 Etched tea light holder
This lovely glass tea light holder, by Sagaform, is etched with a pretty stem pattern - not unlike Orla Kiely’s classic stem designs.
The holder is 15cm tall, so can comfortably hold a tall candle or a small tea light and it glows beautifully when lit.
Buy the Sagaform candle holder from Illustrated Living, for £12.95.
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.

 Metal lanterns
Lanterns look lovely used as a home accessory, especially when lit during the winter on dark nights. But they have another great purpose too and really come into their own when used out in the garden in the summer months.
If you’ve having a barbecue, are dining outside or simply sitting outside in your garden with a glass wine enjoying the cooler evening air, having a lantern out with you provides a lovely source of flickering candlelight.
These metal lanterns from The White Company would do just the job and are available in three sizes (although it looks like the small may have currently sold out). The medium lantern is a good standard size, measuring 72cm by 26cm, but if you’d prefer a larger lantern, then the large is 101cm by 21cm. Both take one pillar candle .
There’s always a small risk with using candles, but having them lit in lanterns provides an extra bit of security, as the candle is enclosed within the lantern and can’t accidentally get knocked over.
