With all this nonsense about the changing of star signs and something called Ophiuchus - also known as the Serpent Bearer, the supposed 13th Sign of the Zodiac, it has all gone over my head. I am, always have been a Cancerian and I definitely have some of those traits. Tomorrow is actually my birthday and from Kindred Fires, I have been gifted this stunning Starsign Birthday Candle.
These candles are all handcrafted from a Manchester Workshop and each candle is not only hand poured but each one is made using quality soy wax and premium fragrance oils in containers that you are encouraged to reuse. I will re-use mine to put some flower seeds once I am finished.
When purchasing a candle from Kindred Fires you have a choice of what kind of candle you wish you purchase from a variety of categories. Those categories include but are not limited to - Engagement, Wedding, Anniversary, House Warming and of course birthdays. My candle as you can see denotes the Cancerian star sign which is clearly displayed on the label.
Once you have made your choice of a candle, there is the option to personalise the label with a brief message and then the exciting part is to choose your fragrance. I went for Floral Blossom, the description of this fragrance is that it is a light floral scent with subtle hints of freesia, lemon and jasmin. For me, this candle has a really fresh floral fragrance with a hint of citrus which comes from the lemon, it isn't overpowering and it adds a nice scent to the room. The candle has a burn time of around 25 hours, which of course can change depending on how long you burn it for.
I think these candles make a fabulous gift, be it for a family member, friend or even someone you work with. We have all just been through quite the time with this pandemic, which is still hiding out there, so a perfect time to send someone a gift, especially if you haven't seen them for some time now, to say 'I'm thinking of you'It can be combined with a bunch of flowers. Thanks to modern delivery services, there is no problem to send a gift to Paris or anywhere in the world. The Kindred Fire Candles are priced from £16 rising upwards in price depending on your candle of choice and whether or not you choose to upgrade it to a hamper, which sounds just lovely.
