Christmas Candles: Choosing Fragrance and Table Settings
Share
A Christmas candle can be a small seasonal detail or the centre of a table setting. Choose the fragrance and shape around the room, then plan a safe position before adding decorations.
In this guide
Leave space around the flame
A candle should not be surrounded by wrapping paper, foliage, ribbons or other combustible decorations. Plan a clear space rather than fitting the flame into a tightly packed seasonal display.
Check the listing before ordering
Confirm the quantity supplied, candle dimensions, fragrance and whether a holder is included. A photograph may show a styled arrangement containing several items. Use the written product details to understand exactly what you are buying.
Use candles safely
Keep a burning candle attended, in a stable suitable holder and clear of anything that could catch fire. Follow its instructions and extinguish it before leaving the room. Keep children and pets away from the flame and hot wax.
Make it a considered gift
Ask whether fragrance is welcome, and choose a size that fits the recipient’s space. Include any instructions with the gift. For venues and shared spaces, check the rules on open flames before planning a display.
