The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 4 October 2024 10 Comments

Holiday candles from Glasshouse: Festival of Lights (blue; "Sweet milky Tonka Bean, Apple and spices evoke the bright and joyful blessing of light this season"), Night Before Christmas (red; "Blackcurrant, Plum, Lemon and Lavender hung in the eventide air. Inspired by plum puddings, sweet treats and festive fruits, conjuring dream-like visions and the magic of Christmas"), Winter Wonderland (green; "The nostalgic, sensory immediacy of the tree, glistening prettily with snowflakes and sparkling with the scent of freshly cut fir and spruce, it’s Christmas at its most star-bright") and White Christmas (white; "Vivid and illuminating, Cedar Leaf, Fruity Clove and Eucalyptus evoke wintery escapes, while Fir Balsam places you amongst snow-capped trees"). Each 380g for $55 at Neiman Marcus (where you'll also find other sizes, home and bath items, and a Glasshouse advent calendar).

The Holiday 2024 limited edition version of Annick Goutal's Une Forêt d'Or candle: "The magic of a forest in winter, Goutal’s ‘Une Forêt d'Or’ candle has a cool, frosty presence that sparkles with dustings of snow. In between the darkness of the pine trees, a glimmering wonderland of freshness opens an invitation to festivity. A deeply green imagining of the year’s colder months, notes of Pine Branches meet effervescent Orange Rind to create a scene filled with boundless life." 300g for £83 at Escentual in the UK.

A $90 candle the size of a trash can

Posted by Robin on 17 July 2024 Leave a Comment

“Costco, I love you … but who is buying a $90 candle the size of a trash can?!” the Reddit user titled their post. “Normally even if a product isn’t my vibe, I understand the market. This just seems silly! It was literally the size of a small bathroom trash can, even if I wanted to buy one I have no idea where I’d put it, and the wicks look way too small.”
