Description
This sandalwood scented candle marks a 21st birthday in style, with a raised silver medallion on the front that reads "21st Birthday" above a row of three small stars. Around the rim of the medallion runs a count of the years in other measures, including 21 years, 252 months, 1095 weeks and 7670 days, a neat touch that tends to get read aloud when the gift is opened. The cream candle sits in a clear round jar topped with a shiny silver lid, so the whole piece is cream and silver from every side. It stands 8.5cm tall and 7.6cm across, a compact size that fits easily on a shelf or a bedside table.
It makes a thoughtful 21st birthday gift, something to keep and light long after the party, and the warm, woody note of sandalwood suits most rooms in the house. We like it on a mantelpiece, a dressing table or a desk, where the silver medallion catches the light. Because the cream and silver colours are soft and neutral, it sits comfortably alongside most decor, from a bright modern flat to a cosy traditional living room. With the lid on, it looks just as smart unlit, so it can stay out on show between burns.
The lid lifts off for lighting, so pop it back on once the candle has cooled to keep dust off the candle. As good practice for any candle, trim the wick before each lighting, burn it on a steady, level surface away from draughts and never leave a burning candle unattended. Wipe the jar and lid with a soft dry cloth to keep the silver bright. For gifting, it needs little more than a ribbon and a card, and we think it pairs nicely with a bottle of something sparkling for the big day itself.
