My Christmas Candle Collection


I love candles and not a night goes by at the moment without me lighting a couple of candles. In the run up to Christmas I seem to have amassed quite a few festive candles and they are really lifting my Christmas spirits! (Warning: picture heavy post!)


Lily Flame Christmas Spice Candle - £8.50 - Link
This is the first Lily Flame candle I've tried and it's one of my favourite scents - cinnamon. This is described as "a warm blend of cinnamon and cloves" and comes in a tin in the most festive colours - red and gold. I love the cute little coloured wax squares that eventually melt as the candle burns. The scent is beautiful, strong but not overwhelming and according to Lily Flame, I should be able to enjoy burning this for about 35 hours.




Yankee Candle 5 Votive Christmas Gift Set - £7.50 - Link 
I bought this from Dobbies Garden Centre and according to their website it can be bought in their stores only. If you can find it I recommend picking it up - it's such an affordable way to try 5 different Yankee Christmas scents; Christmas Eve, Snow in Love, Apple and Pine Needle, Christmas Cookie and Red Apple Wreath. It would make great stocking filler for a candle lover. I think my favourite has to be Christmas Eve - it's fruity but in a really festive way! 



NEOM Organics Harmonise Home Candle* - £39.50 - Link
The Harmonise candle from NEOM Organics is a blend of pine, cedarwood and eucalyptus, a gorgeously woody scent that reminds me of Christmas trees! I think this is one the men would definitely be a fan of too! Although NEOM candles are expensive, they have holistic properties (this one is to treat tiredness and encourage focus), they contain only vegetable wax and pure essential oils for clean and even burning and up to 50 hours of burn time. Plus they come in the most lovely packaging as seen in the picture. 




What are your favourite Christmas candles and/or scents? I'd love some recommendations!
