Candle It

If you’re a scented candle addict then you have reached Nirvana! This shop has an fantastic range of Yankee and Woodwick candles. These are not cheap brands but you do get a lot of hours out of them. My favourite time at the shop is winter when they have their festive ranges. I recommend their Eggnog, holiday spice and orange spice scents! They have a large range of tartlets for melting in burners. They also have a range arty wall pieces, pretty home decorations and hand made jewellery. If it’s time to chill out head to Candle-​it!

Oh look, another shop that sells things and stuff. What stuff? Oh you know, stuff that you want and need. Like key holders and candelabras. That sort of stuff. I’m probably being a bit acerbic and unfair. I just don’t really have time for shops that sell ‘stuff’.
The other thing about this places is the smell. They have a massive collection of candles (duh!), scented and unscented. The thing is, a single scented candle on its own can be quite pleasant. Even a few can be OK. But a whole shop full of clashing scents is positively nauseating. To me anyway. You might like that.
I’m not saying this is a bad shop, that wouldn’t be fair at all. It’s got myriad candles and an impressive greetings card assortment. And loads and loads of stuff. Gifts, some people call them. It’s just not for me. I’m told it’s because I’m a man and I just don’t get it. I don’t think I want to either.

I used to and, to an extent, still do hate places like this but I’m open-​minded about this one. It’s a ‘gifts and greetings’ shop — the bane of visits to remote villages with the family as a child. I was here last week with my mum as she wanted to have a look inside for — specifically — some terracotta coloured candles. The ladies inside seemed pleasant and directed took her in the right direction, and she left content with two terracotta candles costing £6.
It also sells gifts and little ornaments and things to fill the mantlepiece with. As you can probably tell, I’m no expert in this field but it all seemed pretty reasonably priced. I’ll definitely bear this place in mind for future Mother’s Days and impending birthdays.

Lovely candles! Another place where my wages could be frittered away but also full of really nice gifts for special occasions. I got my aunt a pair of really lovely painted champagne stems for her 50^th birthday and they went down a treat.
They also sell lovely bits and bobs like decorative angels and trinkets as well as the ubiquitous candles. If you love Yankee Candles this is the place to come and they are very reasonably priced as well considering how much use you get out of them. Their festive/​winter range is just lovely.

Such a lovely shop filled with wonderful candles.
The stock the infamous Yankee candles, candles that smell so good with out burning them.
Best range of candles that I have ever seen.
They also have I nice range of gift warp, cards and small gifts.
They do have some great random items floating about too.
My favourite thing I brought from there is candles that where especially made to burn wedged in the top of a bottle. Its oozes lots of different colours down the bottle lovely.

This is a great place you can smell the candles before you even enter the shop, but if you are only there to buy one you are going to have a hard job deciding which one to buy I went in to buy a prezzie and ended up buying loads for myself as they were all so beautifull.

I was going through a big candle phase recently and finding Candle It, a shop dedicated to gorgeous smelling, colourful scented candles, was really exciting!
They are dedicated to candles, with lots of different ranges available. There are some excellent bargains, and great ideas for birthday presents.
They also sell birthday cards and other bits and bobs (as well as a selection of puppets quite randomly!) and I think its worth a look if you love candles or are in need of a quick present idea for your mum! Lovely wee shop!
