The Candle Gift Post
It is a tradition now for me to have a post about Candle Gifts. Every year there are always new additions to the already extensive choice, and also new fragrances are created, especially Limited Edition ones. A candle is a gift that is fine for women, men, teenagers, mums, grandmothers...really anyone will appreciate such a gift. I've picked quite a few so you will have a better idea and also you will know exactly what to get without wasting time traipsing shops and browsing websites. All in one page.
Kuky is a fantastic Italian artist living in France, famous for his colourful artworks. Coming from a fashion background, now he has transported his art onto home decor like beautiful silk cushions and candles. The Mystique candle in the picture is made in Italy by a factory who has been making candles for over 200 years. The fragrance is a bouquet of Casablanca Lily, Vanilla, Amber and Patchouli. It comes in a beautiful thick glass vessel and it is decorated with Kuky artwork. You can find them in Amazon or at www.kukylove.com

All the scents, from the Green Lavender to the Tuberose Petals or the Oudh Geranium, just to name a few, are amazing and available also in mini candles and diffusers. www.urbanapothecarylondon.com
The fragrances of these two candles by White Stuff are among my favourite. I wouldn't know what to choose. Wild Jasmine, Rose and Vanilla or Lavender, Mandarin Oil and Citrus? Given the great price I hope to have at least one in a Secret Santa. These candles are great as a stocking filler or for gifts to work colleagues, teachers, or a nice neighbour. www.whitestuff.com
Shinola is very well known for its leather accessories, watches and more. But for this time I will concentrate on the beautiful candles stocked. There are two different scents. The first one has got the right balance among smoke, leather and shoe polish, while the other one has got gardenia, chestnut and wet cement. Both poured in Brooklyn , they are so popular that you have to be quick to snap one up. www.shinola.co.uk
From Lavender & Lillie, the new Grand Canal Venice collection is inspired by the romantic venetian city. The floral fragrances like Rose, Iris, and Jasmine are balanced by the Vanilla scent, Bergamot and Patchouli. it comes in a beautiful ornate vessel with lid and once the candle is burned out it can be used to store bits and pieces. www.lavenderandlillie.com
The White Company has got beautiful candles and every year it comes up with a new fragrance. Among the incredible choice I've picked the White Christmas one in a Limited Edition and back by popular demand. Its scent of honeysuckle, almond blossom, neroli and frankincense gives a nice warmth to a room. The mercury vessel is amazing and great to display for more festive decoration. www.thewhitecompany.com
