I read that a shop in Melton Mowbray, Leicstershire recently became a stockist on Tuesday this week. They have stated that the Kringle Candles are already their fastest selling product they have EVER stocked.

High praise indeed!!!

Sorry everyone I'm gonna sound so stupid but what does everyone mean when they refer to the "christmas elf"? xxx

Essentially it is a fictional character which visits your home and gets up to a little mischief in the run up to Christmas.

This link probably explains it better and in more depth.

Hello all:wave:I'm new here and from Australia (I was born in the UK though, in Cheshire). I'm also very excited for Christmas this year. It will be a dream come true for us, as after 2 years and 7 IVF attempts and many miscarriages and heartbreak, we now have our beautiful Eloise! She was born on Dec 23rd last year and will be 1 this Christmas. We spent last Christmas in hospital, so i am so looking forward to spending her first Christmas at home with her. Her middle name is Ivy for The Christmas plant ( and rose as well). I'm loving following along here! Xx

btw Ive got Yankee summer candles and love them - the Pink Sand and Sea and Sand are amazing, not sure about how low they burn as mine only just under an inch from the bottom and still has wick, so will see! have heard great things about Kringle too, think House of Fraser sells them?

Thanks for the link!
It is always dangerous for me to be allowed on that site. But I just bought £83 worth of stuff for just over £20. Not bad at all.

Got some retro fabric heart-shaped decorations I'll be using for Christmas. And a bunch of other stuff that I've told myself are presents but will probably end up keeping for myself.
