Vineyard Candles

I love scented candles and I love pina colada’s, so when I opened this gift at Christmas I was pretty damn happy.

What I didn’t pick up on until several weeks later while taking a closer look and sniff, was the unusual glass jar that the candle was housed within.

It looked an awful lot like the bottom of a wine bottle.

After a bit of googling I discovered that it WAS in fact a wine bottle!

Say hello to Vineyard Candles.

Vineyard candles are Cornish artisans of funky glassware and candles from repurposed wine and beer bottles. 

Inspired by the bottles from their local Cornish vineyards they have fifteen years of experience creating new and unique gifts with each bottle cut and ground by hand and the rims polished by flame to give a perfect finish. 

The luxury hand poured natural wax candles are spiced with trendy drink inspired fragrances and come packaged in a beautifully designed tube.

How cool is that!

So cool in fact that their candle won Gift of the year 2016.

The candles cost £19.50 and are available in a wide range of booze inspired scents including Prosecco, Shiraz, Moito and Gin and Tonic and they smell absolutely gorgeous!

I love how unique these candles are and I love that they are British made, so if you love scented candles too get behind British businesses and try them out!

Kiss Air Cocktail Candles

One of the things I’ve missed most since falling pregnant is being able to have a drink. 

 I’m not exactly a big drinker, but do enjoy a nice glass of wine every now and then and I’m REALLY missing my M&S cans of Pina Colada- seriously, they are soooooo yum!

So, imagine my joy when I discovered that Kiss Air candles have a cocktail inspired range of candles! 

As you probably all know by now I love a scented candle, so to find some that also combine my love for scrummy cocktails and I’m pretty much in heaven, especially given that I can’t indulge in the real deal for now!

The newest addition to their range is Gin and Tonic and yes, it smells JUST LIKE a real one!

The fragrance begins with bubbly top notes of club soda with warm citrus enhancements, followed by middle notes of fresh rosemary and juniper all embraced by a bottom note of crisp cedar.

I wasn’t sure that the smell of G&T would translate well into a home fragrance but I was seriously wrong, it’s absolutely divine and perfect for people who can’t deal with really sickly sweet scents.

Speaking of sweet scents is their Pina Colada candle that I may have spent an inappropriately long period of time sniffing when I first received it!

This little tin of pure joy smells of ripe, sweet pineapples combined with creamy coconut and yes, this is my absolute favourite! The scent is spot on and if like me you love really sacchariney scents then this is your boy!

Now, while I’m not a fan of Mojitos to drink, the scent translates beautifully into the form of a candle.

This cocktail candle features strong noted of juicy lime and sugar, balanced out by the soft, gentle notes of mint leaves and rum.

It’s deliciously light and leaves your home smelling really fresh and fruity.

Each of these fabulous Cocktail inspired candles from Kiss Air candles cost just £8.50 each and burn for between 25-30 hours, meaning your getting a lot of gorgeous fragrance for your money!

The entire Kiss Air range of candles are available now from their website.
