The Christmas List of Candles Gift

I love candles and whenever I receive one I like to lit it up while I am at the computer. A candle is a Christmas gift that always will put a smile on the receiver's face. In this post you will find a great range of candles, some are luxury  ones while others can be found in high street stores or supermarket, so to accommodate  every budget.

*In Store* I love Maison Ves candles. Their hashtags  mottoes are cheeky and fun and they  describe perfectly our social media culture. These scented candles are all made in UK using luxurious fragrances like lavender or tuberose or cinnamon and more and the selection is great. You can either have this classic style or pick the marble or green onyx holders. Go online at www.maison-ves.com 

*In Store*  Another new and beautiful candle from Claribel, a brand that designs  amazing textiles and tableware.  They are made in France using food compatible wax, vegetable wax and lead free cotton wick. Among the fragrances, the one that caught my sense of smell is the one with Tomato Leaves, Blackcurrant and Basil. Check them online at www.claribellondon.com

*In Store*  If you know the receiver favourite colour go for  a candle by Crabtree & Evelyn. Every year this iconic brand comes up with new fragrances for its candles. Which one tickles your fancy ? The White Cardamom with notes of mimosa and spices or the Noel with fir tree, citrus and mulled spices ? Discover them in store or online at www.crabtree-evelyn.co.uk

*In Store* Every time I go to The White Company store I loose myself  among all the gifts ideas on offer.  The selection of candles is great but this time, instead of choosing a single candle, I've picked this set of 8 votive candles in the best seller fragrances because it is difficult to make up your mind and just pick one fragrance. You can either give the whole set to a candle lover or split the 8 candles maybe as  stocking fillers or if you use to gift your colleagues at work. www.thewhitecompany.com

*In Store* From France this beautiful set of candles by Annick Goutal will make happy somebody who loves a sophisticated fragrance and maybe wears Annick Goutal precious perfumes. They are available at the best department stores like Liberty, Fenwick or John Lewis just to name a few. Check the website to find a stockist near you at www.annickgoutal.com

*In Store* Perfect for home or as a stocking filler, as well as being perfect for small gifts to teachers or neighbours. They are from Aldi and available only in store. The Spiced Orange has a very christmassy fragrance and it is decorated with real orange peels. Look for a store near you at www.aldi.co.uk

*In Store*  Candles are very popular as well as home diffusers. Most brands offer  a candle and room diffuser with the same fragrance, so that you are  surrounded by a lovely smell in your home. This nice pair is by White Stuff with a good selection of candles and accessories like candle holders and  room diffusers. These are the Coconut Vanilla and Almond scented candle and room diffuser and if you want to discover more fragrances go to www.whitestuff.com

*In Store* When going to a Cath Kidston store it is very difficult to leave empty handed. You can always find something to buy for yourself or for a gift. The candles on offer match the patterns of some of the ranges. This one with the Devonshire Rose pattern has got a festive fragrance
 of sugar and spice.  www.cathkidston.com

*In Store* If you have always thought of Wilkins & Sons as the brand of delicious jams think gain. The products in their catalogue is fantastic and obviously  jams and spreads are still the heroes but they've  came up with new products and these candles are just a part of it. The fragrances are delectable, inspired by their delicious  confitures  and marmalade like Lemon Curd or Strawberry or Victoria Plum just to name a few. Room diffusers are also available matching the candles made of natural wax. Go online to www.tiptree.com 

*In Store*  Daniel Galvin  Jr and Alexandra Soveral developed this beautiful Signature candle exclusive for  Highgrove Gardens.  Made of soy wax and organic essential oils, the bouquet is inspired by the Royal Gardens with Lavender, Bergamot, Lime and Rose Geranium. A room diffuser and room mist also is available with matching fragrance.  www.highgrovegardens.com

*In Store* There are some stores that let you immerse completely in the Christmas spirit. One of them is Liberty  with its  architecture and mock Tudor  details. It is a joy to look for gifts in an environment  like this. I've picked this gorgeous candle by Maison La Bougie  with a scent  that reminds of a Mojito cocktail with its Fresh Basil, Mint, Lemon and Rum infused in natural wax. www.libertylondon.com

*In Store*  Spoil your sense of smell at Heal's because the choice of scented candles is amazing. This Whisky and Oak candle will take you to a mansion in the countryside  while carol singers are singing at the front door and a roaring fire is lit up on the fireplace. It is made in UK exclusively for Heal's and it is 100% mineral wax. Check the website to be tempted . www.heals.com

*In Store* For the fashion friend who loves candles the Biba Plum Velvet Statement candle at House of Fraser will be the perfect gift. The holder is printed with the unmistakable Biba logo and the scent is a voluptuous plum with spice and woody notes. www.houseoffraser.co.uk
