The Christmas Candle Collection

 

I love candles at any time of year - for me they are an essential part of dressing our home.  Whether it's using tea lights for a gentle glow, dinner candles on the mantelpiece amidst garlands of seasonal flowers, or a scented candle to light in the snug at the end of the day when the littles are asleep and it is purely me time.  But for obvious reasons, as we head into winter and the days are darker for longer and the festive season approaches candles do really come into their own. 

Whilst we sell candles all year round, here I have put together a special Christmas Candle Collection.  It has a range of scents for those who like a strong and sweet Christmas smell like the Warm Gingerbread candle from Ethel & Co, to a traditional scent with a twist like Plum & Ashby’s Orange & Clove.  

The collection includes tea lights, scented candles & dinner candles as well as handmade tea light holders and candle holders for whatever look and feel you want to evoke.  Or most of them work beautifully as gifts.  There’s some diffusers too if you want a gorgeous festive scent as you walk into a room even when a candle isn't lit!

My new current favourite is the Midwinter Tales candle from Ethel & Co.  Succulent nuances of fig float around a captivating fusion of bayberry and snowberry, enlivened by peppery hints. All of this is embraced by the fondness of cedarwood, raspberry and sultana, warmed by aromatic nuances.  It’s such a gorgeous scent for this time of year.
