About Candles

Find candles that feel a little more special than the usual supermarket shelf. Our candle collection brings together scented candles, decorative candles and thoughtful candle gifts for birthdays, thank-you presents, housewarmings, cosy nights in and “just because” moments.

Whether you want a soft everyday fragrance for your living room, a pretty candle for a bedside table or a fun gift candle with personality, this collection is designed to make choosing easy. Pick from fresh, fruity, floral, woody, cosy and foodie-inspired scents, with styles that look lovely on shelves, mantelpieces, desks and gift tables.

For a more design-led candle gift, explore Milk Jar Candle Co., including Milkjar coconut soy candles with wooden wicks and cosy scent blends. They make a lovely choice for self-care gifts, stylish home fragrance and anyone who enjoys a more considered candle.

If you are shopping for birthday candles, milestone age candles or cheerful “thinking of you” presents, head to our Best Kept Secrets candles. This range is especially strong for gift candles for mum, gran, grandma, friends, daughters, sisters and someone special.

For something playful, foodie and a little bit unusual, our Paddywax Bistro candles are perfect for candle lovers who like quirky packaging and decorative home fragrance with personality.

Candles are easy gifts because they feel thoughtful, useful and relaxing without being too personal. Choose a scented candle for a housewarming, a special candle for a birthday, a decorative candle for a home lover or a cosy fragrance for someone who deserves a little time out.

For bigger gifting moments, pair a candle with something from our wider home fragrance collection, such as reed diffusers, wax melts or wax melt burners.

For relaxing evenings, look for soft, warm and woody scents. For kitchens and bathrooms, fresh, citrus or clean fragrances work beautifully. For gift candles, choose a design that matches the occasion first, then pick a scent you think they will enjoy.
