Candles: hand-poured in England
Our apothecary jar candles are $20 each and hand-poured in England. The winter favorites are Christmas Star and Fireside Nights. For a softer, year-round scent, choose English Rose and Oud or Pomegranate and Plum. Set the candle on a small Turkish tray ($12) to protect the furniture, and you have a gift that is ready to display.
Wax melts and a melter: a cozy starter kit
Wax melts give a candle-like scent with no wick. Our wax melt duos ($6.50) each hold two handmade soya wax melts from England, with up to 40 hours of fragrance, in 11 scents from Cinnamon Latte to Secret Garden. Pair them with the leaf ceramic melter ($20), which glows softly when the tealight is lit.
How to use a wax melter
- Place the melter on a heat-resistant surface.
- Put one wax melt in the top dish.
- Light an unscented tealight (about four hours) and place it underneath.
- Never leave it burning unattended.
Kitchen linens: color for the cold months
A Jangneus kitchen set ($30) pairs one tea towel with two matching Swedish dishcloths, designed in Sweden. Best sellers include Herbs Green, Sheep Black, Dogs Black and Bird Blue. For Christmas, look at the Leaves & Scandi Tree Red and Leaves & Holly Green sets in our Holiday Collection.
