Description
This little ceramic tea light candle holder carries a gentle message, 'you mean the world to me', written in soft grey lower-case letters around its rim. A round cup for a single tea light sits at the centre of a wide saucer-style base, with a looped handle rising from one side so you can lift it easily. The body is off white, finished with a pink edge and a pale blue band around the cup, and the base is dotted with cheerful little motifs: a leaping bunny on the handle, a bee, a lilac bow, a strawberry, a snail, a hedgehog and a scattering of spring flowers. It measures 12.5cm across and 4cm deep, a compact size for a bedside table or shelf.
With those words around the rim, it is a natural gift for someone who matters to you. We think it makes a lovely Mother's Day present, a warm way to say thank you, or an end-of-term gift for a favourite teacher. At home, the soft pastel colours sit happily on a dressing table, a kitchen dresser or a living room shelf, and its small footprint means it never crowds a busy surface. Light a tea light in it on a quiet evening and the glow picks out the flowers and creatures around the base.
The holder is made of ceramic, with decals for its designs, so every motif and letter is neat and clear. The wide, flat base sits on a table without any fixing, and the loop handle gives you something to hold. To keep it looking its best, wipe it gently with a soft damp cloth and dry it, and as with any candle, never leave a burning tea light unattended. For a thoughtful gift, wrap it with a few tea lights and a handwritten card, and let the message on the rim do the rest.
