Description
This butterfly tealight candle holder is a cheerful little piece in white glass, printed across its wings with soft watercolour flowers in pinks, corals, blues and greens, with a small bee tucked among the blooms on one wing. At its centre, in a flowing script and neat capitals, it reads "Aunties Like YOU, are PRECIOUS and few." A round cup set into one wing takes a single standard tealight. It measures 13cm across at its widest and 10cm the other way, and it is 3cm deep, so it sits low and steady on a flat surface.
It is sized for a shelf, a bedside table, a dressing table or the mantelpiece, where a lit tealight gives a small, warm glow beside the printed words. Its message is written for an aunt, which makes it a heartfelt way to tell her how much she means to you. We think it makes a thoughtful Mother's Day gift for an aunt who is part of every family occasion, and it is just as welcome given on an ordinary day. Unlit, it still looks like a pretty floral ornament, so it earns its place on the shelf all year round.
The holder is made of glass with a white printed finish, and its flat base means it rests on a surface without any fixing. Always stand it on a flat, stable surface, keep it clear of anything that might catch, and never leave a burning candle unattended. Let the tealight burn out and the holder cool before you lift it or put in a fresh one. To keep the print bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth or wipe it gently with a damp cloth and dry it, rather than scrubbing. For gifting, we like to pop a fresh tealight in the cup and wrap it in tissue, so it is ready to light the moment she opens it.
