Festive scented candles are a great Christmas gift idea for the home. One thing that always makes you feel festive are the smells associated with Christmas such as cinnamon, mulled wine, nutmeg, fresh pine, cloves. I have a great selection of festive scented candles below which would make lovely gifts for friends, family or for your home – yes I buy gifts for my home : ) Keep reading to take a look at some wonderful Christmas scented candles, but first I want to let you know a little about the candle I was sent.
Illumens Candles sent me their nutmeg and cinnamon scented candle to review. It retails at £20 and has a burn time of 40 hours and so it’s priced perfectly for a gift and would make a stylish addition to any mantle-piece or a coffee table. The candle arrived beautifully packaged in a box with a festive red ribbon and a card detailing information about the Christmas candle. These little touches add some personality to the lovely candle and would give you confidence that anyone unwrapping it would be delighted with this Christmas gift.
As soon as you open the box you can smell the festive spices of nutmeg and cinnamon oils in the Illumens Candle. It’s this traditional Christmas scent that helps to create a warm and inviting atmosphere in your home.
Handmade in Suffolk and developed by husband and wife team Caroline and Russell, their candles are something quite special. And this one in particular makes me want to curl up with a blanket in front of Downton Abbey and with a warm glass of mulled wine!
Other scents in the Illumens winter range include juniper and spruce, fig and ginger and clementine and a great way to help create that magical festive spirit in your home or give as a gift to someone else.

I promised my readers no Christmas themed posts before November as who want to think about Christmas when you have pumpkins to carve!? But now that Halloween and bonfire night is out of the way, we can all start getting excited about Christmas… and I mean so excited!! I’ve always loved Christmas, it’s such a special time of year and everything about it is so special. Take a look at some of my other Christmas gift ideas.
