Support your Presidential candidate and Wounded Warriors with these candles

Hotel Collection Presidential Candles to support your candidate
Hotel Collection

Biden or Trump, that’s the prevailing question for the upcoming Presidential election. Regardless of how you feel about one or the other, there’s an opportunity to show your support for your top choice and give back to the community at the same time. Hotel Collection has introduced two exclusive candles, one each for Biden and Trump. With every purchase, Hotel Collection will donate to the Wounded Warriors Project, putting some of the proceeds to an excellent cause. You get a fantastic-smelling candle, can support your Presidential pick, and give back to wounded warriors. That’s quite the win, I’d say. But what do those candles smell like? Let’s take a closer look.

The Biden Presidential candle

Biden’s candle and the resulting fragrances are about setting a calm, enjoyable ambiance. This candle, infused with white tea, ginger, and musk, has a single-wick design and lasts about 90 hours. It exudes simplicity and elegance, with scents like cedarwood, vanilla, amber, aloe vera, sandalwood, lily, and musk. Your home or living space will smell fresh, luxurious, and inviting.

The Trump Presidential candle

Trump’s Presidential candle is meant to evoke sophistication and luxury. Also featuring a single wick design and a burn time of 90 hours, it gives off notes of Tuscan leather, cinnamon, sandalwood, Vetiver, and Iris. It’s delightful yet glamorous and will fill your home with sense-provoking notes.

The candle also features Trump’s presidential photo and slogan: “Make America Great Again!”

Similar to the election later this year, Hotel Collection is tallying the number of candles sold for each candidate. You’ll be able to see who’s showing the most support and whose supporters are raising the biggest donation for the Wounded Warriors Project. You can even see where in the country those candles are being sold. It’s a pretty neat idea, frankly, but it’s inspiring to see how much is going to those in need.

Hotel Collection’s Presidential candles are safe for children and pets, crafted via cruelty-free processes and offer pure, luxury fragrances, as you might have noted from the candle descriptions above.

What are you waiting for? Now’s your chance to show your support for your Presidential candidate of choice while also giving back to a great cause.

Will this zippy religious thriller be a major player at this year’s Oscars?
Conclave is set in the aftermath of a pope's death, and follows the election of the new pope
Ralph Fiennes in Conclave.

One of the buzziest movies of the fall movie season is about to make its debut in theaters. Conclave, which stars Ralph Fiennes as Cardinal Lawrence, a man charged with running the process that will lead to the election of a new pope following the old pope's death. Directed by Edward Berger, who made All Quiet on the Western Front in 2022, the movie is pitched as a political thriller, and its most recent trailer suggests that it's going to live up to that billing.

As the trailer suggests, what begins as a relatively normal election eventually devolves into an overtly political affair as revelations about the previous pope are uncovered, and multiple cardinals grapple for power. Lawrence must dig into the truth of what the previous pope was up to to understand which of the candidates to succeed him are most directly implicated. The film is based on a 2016 novel of the same name, and stars Fiennes alongside Stanley Tucci, John Lithgow, and Isabella Rossellini.
