GIFT IDEAS: CANDLES & CANDLESTICK HOLDERS
GIFTS TO BRING LIGHT ON DARK DAYS
Dinner candles, twisted candles, celebration candles and utterly incredible (the very best I think) scented candles. Plus really excellent candlestick holders. All hand made in the UK; the candles are hand dipped and hand poured. The ceramic candlestick holders are cast in Devon and the wooden candlestick holders are made in London. Bring the light!
The 12-sided, cunningly named, Dodeca candlestick holder is hand-made in Walnut wood in East London. They are clever as they have two hole sizes so can hold both a tea light and a tall candle making them not only good looking but versatile too! Each candlestick holder is intriguingly different to the next due to the variations in the grain of the wood. [sold seperately]
Material: Walnut
Size: h: 8.5 cm / w: 6 cm

We’re not advocating that you take to ‘running through the town’ (in your nightgown or otherwise) but this is a Wee Willie Winkie candle holder if ever there was one. This beauty is made of fine bone china which is the strongest of ceramics and the clever saucer catches any waxy drips preserving your surfaces and tablecloths. And of course, it is handcrafted here in the UK and the indigo rim is hand painted. It makes a great gift too as the packaging is great.
Notes: Fine Bone China with an indigo rim

As the evenings get longer the lemon-scent will see off unwanted flying guests and with a 45 hour (approx) burn time it should last you for many many BBQs or dusk ‘til dawn evenings. It also has a lid…which is very handy to stop any unwelcome rain making the wick soggy. Hand poured using traditional methods in North Cornwall.
