Orange & Star Anise Christmas Glass Scented Candle - Pink

This scented candle comes in a round pot of shiny pink glass, wearing a label that reads Orange & Star Anise in bright, playful lettering. The glass is a vivid fuchsia pink that glows when the candle is lit and still looks cheerful when it is not, and the warm orange wax shows through it. The label is decorated with a green holly leaf, bold red and pink flowers and a ripe orange, so the piece feels festive without leaning on the usual tartan and gold. It stands 9cm tall and 7.8cm wide, a neat size that settles onto a shelf or side table without crowding it.

Christmas is its season, and we think it makes a cheerful Christmas gift, small enough to tuck into a stocking or set beside a card. Around the home, the little round pot suits a mantelpiece dressed for Christmas, a kitchen windowsill, a hallway table that greets guests, or the centre of the table for a festive supper. Its bright colours bring a modern, playful note to a room decorated in traditional reds and greens, and they sit just as happily in a pink or colourful scheme. With a burn time of 32 hours, it sees you through plenty of cosy December evenings.

The pot is round glass with a shiny finish, and it stands on its own on a flat, level surface. For the best burn, trim the wick before each lighting, let the top melt evenly across the pot, and keep the candle away from draughts, curtains and anything that might catch. Never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep it out of reach of children and pets. Once the glass is cool, dust it with a soft dry cloth to keep the pink shining. We like it set on a small tray with a sprig of holly beside it, or wrapped in tissue as a little Christmas present.
