I have read numerous reviews about Yankee candles; nearly all positive! So when I was in my local gift shop a few days ago and spotted Yankee candles on sale I knew I had to try a few! There were several sampler candles selling for just 86p (mainly those with a Christmas theme) but there was also a couple of glass candle holders also on sale for just £2.50. At this price I decided to treat myself and left happy with my new purchase.

The candle holder jar is made up of coloured glass squares. The colours are festive and look especially good during the winter months due to the warm red, yellow and green colours of the glass. The jar is about 3 inches tall and the sampler candles I bought fit inside the jar perfectly with about an inch to spare at the top.

I bought two candle holders and think they look gorgeous when both contain candles. The glow of the candle can be seen through the coloured glass making any room look cosy and warm. I like to burn candles whilst we eat and these look really impressive on my dining room fireplace shelf. I have also placed a jar in the bathroom with my favourite baby powder candle. The effect is very pretty and not only do I get a lovely fragrance, but a mesmerising glow to watch! All very relaxing!

One the candle has burnt down to the bottom; it will need to be removed from the holder. I use a blunt knife to gently scrape away any remaining wax. I did read that if you place the candle holder into the freezer the wax will be easier to remove, a very useful tip!

Overall this is a very pretty candle holder that looks lovely when it has a candle burning inside and really enhances my room!
