Description
This scented candle sits in a round white tin with a lift-off lid, printed with the words FAMILY is the heart of a HOME in soft pink and grey lettering. Beneath the words runs a little garden scene: a blue bird perched on a pink watering can, a trowel and fork, a fluttering butterfly and a border of spring flowers in pink, lilac and green. The lid carries the same words with a smaller bird and watering can inside a pale blue edge, so it looks just as pretty from above. At 8cm across, it is a neat, compact size for a shelf or windowsill.
With a burn time of 25 hours, it lasts through plenty of quiet evenings, lit for an hour or two at a time. We like it on a kitchen windowsill, a bedside table, a mantelpiece or a hall shelf, anywhere the family gathers or passes by. The words make it a warm Mother's Day gift, a simple way of saying thank you for the home you have made together. It is a lovely present on its own, and small enough to tuck into a hamper or a gift bag alongside flowers or a card.
The candle is set into its tin, so there is no separate holder to find, and the lid lifts off for lighting and goes back on between burns to keep dust off the candle. As with any candle, burn it on a stable, level surface away from draughts, curtains and anything that could catch, keep it out of reach of children and pets, and never leave a burning candle unattended. Let the tin cool fully before you touch it or replace the lid, and wipe the outside with a soft dry cloth. Group it with a jug of fresh tulips for a gentle spring look, or wrap it in tissue with a handwritten note.
