Lombok have a range of what they, rather fancifully, call Windlights (they’re more like lanterns to us) and they’re currently running a special ‘Buy one, get one half price’ offer on them.
There are some nice pieces available in the offer, so if you were thinking of buying a lantern, now is a good time – the second one would be ideal for giving away as a present.
We rather like the small glass and ceramic windlight (£26), which is good for using inside, and the nicely shaped oriental hanging windlight (£45), which would be great for hanging on a hook or branch for use outside in the garden. Both pieces can be found on the Lombok website, along with plenty more inspiring product ideas.

 Tea light holders Tea light holders are the perfect size and shape to hold a small tealight candle and are lovely to use for occasions when you want to be surrounded by the glimmer of candlelight, like dinner parties, when you’re entertaining inside or outdoors, when you’re relaxing on a night in or enjoying a candlelit bath.
These scalloped edge tea light holders come as a set of six, so you can have multiple tea lights lit at once and dotted around, or you can use one or two on their own. The set includes holders in red, pale pink, turquiose, silver, gold and pale green and they’re available to buy from Graham and Green.

Don’t forget, you can still take advantage of our special 10% discount with Illustrated Living for all purchases made until 31st December 2009.

 Aromatic apple scent
Nothing beats the smell of an apple pie, or apple crumble, baking in the oven.
But if you’ve not got time to bake a pie, you can recreate the scent in your home with these gorgeous spiced apple candle pots.
Available in two sizes – tall or short and wide – the hand poured candles are in lovely ceramic pots, handmade by Timea Sido. They come in a ribbon wrapped box, so would make the perfect gift too.
You’ll find the spiced apple candle pots available for sale from Berry Red.

 Light a candle and see the London skyline! See the London skyline from the comfort of your own home, with the help of this rather novel tea light holder from Pedlars.
When a tealight is lit and put into the centre of this holder, the famous sights of the London skyline appear as an outline on the shade.
It’s cleverly done and a pleasant change from a plain old tea light holder.
The London cityscape tea light holder costs £18.50 from Pedlars.
