On the high street, Arket, H&M and Zara have plenty of options if you’re on a budget. We love thethe latter’s super slim tapered candles in off-white – a super chic and elegant option if you’re creating a pared back, understated tablescape.

Candlestick holders also make great gifts for any interiors lovers out there. Tooka’s cherry red bow holders will bring a vintage charm to a dinner table or mantle, whilst Mrs Alice’s red lantern tealight holders look like little lamps on your table but are battery powered and small in stature, making them a great mood-making but space-saving hack. Available in a multitude of cute colours, we use them year-round for dinner parties too.
Look to Anna + Nina and Abigail Ahern for Christmas-themed candles that fall on just the right side of kitsch.
We can take or leave actual figgy pudding, but we are a little obsessed with these Christmas dessert-sprinkled candles of joy. Treat yourself for the festive period or gift the family interiors enthusiast.
