Description
This butterfly candle holder in white glass carries a soft watercolour garden across its wings, with the words "You are so VERY Special" written at its centre in a flowing script. Pink, coral, blue and green flowers drift over the upper wings, a little bee sits among the blooms on one side, and delicate sprigs of leaves and berries trail across the lower wing. In the other lower wing, a round cup takes a tealight, so the flame sits neatly beside the message. It measures 13cm at its widest and 10cm the other way, and is 3cm deep, a compact size that fits a narrow shelf or a bedside table without crowding it.
Set it on a mantelpiece, a windowsill, a dressing table or the middle of a dining table, wherever a small flicker of candlelight and a cheerful floral print would be welcome. The white ground keeps it fresh against pale walls, while the multicoloured flowers bring a touch of spring to a plain room. It makes a thoughtful Mother's Day gift, and its kind words suit a friend just as well, whether to cheer someone up or simply to remind them how much they mean to you.
The glass body has a smooth, glossy finish, with the flowers and lettering printed on, and its flat base lets it sit steadily on a level surface. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it with a slightly damp cloth and let it dry fully before the next tealight goes in. As with any candle, never leave a burning tealight unattended, keep it well away from curtains and anything that might catch, and let the holder cool before you move it. For a gift, tuck a box of tealights and a handwritten card alongside it, so it can be lit the moment it is unwrapped.
