Letterbox gifts have to be one of the best things to come out of this whole pandemic malarkey, so here’s one we really love: Light Box Candles. It’s a luxe natural candle subscription.

Why do we love it? Well, for starters, it’s the perfect excuse to pause and allow yourself a moment of calm: open the box, light the candle, enjoy the scent and breeeaaathe. But more than that, we love that Light Box Candles are entirely natural, cruelty-free, sustainable, and beautiful to boot. Started in 2020 by a new mum keen to explore candles with genuine eco creds, all the candles are specifically non-toxic, and many promote wellbeing, be it relaxation, inspiration or happiness.

Most importantly, of course, they smell amazing. Delivered to your door every month (or on a 3, 6, 12 month basis or one-off), each box includes a hand-picked artisan candle chosen for its gorgeous scent, sustainability credentials, and long burn time (30-50 hours). In each beautifully presented box you’ll also get an ‘about the candle maker’ card, cute matchbox, and a surprise treat.

Chosen by Light Box and sent to your door, it makes supporting artisan, ethical makers all the easier. Gift a friend, or enjoy all by yourself.
