Christmas Advent Candle

A beautifully simple way to count down the days to Christmas. This extra-long Advent candle is printed from 1 to 24, ready to burn a little each day as Christmas gets closer.

Hand-poured in a rich festive red with crisp white numbering, its pared-back design feels wonderfully nostalgic while still looking smart and contemporary. Light it each evening throughout December and watch your way down to Christmas Eve – a lovely little ritual for the whole family.

Each candle is handmade in a certified Fair Trade production facility in Indonesia, using 100% plant-based stearin wax, ecological pigments and a pure cotton wick. The specially formulated wax is particularly stable and lightfast, helping the candle retain its shape and beautiful colour.

Once your order is on its way, you’ll receive tracking information so you can follow its journey.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I’M NOT HOME?

Our parcels are sent with Royal Mail. If they’re unable to deliver your parcel, they’ll provide details of your delivery options, which may include rearranging delivery or collecting your parcel.

If a parcel is eventually returned to us because delivery couldn’t be completed, we’ll contact you. If you’d like us to send it again, we may need to charge the postage cost for redelivery.

If you know you won’t be home, you may prefer to have your order delivered to an alternative address where someone will be available to receive it.

OVERSEAS DELIVERY

At the moment, we’re unfortunately unable to ship outside the UK. We hope to change this in the future.
