GK candles

You may have seen me mention these in my recent gift guide but I wanted to tell you a little more about them!

Gloria Kennedy candles

Gloria Kennedy candle gift set

£49

This great candle trio contains:

Lunar; aromatic spices of red thyme, cinnamon and nutmeg are fortified in creamy coconut crème utilising hints of soft cyclamen and jasmine blossoms which are finally marinated in an oriental wooded base.

Twilight; a botanical delight with leafy green foliage fortified with fresh lavender tussles. 

Amorous; a delicate floral scent married with Oriental woods and succulent sweet amber notes and serenaded in heady jasmine.

Gloria Kennedy candles

These candles are specially made so that the scent is evenly distributed and they smell gorgeous right down to the very bottom. They seem to last for hours and really are luxurious and would be great for any candle fan!

My favourite one is the Amorous scent, the candles seem to last for ages! I have burnt each one to test the scent but this one I have been using more often and I have used nearly down to the bottom of it, and I have been burning it for hours!

I do find that with cheaper candles they smell nice the first few burns but then the scent dies out and as you get closer down you can’t really smell them but with these they smell beautiful all the way through. This is a great gift for yourself or anyone else that appreciates candles.

The range is handmade and only made using natural products and aromatherapy oils, they also have a great range of soaps 🙂

Christmas Gift Guide 6 of 8: Homeware

This year I have put together a Christmas gift guide, they could be presents for a family member, a friend or even a treat for yourself!

I have put them into categories the best I can and I have put very short reviews on each product. If you want to know more about any of the products tweet me @sarahtrademark and we can have a chat 🙂

Homeware

Jo Malone English Pear And Freesia Travel Candle

Jo Malone English Pear And Freesia Travel Candle
£22

Everyone loves a good scent, for me this one by Jo Malone is my favourite smell in the world. Candles are a great way to bring a scent into your home without being too overpowering like a room spray might be. Being a luxury brand the candles can be quite expensive for a large one but this travel size is still a good size and worth the money! I light mine in the evening and it has lasted really well so far and makes our bedroom smell so good!

Remote Control Candles

Remote Control Candles
£12.95

These are such a good idea. We have a cat so have to be careful where we put candles, so in the conservatory something like this is great. They are easy to use and can be use indoors or outdoors.

I have recently reviewed this here but wanted to show you the lovely Christmas scents they have released.

The Christmas scents I have tried are: festive tree, christmas spice, christmas time and mistletoe & wine. I just love how simple these are to use and also how such small cubes can give off such a great scent!

Tuscany Candle - Santa's Magic Key

Tuscany Candle – Santa’s Magic Key

£16.99

This is a limited edition candle with a key (to help Santa!). I can’t describe the smell apart from saying it is festive! The gold jar looks great and could be kept long after the candle has all burnt out.

Tuscany Candle - Candy Apple

Tuscany Candle – Candy Apple

£10.99

I love Christmas candles, they smell great an fit in with the colour scheme of our living room (red). This one smells really sweet and it seems to be lasting for ages!

Chickidee wooden sign

Chickidee wooden sign
£8

This sign pretty much sums up our house! My cat struts around like he owns the place haha. The signs created by Chickidee are great value and they have some really great phrases. It is high quality and you can either put it on the side or hang it on the wall. It is worth checking out their other phrases and other homeware gifts.

Bundles of fun material pack

Bundles of fun material pack
£15

This box contains approx 4KG of fabric and is great for anyone that loves a good DIY project or anything crafting. It contains a great mix of different prints and can be used to make place mats, decorations, patchwork, lots of great things!

I think this would be great for anyone that likes to make things or anyone with young children that likes making things.

Gift box crackers

Gift box crackers
Various prices

These are a great idea as presents or as crackers to open at the Christmas table. You can fill them with whatever you like and once opened you can even re use them! This would be great for anyone as you can put whatever you want in them, make up, skincare, small novelty toys or gadgets, you really can personalise them.

Pick N Melt

I have never tried wax melts before so was really excited to come across www.picknmelt.com as they have hundreds of different scents to chose from!

Pick N Melt

Wax melts are pretty cool as you light a tealight underneath and melt them in a small bowl, as they melt they smell amazing!

Pick N Melt

You can buy single scents or mixed ones, it really is like pick and mix for wax!

My favourite one is pink pepper pod, but there are so so many to chose from! It is very novel to have wax melts as I have always used candles or reed diffusers in the past and never tried anything like this.

The scent is quite strong which is good as it makes the room smell so good!

The also sell candles as well, the one I have been loving is sweet pea. The candles last for ages 🙂
