Advent dinner candle numbered 1 to 24, snowmen and robins design

About this product

This Advent dinner candle shows Alison Gardiner’s snowmen design, with little robins, falling snowflakes and the words Merry Christmas, and the numbers 1 to 24 run down its side. Lit once a day in December, it burns down to the next number each time. It is unscented and made of paraffin wax.

The candle is 29.5 cm tall and 20 mm wide, and the listing gives its weight as 0.23 kg. Burn time reads 10 hours in the title and 12 hours in the description. A box with a lid holds it, and there is no holder in the pack, although the seller left extra space between the number 24 and the base so it fits most holders. The seller states that it was hand crafted in the UK.

What to use it for

Use it in a candle holder sold separately, lighting it a little each day in December and using the numbers as a guide to how far it has burned. The listing says it can be dressed with holly sprigs and Christmas decorations for a table centrepiece.

Care and safety

Wipe the candle with a dry cloth, as the care line says, and keep it in its lidded box until December.
