Any cute packaging ideas-Votives

I am tired of shrink wrapping my votives, does anyone have any cute ideas to label them without shrink wrapping them. I do soy and I used to shrink wrap them to label them and to help with the dents, dings and controlling the scent. But I am tired of shrinking. It feels like I shrink wrap everything!!
Any thoughts?

You could wrap them in tulle and tie with a ribbon, depends on how many you sell and the time involved. 
I sell mine 4 or 6 in a cello bag with a topper on them. When doing craft shows, I display them in a 24 count votive box.Not much help here,sorry.

Are you not wanting to shrink wrap at all? I have seen 5 votives shaped as a flower (daisy)that is awfully cute (one votive in the middle, surrounded by 4). I actually sell mine to individuals in boxes, but if you are looking for craft show ideas, I'd be interested as I am doing my first craft show this fall.

Wish I had a picture to show you but I don't sorry.
I flower mine to, 5 in a circle and one in middle (total 6), I made paper bands to wrap around them.. then I shrink wrap the whole pack. I will tell you though they have to be the same scent. When I mix scents and they are scents of my choice, not theirs or I will go crazy. I individually shrink them, then band them.

I put mine in a small cello bag. Twist the top and tie with raffia. Fold bottom corners in and put warning label on bottom. Put fragrance name on a small round label and stick on front.

This is how I do mine. I have a small 2 1/2 x 3/4 inch label. Oh and I use twist ties now instead of ribbon. I'd like to find an easier way myself.

I also do the little cello bags with a silver twist tie. I then have a tiny label w/ my logo and URL on it and on the back I use a label for the scent (I used free samples of labels from labelsonline or something....don't know what size they are -- 80/sheet). This works out well -- inexpensive bags (<$3/100), cheap labels, they look really nice with the labels, but the only downfall I see is that customers cannot smell them. But, I keep scent testers for people to smell so they can decide from there.
HTH!

This would be labor intensive, but you could make a band of corrugated cardboard around them, place a string of raffia around it, punch a hole in your label, slide it on the raffia, and tie the raffia in a bow.
You could also use bubble wrap and a satin ribbon for a more modern, trendy look.
My last idea, and this would probably be expensive--get a stamp made that you can use to imbed your information directly on the candle.

I put 3 in a clear packing tube with shreaded stuff in between layers. I only do this for stores because of the cost.

Thank you for all of the suggestions.
I'm still looking for something to scream at me.
All of your ideas are wonderful, again, thank you.
