It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…. It really is, and it’s time to decorate before the visitors arrive en masse. This year, I’ve decided to declutter and go for simple, elegant decorations, that will have me breezing through Christmas with ease. Oh, and did I mention I’d like an Australian themed Christmas this year.

Front and centre of my table this year will be the gorgeous Australian-Made Glasshouse Fragrances Christmas Cheer Soy Candle. With notes of Passionfruit, Vanilla and Australian native Lemon Myrtle, I almost don’t know whether to display it or eat it – it’s like dessert is already served! Housed in a Christmas themed, gold decorated glass jar (decorated in collaboration with Australian artist Jacob Leary), the candle adds a touch of zesty sweetness to Christmas Celebrations, whether you live in the country, on the coast, or somewhere in between. With lead-free cotton wicks, and a high quality soy blend wax, the Christmas Cheer candle is designed to provide many hours of sweet scented Australian-based aromas. Insider tip, if it’s too hot to burn the candle, or if you have a total fire ban, or you’d just like the candle to last longer, place the unlit candle near an open window, and let the breeze gently waft the scent through the house. Christmas Cheer Candle 380g RRP $49.95. If you’re after a more traditional scent, Glasshouse Fragrances also have the Night Before Christmas candles (in various sizes, plus a diffuser), inspired by plum pudding, with scents of black currant, plum, lemon and lavender, and White Christmas candle 380g, evoking visions of snow-covered rooftops and crystalized snowmen, with its notes of cedar leaf, fruity clove, eucalyptus and pine. As always with candles, never leave a lit candle unattended, and keep away from children.

Wishing you all a safe and happy Christmas.
