Candle warmer lamp gift guide: ideas for mum, her and Christmas
A lamp plus a candle is a complete present: pretty, practical and ready to use on the day. Here are ideas by person and by budget.
Why it makes a good gift
It feels special, it does a job every evening, and it is easy to get right. There is no size to guess. People who love candles but worry about leaving a flame going tend to be especially pleased.
Ideas by person
A gift for mum
Go for a classic glass or gold lamp and a soft scent such as lavender or vanilla. Add a spare bulb so the gift keeps working.
A gift for her
A statement shade, a floral or crystal design, and a candle in a scent she already likes. The floral lamps are a favourite.
Housewarming
A neutral lamp and a gift set of three small candles. Someone new to a home often has no candles yet.
Christmas stocking and Secret Santa
A small candle gift set or a replacement-bulb pack is a nice low-cost extra. See candle gift sets.
Someone who can't have a flame
Student halls, rented flats and homes with small children often ban open flames. A warmer lamp is the sensible alternative, as long as it stays on a stable surface. Note that the bulb gets hot.
