For the friend who’s hit forty and would rather be roasted than fussed over: the label says ‘You are old’, under a hand-drawn owl in a red knitted scarf, all vintage greeting card charm. It’s a cheeky 40th birthday gift for a sister, brother, best mate or colleague who gives as good as they get. Pair it with a card and let the owl deliver the bad news.

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.
