Merry & Bright Votive Scented Candle 10cl - White & Black

This little scented candle carries a cheerful Christmas greeting: the words Merry & Bright in soft pink lettering across a black and white chequered bauble. A small pink bow and a gold cap sit at the top of the bauble, as though it were hanging from a branch, and the print fills the front of a clear, round votive. The candle itself is white, so the chequerboard does the talking. It stands 6.9cm tall and 5.4cm across, with a 10cl votive that sits neatly in one hand.

Its compact size means it goes almost anywhere the season needs a little warmth: on a mantelpiece among greenery, at the centre of a dining table set for Christmas dinner, or on a hall table where guests come in from the cold. Set on a tray beside a few baubles, it adds a crisp graphic note to a festive arrangement, and on its own it brings a cheerful glow to a desk or a kitchen shelf. As a Christmas gift it is easy to love: a stocking filler, a token for a festive get-together, or a little extra tucked in beside a larger present.

The design sits on the front of the votive, so the bauble and its lettering face the room, and the round base stands flat on any level surface, with no holder needed. Before each lighting, trim the wick short, burn the candle on a stable surface away from draughts, curtains and anything that might catch, and keep it out of reach of children and pets. Never leave a burning candle unattended. Between lightings, wipe the outside with a soft, dry cloth to keep the print bright. For an easy gift, wrap it in tissue with a sprig of fir and a handwritten tag, or simply light it as the evenings draw in and let Merry & Bright set the tone.
