For the mate who insists forty isn't old, then groans getting off the sofa: a cartoon graveyard, a mossy headstone and a skeleton hand clawing its way out of the grass. The label declares 'Here lies your thirties', which is the sort of sympathy your best friend, big brother or long-suffering colleague deserves on the big day. One for milestone birthday drinks, office desk ambushes and anyone whose sense of humour outlived their twenties.

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.

Happy 40th birthday you fucking fossil! Here lies your thirties.
