Description
This gingerbread house candle is a little festive cottage you can light, with a snowy white iced roof, a tan brown gingerbread front and a small green fir tree standing by the door. Red and white candy-cane stripes run down every corner and along the roof, a sprig of holly sits above the arched front door, and arched white windows are picked out on the front and the gable above. A peppermint sweet rests on either side of the doorstep, and a snow-capped chimney rises from the roof. It stands on a stepped brown base and measures 10cm tall, 7.8cm wide and 8cm deep, a size that sits happily on a shelf or a side table without crowding it.
We think it belongs wherever Christmas gathers: on the mantelpiece, along a windowsill, on a hall table or among the greenery at the centre of a festive dinner table. Its warm gingerbread colours and white icing sit comfortably with traditional red and green decorations, and look just as cheerful beside natural wood and soft white fairy lights. As a Christmas gift it is a small, happy present for anyone who loves the season, and it slips easily into a stocking or a festive hamper.
The wick sits at the peak of the roof, beside the chimney, so the flame rises from the top of the house while the decorated front faces the room. Stand it on a plate or candle holder on a flat, steady surface, away from draughts, curtains and anything that could catch, and never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep it out of reach of children and pets. Between lightings, dust it with a soft dry cloth to keep the icing detail clean. It looks just as charming left unlit, so set it out with the first of the Christmas decorations and let it bring a sweet bakery warmth to the room.
