Bring a little of the places you love home for Christmas. My Postcards from Home candles are housed in glass vessels wrapped in detailed landmarks, architecture and skylines that glow beautifully when the candle is lit, like a postcard from somewhere you love. Each one is filled with Pomander, my festive blend of sweet orange, cinnamon and clove essential oils, inspired by Christmases past and the timeless Christingle tradition.

CHOOSE YOUR POSTCARD

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Wales: My home, and where every Lavender & Lemon candle is hand-poured. The Wales design is a love letter to a land of castles, mountains and coastline, and to the warmth of a Welsh Christmas: crackling fires, carols and a cup of something spiced after a frosty winter walk. Nadolig Llawen.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 London: A city that truly sparkles in December. The London design captures the capital's famous skyline, bringing to mind twinkling lights, festive window displays and evenings wrapped up against the cold. A thoughtful gift for Londoners, or anyone who has left a little of their heart there.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland: Grand, romantic and steeped in history. The Scotland design celebrates a country of castles, historic cities and dramatic winter landscapes, where the festive season rolls right into Hogmanay. Perfect for anyone with Scottish roots or happy memories of a winter in the Highlands.

HOW IT'S MADE

Hand-poured in Wales using a blend of coconut and rapeseed wax and a gently crackling wood wick, with no paraffin or synthetic fragrance.

POMANDER FOR CHRISTMAS, HOME ALL YEAR ROUND

These candles are made for the festive season, but your postcard glass is made to last. Once your Pomander candle has burned down, refill it with Pomander while stocks last, or with a Home Aromatherapy Candle Refill, my blend of five essential oils, so it can glow on your shelf long after the decorations come down. Or simply add a tea light for a soft, flickering glow.

BURN TIME

Approx. 40–50 hours.

GIFT-READY PRESENTATION

Elegantly boxed, this candle makes a thoughtful Christmas gift or a treat for your own home.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT

The Postcards from Home Candle is more than a candle; it's a piece of home. With a design that lights up the places you love, a nostalgic festive scent and a vessel you'll keep refilling all year, it's a little Christmas tradition you can return to every year.

Scent Profile

Crafted with pure essential oils and renewable coconut and rapeseed wax for an even burn, so you can enjoy the natural scent of essential oils without compromise.

- Sweet Orange: Bright, sweet and juicy, bringing a cheerful, festive lift to the blend.
- Cinnamon: Warm and spicy, adding comforting depth and a touch of Christmas nostalgia.
- Clove: Rich and aromatic, grounding the blend with a cosy, spiced warmth.

How To Use

Treat your candle with care and maximise burn time by following a few simple instructions & safety precautions. This will ensure that you get the very best from your candle, each and every time.

Once the candle is extinguished, allow the wax to solidify before re-lighting. Stop burning when approximately 1cm of wax is left in the vessel.

✔️ Trim the wick between burns by pinching the burnt pieces of wood. Make sure the wax is fully cooled first.

✔️ Burn on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from flammable objects.

✔️ Never leave a burning candle unattended.

✔️ Allow the candle to melt to the edge of the vessel. This prevents future tunnelling.

✔️ Avoid excessive burn time. Do not burn for more than 4 hours at a time.

✔️ Keep out of reach of pets and children.

Refill & Reuse

Questions

Why is this candle priced higher than standard candles?

Each candle is hand-poured in Wales with 200g of coconut and rapeseed wax and pure essential oils, in a decorative glass vessel that's made to be kept and refilled. It burns for approximately 40–50 hours and comes gift-boxed.

So you're paying for the materials, the craft and a vessel you'll use for years, rather than a jar you throw away.

Will the fragrance be overpowering?

Scent is personal, but Pomander is a balanced blend of sweet orange, cinnamon and clove essential oils. Essential oil candles usually have a softer scent throw than synthetically fragranced candles, so most people find it warm and festive rather than overpowering.

How long does the candle burn?

Approximately 40–50 hours when burned correctly. To get the most from it:

- Trim the wick between burns by pinching off the burnt pieces of wood, once the wax has cooled.
- Let the wax melt to the edge of the vessel each time, to prevent tunnelling.
- Don't burn it for more than 4 hours at a time.

Is this candle safe to burn around children and pets?

Treat it as you would any candle: an open flame and hot wax need care.

- Keep it out of reach of children and pets.
- Never leave it burning unattended.
- Burn it on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from draughts and anything flammable.
- Air the room once you've blown it out.

Some pets are sensitive to essential oils, so if you're unsure, check with your vet.

What is it made from, and can I recycle it?

The wax is a blend of rapeseed and coconut oil made in Europe, with no paraffin, soy, palm, beeswax or synthetic additives, and the wood wick gently crackles as it burns.

The glass vessel is made to be refilled and reused. The candle box is cardboard and can be recycled, and if you decide not to refill or reuse the vessel, it can be recycled too.

I have allergies. Is this candle suitable for me?

Essential oils contain naturally occurring allergens. These are listed on the website and on the candle label, so please check them before buying if you have allergies or sensitivities. If you're unsure, ask your GP or pharmacist.

What does Pomander smell like?

Warm and festive. Sweet orange brings a bright, juicy lift, cinnamon adds gentle spice and clove gives it depth. It's inspired by the traditional pomander, an orange studded with cloves, and the smell of Christmases past.

Will the candle suit my home?

The glass vessel is designed to look beautiful on a mantelpiece, windowsill or table, lit or unlit. Once the candle has burned down, refill it or pop a tea light inside so it keeps glowing long after the decorations come down.

Are refills available?

Yes. Pomander refills are available for the festive season while stocks last, and you can refill your vessel with a Home Aromatherapy Candle Refill all year round. Or simply place a tea light inside.

What makes this candle different?

It's hand-poured in Wales with coconut and rapeseed wax, pure essential oils and a wood wick, in a decorative glass vessel you'll keep and refill. It burns for approximately 40–50 hours and arrives gift-boxed, ready to give or to keep for yourself.
