For teachers, neighbours, friends or gifts for yourself, candles are an affordable purchase which most people love to receive. Here are a few candle gift ideas for Christmas I’ve spotted in Home Bargains…

    Wickford & Co’s Christmas Advent Tealight Calendar

    There are two versions of this advent calendar. Both contain 24 tealights in 4 different fragrances, which is Gingerbread, French Vanilla, Mulled Wine and Warm Apple & Cinnamon. The difference between the two is the packaging. Each one is beautifully boxed in a traditional individually doored advent but are coloured differently with a different design on the front. Both festive in appearance, great size and only £3.49.

    Wickford & Co Large Jar Candles

    Gingerbread has to be one of the most popular scents for this time of year. But let’s not forget other fragrances available in the large Wickford & Co glass jar candles. Warm Apple & Cinnamon and Mulled Wine are both available, great for the Autumn and Winter season fragrance wise and perfect look wise as well. Weighty and large and only £2.99 each.

    Candy Lane Jar Candles

    Nicely presented with modern illustrated labels that has a traditional twist to them, is what makes Candy Lane candles stand out. All come in clear glass jars with a tin lid, and are a good size. These come in Gingerbread, Snowflake Wishes and Nordic Pine, which covers many different fragrance types e.g bakery and spicy, fresh and woody, sweet and slightly fruity. I’ve bought these as gifts in the past and they always go down well. £2.99 each.

    Have you seen any of these in your local store and have you bought them any of them? If you’re struggling to buy a small, inexpensive gift for someone and not too sure what to buy, definitely have a look at these.

  • Glow’s Christmas 2023 Advent Calendar Day 22 to 25

    I can honestly say, despite having many advent calendars over the years, Glow’s Christmas 2023 Advent Calendar has been the best! The best I have ever had. The mix of different products, the fragrances, the sizes, have all been phenomenal with no day and reveal disappointing me. What does disappoint me is that it has to end! And with that, I’m going to go through what Day 22 to 25 had to offer.

    Glow’s Christmas 2023 Advent Calendar
    Day 22 Bon Bon Perfume

    Bon Bon Perfume is that kind of fragrance which smells as a fragrance should, expensive and fabulous in quality! Bon Bon is feminine, floral and fruity. I adore this and I’m currently hiding it from my 12 year old daughter before she steals it!

    Day 22 Bob Bon Perfume
    Day 23 Muscle Pain Massage Oil

    Containing eucalyptus, lavender and cannabis salvia oil, Muscle Pain Massage Oil is ideal for tired, achy bodies who need that extra TLC and anti inflammatory action thanks to the ingredients it contains.

    Day 24 Christmas Market Wax Melt

    A winning fragrance for all bakery fans! Christmas Market Wax Melt is filled with vanilla, sugar and warming and comforting spices. Ideal to melt and enjoy during colder and darker days while keeping comfortable and warm inside.

    Day 24 Christmas Market Wax Melt
    Day 25 Apple & Cinnamon Candle

    Last but not least for the final day of the calendar is Apple & Cinnamon Candle. A generous medium sized candle which is simple and classy in appearance. The scent of this is fresh, crisp, sweet apple with a hint of sugar and winter friendly, spicy cinnamon. Beautiful!

    Day 25 Apple & Cinnamon Candle

    So that’s Glow’s Christmas 2023 Advent Calendar completed! I have loved every, single day of this calendar. The wax melts, the bath and body products, EVERYTHING! And do you know what the best bit is? Although the day’s have ended I still have so much product left that I can continue to enjoy this calendar at least for a good month if not more to come!

  • Glow’s Christmas 2023 Advent Calendar Day 15 to 21

    While my children get stuck in daily with their chocolate advent calendar, I’ve been enjoying the various products that have been included in my Christmas 2023 Advent Calendar from Glow. So far I’ve enjoyed wax melts and bath products from Day’s 1 to 7 and Day’s 8 to 14, but what did I find ‘behind’ Day’s 15 to 22?

    Glow’s Christmas 2023 Advent Calendar
    Day 15 Keys To The Kingdom Wax Melt

    Think of bubble gum, cotton candy, those types of fragrances and this is what Keys To The Kingdom smells like. Sweet, sugary, fruity, gorgeous!

    Day 16 Positivity Wax Melt

    A slighter cool, minty fragrance with strawberries mixed in. This reminds me of how candy canes smell like but even better. Great fragrance to melt over Christmas.

    Day 16 Positivity Wax Melt
    Day 17 Bah Hum Bug Bubble Bath

    The packaging of Bah Hum Bug Bubble Bath is just adorable! It’s housed in a small plastic bottle shaped like a bauble/Christmas light. This has an almost herbal, medicinal mint smell to it which is fresh and very different to any of the other minty scented products in this advent.

    Day 18 Oat, Milk & Honey Bath Soak

    A very relaxing and soothing bath soak which was the perfect way to end a stressful and busy day when I used this. Not an ordinary bath soak, but one filled with magnesium and dried flowers giving it a holistic and botanical feel.

    Day 18 Oat, Milk & Honey Bath Soak
    Day 19 A Trick Amongst The Treats Wax Melt

    A brilliant and unusual citrus based wax melt. A Trick Amongst The Treats has a more lemongrass smell to it rather than lemon itself because it’s not particularly zesty. There’s definitely a hint of mint in this and overall a great fragrance with a herbal scent to it.

    Day 20 The Perfect Christmas Room Spray

    A fruity, berry based home fragrance product, possible cranberries or cherries, with a frosted wintery scent to it rather than sugary and obviously fruit based, if that makes sense?

    Day 20 The Perfect Christmas Room Spray
    Day 21 Mai Tai Hand Cream

    Mai Tai Hand Cream is a rich, but not thick hand cream. Very nourishing on the hands and the scent is to die for! Zesty, citrus, lemon and very invigorating. Love this and love how it smells and moisturises my hands.

    Day 21 Mai Tai Hand Cream

    Although I’ve enjoyed every day of this advent calendar, Day’s 15 to 21 possibly more so. The different types of products for each day have been so varied from home fragrance, bath products and body products. All top quality.

  • Glow’s Christmas 2023 Advent Calendar Day 8 to 14

    When it comes to my Christmas 2023 Advent Calendar from Glow, I’ve enjoyed 7 days of beautifully scented and seasonally smelling wax melts. But from Day 8 it gets much more interesting because it’s not just wax melts in this advent calendar, but other goodies too. So what did I find behind Day’s 8 to 14?

    Glow’s Christmas 2023 Advent Calendar
    Day 8- Tropical Wax Melt

    Tropical Wax Melt makes me think of oranges with cloves poked in them because this is a mix of spices and oranges. It has an almost bakery smell to it and is definitely a winter inspired fragrance.

    Day 9-Peach Sparkles Foaming Bath Salts

    An almost sweetie smelling peach fragranced bath product, and such a generous amount too! I’ve not had chance to use this as December has been very busy so far, but once I have my few days off for Christmas, I’m getting in the bath with this!

    Day 9 Peach Sparkles Foaming Bath Salts
    Day 10-The Essentials Box Wax Melt

    Fizzy, clean and fresh citrus with vanilla giving it that added sweet and comforting feel that only vanilla can give. Essentials Box Wax Melt is stunning!

    Day 11-Twisted Tinsel Foaming Hand Wash

    Another body product which was a delight to see, especially with it being full sized. This hand care product smells just like strawberry Chewits sweets, which means I can’t put this out yet as it would last 2 seconds! Not even a standard hand wash but a FOAMING one! Impressive!

    Day 12-Family Love Wax Melt

    Family Love Wax Melt is that mouth watering mix of lots and lots of berries! Fruity, fragrant yet somehow still has quite a winter feel to it.

    Day 13- Family Love/Love Family Wax Melt

    This is a sugary, sweet, vanilla fragranced piece of wax. It’s very rich and has a slight chocolate smell to it which would make any bakery scent lover happy.

    Day 13 Family Love Wax Melt
    Day 14-Cosy Nights In Wax Melt

    Cosy Nights In has a minty, cooling, peppermint smell to it mixed in with strawberry. Perfect balance of sweetness, mint and fruit so not sickly, cold or heady.

    Day 14 Cosy Nights In Wax Melt

    So that’s Day 8 to 14 done and dusted. How exciting is it to see some bath and body products in this advent? Although the two mentioned I haven’t used yet I don’t want to rush using them, I want to take some time out to enjoy them. But they both smell amazing. All the wax, yet again, have smelt incredible and there hasn’t been one I haven’t enjoyed.

    Well done Glow!
