Description
This scented candle says exactly how the day is going, with MENTALLY OUT OF OFFICE printed in bold black capitals across the white lid and repeated all the way round the side band. It comes in a round 250ml tin with its own lid. The tin stands 7cm tall and 7.8cm across, a compact size that sits easily on a narrow shelf or the corner of a desk. The lettering is set in a clean, chunky typeface on a white ground, so the look stays simple and graphic and the words read clearly from across the room.
We think it is at its best wherever the working day is meant to stop: on the desk in a home office once the laptop finally closes, on a bedside table, or beside the bath at the end of a long week. Because the wording runs right round the tin, it reads from any angle. It works as well in the middle of a coffee table as it does tucked on a windowsill. It makes a cheerful, good-humoured gift for anyone who could do with an evening off, and it is small enough to slip into a gift bag with a card.
The lid lifts away for lighting and goes back on afterwards. It keeps dust off the wax between uses and makes the candle easy to tidy into a drawer or carry to another room. As with any candle, stand it on a stable, level surface away from draughts, curtains and anything that could catch, and never leave a burning candle unattended. Let the wax cool fully before you put the lid back on. To keep the printed tin looking fresh, dust it with a soft, dry cloth. For a gift it needs little more than tissue paper and a ribbon; for yourself, simply light it at the end of the day and let the words do the talking.
