A cheeky 40th birthday gift for the friend who’s already asleep before the party ends: ‘Life begins at 40’, says the label, before admitting everything hurts and you can’t stay up past 9pm. Retro cartoon touches of an alarm clock, a well-worn pillow and a clock stuck at 3am make the joke land. Ideal from siblings, work mates or a partner marking the big four-oh with a laugh.

Your candle questions answered.

How does the multi-buy work?
Your first candle is £20, your second is £15, your third is £10, and your fourth is just £5. That is four candles for £50 instead of £80, taken off automatically in your basket.

Mix any designs and any occasions you like. Every candle after the fourth is £5 too, so eight candles is £70.

When will my order arrive?
Orders placed before 4pm Monday to Friday are sent the same day. Delivery is free on orders over £25, and you’ll see the available delivery options at checkout. Delivery dates are estimates, so please allow extra time during busy periods.
Can I send it straight to the recipient?
Yes. Enter their address as the delivery address at checkout. The candle arrives in its own presentation tube.
What does this label say?
Life begins at 40. Unfortunately everything hurts and you can't stay up past 9pm.
