Hibernate (Gaeafgysgu)

As the nights draw in and the days turn colder, the idea of hibernating seems to speak to a lot of us. I based this blend on Glühwein, which has more depth and less sweetness than our British mulled wine.
As my daughter put it, Hibernate is "the gorgeousness of autumn and winter, snuggling up, getting cosy, being inside with a touch of warmth and sweetness". For me, it also brings back the Christmas markets of Austria and Germany, full of gifts, food and drinks, and warming scents everywhere.
The oils
- Red mandarin: sweet, juicy citrus
- Star anise: warm and liquorice-sweet
- Clove bud: rich and spicy
- Ginger: warm with a little heat
- Cinnamon: sweet spice

Our ethical promise
Our ethical promise
I make every candle myself, here in north Pembrokeshire. Each one is my own sustainable plant wax blend of soy, sunflower and olive nut oil waxes, scented with my own blends of pure essential oils. That's all. No synthetic or 'nature-identical' fragrance, no petroleum or paraffin, no palm oil and no colouring. Coincidentally, they're vegan too.
I pour them into tins rather than glass because tinplate can be recycled forever, which isn't true of many candle jars. My tins are made specially for me in London, using solar power, by one of the very last tin makers in the UK.
Burning & candle care
Burning & candle care
1. On the first burn, let the wax melt right to the edge of the tin. This stops the candle tunnelling.
2. Trim the wick to about a quarter of an inch (5mm) every time you light it. My candle wick trimmers make this easy.
3. Burn for no more than two to four hours at a time.
4. Keep it out of draughts so it burns evenly.
5. Once it's cool, wash the tin and pop it in your recycling, or keep it for buttons, seeds or pens.
Never leave a burning candle unattended.
Keep it away from children, pets, curtains and anything that can catch fire.
Stand it on a heat-resistant surface. The tin gets hot, so don't move it while it's lit or the wax is liquid.
Burn it in a well-ventilated room and make sure animals can leave the room.
