You can’t go wrong with a Jo Malone candle. Yes, they come with a hefty pricetag but for good reason – the scent travels around your entire home and it’s a candle that will last for a long time. We think Velvet Rose & Oud is the ideal scent for Valentine’s because it has romantic florals mixed with smokey wood notes – the perfect combo.

Because everybody loves the Moomins, right? This gorgeous candle features a wonderful illustration of soulmates Moomintroll and Snorkmaiden sharing some seasonal love. The outer surface of the candle does not melt away, meaning the light glows through the outer surface and can be used to house a tealight once the candle has burnt out. Why not match it with a cute Moomin wall print as a gift idea?
