For the uncle who turned up, cheered loudest and never made a fuss about it: the hand-lettered label thanks him for being ‘the dad to me your brother couldn’t’, with a spiky-haired cartoon lad throwing a thumbs up. A warm, slightly cheeky pick for Father’s Day, his birthday, or Christmas from a niece or nephew who counts him as their real father figure.

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?
Uncle, thanks for being the dad to me your brother couldn't.
