shea is nice, but you need to like the scent of roses, as the fragrance is a little strong.

Hi Cat, I can help.

You'll need an incense burner, something like this (there are plenty of new age/pagan shops that sell these online, I just found it fastest on Amazon).

You'll also need charcoal and a wooden coaster to set the charcoal burner on.

Then you can pretty much follow these directions to get you on your way!

I like this one! It fits in my purse, it's cute and it smells like roses.

https://www.amazon.com/Skinfood-Rose-Butter-Cream-SPF25/dp/B00O49YLGC

I love helping people find stuff to add to their wishlists!

Scarf <$10

Wreck This Journal $10-$20

Nag Champa

I'm pretty sure they use this

Mods should definitely put it in next FAQ as it gets asked quite often..

Happy anniversary Melbot!

helluva landmark :)

Dollars to donuts it is mostly frankincense. Other aromatics may be added depending on who they're buying it from, and maybe they use different incense at different times. You can go to your local Catholic church to ask them what exactly they use and where they get it from, or you can just buy frankincense from any of dozens of online vendors. The region and quality of the frankincense will affect the aroma it produces, but you can buy a pound of quality for very reasonable prices. I personally like mine mixed with some rose.

To burn it you will need charcoal (self-lighting is most convenient) and an appropriate burner. Your burner should be open, if you use any kind of lid or cover it will smother the coal. Something like this works very well, is cheap and portable. If you're looking to replicate Catholic incense, do not, I repeat do not, waste your money trying to find stick incense. It just isn't the same.

Any Catholic or Orthodox supply site will have good stuff.

/incense snob

Agreed on both points! OP, if you're curious about sandalwood incense, I highly recommend the Morning Star variety.

• 0-5: Smudge Sticks, keeps the ghosties away
  
• 5-10: Ninja Cookie Cutters, because they suddenly disappear
  
• 10-20: Three Wolf Moon from my cheap list. If you don't have this shirt, you need it.
  
• 20-50 Bang! The Bullet, great card game.

Yes, this is why it's so hard to trust anything online...This has literally 1K reviews though, what do you think? https://www.amazon.com/Sai-Baba-Nag-Champa-Incense/dp/B0000ZUGS6

Another quick question and I'm done for now: is it okay if I get gold leaf that isn't entirely real gold but a blend will it work? (I might be wrong but I've found some listing that says it is like 999/1000 real gold which I read as meaning 99% real gold, so I might be wrong).

Better way of putting it: will these be alright?

Is this it? Creationtop incense:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07B3WQ9K4/ref=twister_B07B3QV387?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

The one selectable one is close but not exactly the same is the Australian Sandal : it has the lotus flower pinch hand gesture. The other choices vary with color of tube and also with flowers.

It's a wood from the amazon you burn it like an incense it's been used for healing for ages.

You'll often see it at festivals usually the ones with camping.

I would love to get this for my wife if you go into the new/used section you'll see it for sale from a Vendor called XTREMEK for 4.99 + 4.00 shipping

I am getting some of these to try out. l love the smell of burnt wood.

You should look into coreless japanese incense. Burns nothing but incense and barely any smoke.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001B652NC/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

My favorite.

Here ya go. Get her some of these before she has to ask. You'll be her hero.

This sampler is great. The flavors are nice, the incense is well made (soft, takes a second to light, fairly even average diameter).

This one seems like a deal, but the additional varieties, excluding superhit, are all chemical smelling junk with a totally different consistency(they light instantly and give off lots of black smoke before you blow them out).

You can get sampler sets of different Shoyeido incenses; so for a bit of spare change you can try a bunch of different scents and see what you like/don't like.

That looks just like the one on Amazon

Yep, you can buy it! Here's the link http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000LD44A8/?tag=047-20

I’ll help.

Amazon.ca has them. Not sure if that’s the regular price or not.

Morning Star Sandalwood Incense 200 Sticks https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B001B6ALM4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_JbVyDbE1SKKNX

I actually just got a box of incense too, I don't think mine is fake. It doesn't put off any black awful smoke when burned and smells wonderful. Link to the incense and pics for comparison

Even if what i got is a knock of of the real satya brand it still smells amazing and nothing like cheap incense you'd find in dollar stores.

The Mother's Incense Nag Champa varieties are quite nice, as are the red box Shantimalai.

Here you go

1. Air mover by the window/door. On during and post smoking.
   
2. Lampe Berger. Once post smoke.
   
3. Incense. Specifically this. I keep it lit at the other end of the room. And one post cigar.
   
   1 hr later, no cigar smell.

these might be closer, that's the brand you often see in Japanese markets for the grave visits

Hmm, maybe you did it wrong?

I just went through the whole process. I said, "Alexa, order incense" and it came back with the first choice. I said no, Alexa moved on to the second choice, when I said "Yes" she asked for my "Voice Code".
