Smelly Candle Hamper?

reehsetin · 8 October 2007 at 11:20PM

ive been inspired by all the great hampers made :T
mums very hard to shop for doesnt 'need' anything
only thing she gets excited about is smelly candles, any ideas what to include apart from candles obviously, im gonna put in a new breast cancer badge aswell so anything within those lines too shes not into the fashion part of it just a cause thats close to her
any where can i get some nice candles for a decent price, in london, if i can i dont wanna order online my packages tend to be opened (nosey brother) so she'd see the contents
she'd kill me if i spent a lot

Tesco have some clearance smelly candles. They are little mini ones in little ceramic pots come in packs of nine reduced to 99p wrapped nicely and smell nice. Sorry can't remember more details. You could also look for floating candles perhaps, they often come in gift sets including dye for the water etc.

Sure your mum will be chuffed with the hamper. Good Luck.

Not sure if there is a Wilkinsons near you but they normally have really cheap but nice candles, essential oils, burners etc. And nice photo frames too.

Wilkinsons have some really nice smelly candles in at the moment. How about buying a lovley big deep vase and a really nice big church candle, decorate top of vase in Christmassy ribbon and viola! A cheap but nice present.

great suggestions, ill let you know how i get on, the tesco ones sound perfect
hopefully the tickled pink candle is scented

the church candles tend to be non scented aren't they?
if i can get a scented one that would be great it would last her a while!

hopefully i can check Wilkinsons its a little out of the way but i have got a a couple of weeks so!

Try looking on e-bay i find Partylite candles are one of the best they smell lovely, apparently Yankee candles are also nice but i haven't had the pleasure of smelling them yet

Tk max have posh smelling candles at silly prices aswell as normal candle gift sets.I also find the pier have lovely candles &votives which are on offer most of the time.Have you considered decorating plain candles yourself with beads and diamontes etc-its not difficult and it will add a personal touch.?

adsa do a load of the breast cancer pink things - how about a pair of slippers so she can have cosy feet when candles are flickering?

I would recommend Yankie Candles they are a bit pricier but they do last and have a wonderful smell, if you have a Dobbies near you they are a good stockist as well as ebay

Yankee Candles are sooo gorgeous. I have a 'baby powder' one lit now and it brings back so many memories.

You can buy them on ebay as well. I buy a few of the smaller ones (samplers) for about £1.50 each and alternate the fragrances.

They do cost a bit more than other candles but well worth it IMO.
