As summer almost draws to a close, it means we're now starting to get our organised hats on and beginning our Christmas prep *very* early. We don’t know about you, but the months literally seem to fly by, and before we know it, it’ll be mince pie season.

Well that all ends here, because the summer sun has given us some serious inspo for the ultimate festive gift. When we can’t soak up the vitamin D any longer, what’s the next best thing? Um, candles of course. And what’s the next best thing after regular candles? Christmas candles. Duh.
