Tealight candles are not just for heating up teapots!

Many people may not know this, but tealight candles were originally made to heat up teapots! They were also used to keep fondues and other food dishes warm where they nestled hidden away and ignored in a base underneath the dish.  

Today, the little tealight candle has been elevated to a new status and so they should be. These fabulous versatile candles have become the in-thing for home décor, offering a host of ideas to enhance the ambiance in your living space. 

For a dinner event, try floating tealight candles. Fill a container with water, place a few flowers inside and light the candles. They will give off the magical glow you need as a final touch to your tables. 

For a rustic feeling, set up a small garden design in your living space. Pebbles, wood containers and potted plants will create a luscious natural oasis. Add our Chinese Gooseberry & Peach Blossom tealights to enhance the forest green effect.

Go for bold red on a romantic occasion. Set your table with a luscious black velvet table cloth. Lay out gleaming red plates piled high with decadent treats and cover the table with our Cherry Cider & Spiced Vanilla tealights.

After a hard day at work, relax and unwind with your very own home-made spa bath experience. Loads of bubbles is a must and tealight candles dotted around the bathtub slowly releasing a fabulous scent of Sweet Spice & Serenity will calm your soul.  

Let your creative spirit loose! Tealight candles are small, versatile and fragrant. They are also relatively inexpensive and won't break the bank.

Our tealight candles are superior in quality, we use the highest quality wax, premium aluminium cups and specifically designed wicks that are meticulously assembled to create a tealight that burns cleanly for up to 5 hours.
