3 / THE BEAUTIFUL AND USEFUL CANDLE HOLDER

Bring some joy to their supper table or mantelpiece with these beautiful candle holders made exclusively for Rhubarb & Hare by Cleiog Ceramics.

These candle holders have been shaped so they perfectly fit either a tea light, or the stubby candles from Wax Atelier.  Available in two different glazes - Linen or Pebble, I adore their tactile shape, especially the ridged trim round the edges.

 Mix and match them with taller candles for a stunning table display or they can simply be used by themselves to add some atmosphere or a cosy mood to an informal supper setting or an evening at home.

Handmade in small batches by the Wax Atelier studio in London these gorgeous stubby candles are hand-dipped over 35 times to achieve this beautiful rotund shape.  They are made from a blend of beeswax and green tea, a plant-based wax so when they're lit, they release a super gentle aroma of matcha tea and honey.

It is this passion and attention to detail which makes these candles so special and unique.

 Plum & Ashby Oakmoss & Thyme Candle

10 / MY FAVOURITE EVERYDAY LUXURY CANDLE

 I'm a huge fan of the Plum & Ashby candle and I'm really excited about their new bestselling scent, Oakmoss & Thyme, which both soothes and energises.

It's a lovely scent for that Twixmas vibe.  Think of the fresh, clean sent of rain-soaked woodland with herbaceous notes of thyme, eucalyptus and spearmint mixed with citrus notes of lime and petitgrain (an oil extracted from the leaves and green twigs of the bitter orange tree).

This is followed by a floral heart of jasmine seasoned with a touch of pink pepper. Finally, the woody base notes of cedarwood and patchouli linger, giving the fragrance depth and warmth.

Made in England all Plum & Ashby luxury candles are made with the finest quality mineral wax and cotton wicks.
