Where scented candles are concerned, Yankee Candle have a vast array of products that can fill your home with glorious scents.
From sweet scents based on favourite baked goods, to fruity aromas, seasonal options and candles with just a hint of scent, there’s a candle for almost every taste.
The candles have a great burning time and the candle jars, in their various sizes, provide a safe way of burning a candle and keeping the wax contained. They’re perfect to burn to rid your home of cooking smells, or evoke memories through adding favourite scents into a room.
Yankee Candle are currently celebrating getting one million fans on Facebook and have launched a special limited edition version of their best-selling Vanilla Cupcake candle. They’re also hosting a March to a Million Golden Ticket Contest, giving a rare chance to win a three day trip to the company’s flagship store in Massachusetts.
The Thanks a Million Vanilla Cupcake candle is brimming with the aroma of freshly baked vanilla cupcakes. It’s available as a large jar candle and can be purchased online exclusively from Yankee Candle.

We love the eclectic range of home accessories and decor available at Anthropologie, but aren’t always quite so fond of their prices.
The good news is they currently have some items reduced in their sale, so here are some juicy picks for today’s Fab Friday Bargains offering.
We love the colourful swirl pattern on the Aurora glass tumbler. This special piece is handcrafted in Murano, Italy using the Millefiori technique. It’s now £24.95 (was £48).
You can be forgiven to think this is a lot to pay for wallpaper, even with the reduction – now £149.95 (was £299). But this is no ordinary wallpaper – it’s magic wallpaper!
The Hide and Seek wallpaper is by design duo, Custhom, and it’s screen printed using thermo-sensitive inks, so as the temperature in a room rises, hidden images are revealed.
So what starts off simply looking like a classic black and white design, actually turns out to be this:
Clever, huh?
This amazing film reel end table is made from a vintage 35mm film roll, reclaimed automotive gears and finished with a toughened glass top. It’s still not cheap despite a big reduction in price, but it is a rather unique design.
This striking lamp shade provides a brilliant pop of colour. The design is created using silky cotton cords which are layered and then cinched to provide contrasting colour hues. It’s now £69.95 (was £128).

If you’re a fan of Conran’s designer home accessories, then head over to M&S now, as there’s a selection of them reduced by 50% and more in their January sale.
We love the glass apothecary bottles and the vegetable vases, with their ribbed and textured finishes. One on its own, or three grouped together, look great and it’s more affordable to buy several when they’re half price.
The ceramic wall clock, with its smooth and simple lines, effortlessly tells the time and is a great design for a contemporary home.
1. Conran medium apothecary bottle – now £9
2. Conran ceramic wall clock – now £25
3. Conran blue vegetable vase – now £12
4. Conran vegetable vase – now £15
5. Conran metalized glass candle holder – now £15
6. Conran large apothecary bottle – now £9
7. Conran bulb vegetable vase – now £15
8. Conran ribbed tea light holder – now £4
Other Conran designs, including kitchenware, are in the sale too.

The White Company very kindly sent us a box of goodies to review, all of which would make lovely Christmas gift ideas.
The star decoration is lovely addition for a Christmas tree. It’s made from tiny silver glass beads, which sparkle under the lights of a Christmas tree, and it’s hung from a well made beaded chain. At only £4, it’s a great value decoration and a good stocking filler gift.
We love candles and the luxury Orange Grove signature candle, which features the zingy scents of mandarin, bergamot and orange flower is refreshing and uplifting. The candle is hand poured in the UK and burns for approximately 28 hours, so you can get lots of use out of it. The candle comes nicely boxed and wrapped in cellophane and is priced at £20.
As well as stylish products for the home, The White Company also produce a range of luxury bath and body products. The white lavender hand and nail cream has the soothing scent of lavender, neroli and lemon and is perfect for easing tired hands and nails.
It would be a nice product to have out on display in a bathroom or cloakroom. Usually priced at £12, it’s currently on offer for £9.60.
For children (big or small!), who can resist the Little Snowy Penguin? Cute, soft and fluffy, this is a great gift for a child and would like right at home snuggled up on a bed. The penguin is £14.
There are plenty more great gift ideas at The White Company and there’s currently a special offer for free delivery on orders over £30, which is definitely a help at this time of year.

 Knit trend wall clock Forget knitted jumpers, why not kit your home out with some knit inspired homeware?
All things knitted are on trend this season, from cosy knitted poufs to knit effect vases, and you can even invest in a knitted effect clock.
The wall clock looks like it’s been fully knitted from wool, but actually it’s made of ceramic which has been given a clever knitted pattern design.
It looks really different and as if it could be a designer piece, but in fact this one is very affordable. The knitted effect clock was originally priced at just £22 from Very, but you can currently get your hands on it for just £19.
