Description
This tall scented candle brings a cheerful row of little houses to a shelf, with the words "happy HOME" printed above them in a soft, hand-drawn style. The candle is cream and sits in a clear jar, and fine grey illustrations wrap across the front and sides: pitched roofs, tiny windows, front doors and the odd sprig of leaves, each house a little different from the next. It stands 15.2cm tall and 9.2cm across, and at 480g it is a generous size, tall enough to hold its own on a mantelpiece without crowding it.
We think it makes a thoughtful new home gift, a small welcome for someone who has just collected their keys and is still unpacking boxes. The house print and its gentle message suit a first flat as much as a family home, and the cream and clear colouring sits quietly with most schemes, from white painted shelves to warm oak and soft greys. Set it on a hallway console to greet visitors, on a bedside table, on a sideboard or among books in the living room. As a scented candle, it brings fragrance to the room as well as a soft glow in the evening.
The clear jar lets the cream candle and the grey drawings show through, and its flat base sits steadily on a shelf or table. To look after it, wipe the outside of the jar with a soft dry cloth. When lit, stand it on a stable, level surface away from draughts, curtains and anything that might catch, keep it out of reach of children and pets, and never leave a burning candle unattended. Trimming the wick before each lighting helps it burn neatly. For gifting, add a handwritten note of welcome, or tuck it into a moving-day hamper for the first night in.
