I'm not a huge fan of Ikea; I don't dislike the place as some people do, but it's just too far away and when I do make the effort to travel there I can never seem to find any of the showstopping bargains that everyone else finds. Hell, our 'local' store wasn't even running the cheapo breakfast deal last time we visited - something that irritated my other half no end as he was 'starving' by this point and needed greasy sustenance before battling the hordes inside the store. Well, a Kit Kat had to suffice and we set off looking for all the things we had on our list - candles weren't on my list (in fact I'm certain Mark attempted to steer me away from them) but after ...  Read the complete review

My nearest IKEA store is well over an hour's drive away, so when I do visit, I use the opportunity to stock up on all the things that I love. One of those things is their selection of candles and home accessories. They really do have so much choice when it comes to candles, in a vast array of colours and fragrances and I particularly love their selection of tealights. I have a fireplace at home that I like to dot these around and burn, warming the room and creating a nice ambience. I particulary like IKEA's selection of Tindra Tealights as they offer such great value for money - at £1.42 for a pack of 36 tealights. That's a bargain at just under 4p per ...  Read the complete review

What are the Tindra TeaLights? These are your average sized tealight which come in a range of colours and scents. They come in a multi pack and can be used in tealight holders, oil burners or on display. They burn for 3.5 hours each and then I pop the outer aluminium in the recycling. They are also handy for if you ever have a power cut or black out, as you can line them up in a safe place to light an area eg. along a walk way or table. Cost A pack of 36 candles cost £1.99. I think it is a bargain as each lasts 3.5 hours and they fill the room with a lovely scent. I use mine in my oil burner to give that extra bit of scent. I like the ...  Read the complete review

As Christmas comes it is no surprise that I usually get given an array of candles and tea lights as the majority of friends and family know how much I love receiving and using them around our home. This year was no exception and I ended up with such an assortment of different candles that I could have opened up my own candle shop, with one such gift being a pack of Ikea Tindra Tealights. I had seen these tealights around the Ikea store in the past however; having never bought them myself I was keen to see how they would perform. My Ikea Tindra Tea lights come simply packaged in what can only be descried as a thick layer of plastic which grouped the 36 ...  Read the complete review

I am a big fan of Ikea and I like to go a few times a year and when I am there I always like to buy a few of their Tindra candles. Not only do I buy the Tindra candles but more than anything I get a bag of the tealights which comes in a bag of 36 which is a very good amount for the price. These come in a few different scents and are great for candle holders or to put on stands, anywhere really as I love to light candles around the house. These are a worthwhile buy as they do last a long time and come in useful for anything. APPEARANCE These tealights come in a tray of 36 and they are just your standard looking tealights, a small circle of wax with a ...  Read the complete review
