Garden candles for an ambient glow outdoors

Perfect for the garden in summer, our citronella candle is made with natural citronella essential oil. Made from 100 per cent Soy wax candle with a wooden wick for an eco-friendly, clean-burning candle. All-natural, vegan and cruelty-free and wrapped in plastic-free, recyclable packaging.

Review: “Candle smells absolutely gorgeous. Love the amber jar and the label. This is a gift for a friend, so I am unable to comment on burn ability. Quick delivery & packed well. Will definitely order some more soon!"

Purchase a candle that looks as good as it smells. From its abstract willow pattern influence to its pure soy wax, this pack of two will be an incredible garden feature. If you're hosting a garden party or BBQ, its fragrance will keep away pesky mosquitoes, flies and bugs. Trust me - it works, and you won't be disappointed.

Customer review: "Wow! Just WOW! After struggling in the heatwave we've been having recently, we were most distressed to see an influx of flies in our house. At a time when you have to have your windows open during the day to cool down, it seemed that there was no way we would be able to get rid of the flies... but then..... we found these fantastic straight-from-heaven citronella soy candles!!! Now as an avid candle lover, I just want to mention how gorgeous these candles are. They come in a beautiful box and tin and make a great feature in any room. However, more importantly, they WORK!"

Bring a touch of elegance into your outdoor space with this classic trio of large lanterns fitted with a trio of realistic glow candles. These candles are perfect for making a statement and creating a warm and inviting ambience in your garden. Why not opt for the 6-hour timer for automatic illumination each evening?

Customer review: “I ordered a number of different lights for my garden early in the lockdown period and I have been very pleased with them. My garden looks lovely every evening with the lights coming on with the timer and lifting my spirits, as I am in lockdown by myself, they really cheer me up. I would definitely recommend this company's products.”

Create the perfect summer atmosphere with this La Jolíe Muse citronella candle. We love its floral print design and the fact that it is biodegradable and eco-friendly. Plus, it has approximately 70 hours of burning time, which means that you can enjoy it again and again.

Review: "I love citronella essential oil in general, and the candle did not disappoint. I haven't seen a mosquito since I started using it. Love the presentation, and I think it will make a nice gift."

These Citronella Tea Lights emit a gentle flickering flame and a pleasant odour that will keep unwanted flying insects, on top of setting a relaxed mood. They are suitable for individual use but are even better when burnt inside a candle lantern to shield them from draughts.

Review: “Bought these during the hot summer weather and have used them every day so far. We love sitting in the garden under the gazebo and these lovely candles have kept wasps, flies, mosquitoes, and everything else away! Brilliant purchase and will be buying again.”

You’ve got the tealights, now you need a gorgeous way to display them, and we think these glass globes are perfect. We can picture it already, flickering flames dangling off a tree on a warm summer's evening, we love it!

Review: “These items arrived very well packaged and sooner than expected. They look amazing and put me in mind of my dad who was a glassblower. So happy with this purchase!”

Not technically a candle, but very close! With ultra-realistic flickering flames within, they're perfect for lining gardens and illuminating summer BBQs! Stake them in a sunny spot of the garden for up to 10 hours of illumination each evening in the spring & summer months.

Review: “These Tiki lights are amazing! The flame looks so real, and I really like the wood effect. They look so smart on either side of my path, I think I may have to buy some more!”

If you’ve already got some spare lanterns laying around, these LED candles are perfect, and even if you don’t these look great as the centrepiece for a table. Fully weatherproof, you can use these outdoors all year round.

Review: “I am really pleased with these lights, I purchased them over a month ago and they have come on every day. They give a great warm flickering light. Once you turn them on the first night they then come on at the same time every day and turn off after 6 hours. So, mine are coming on at 17:30 and turning off at 23:30.
“I was worried that I would have to replace the batteries regularly but so far still going strong. Great that they can stay outside in whatever weather, the top has two little holes to stop them from filling with water. So pleased, I am thinking of buying them as a gift for someone else. Would definitely recommend them as I love mine.”

These underrated and classic, antique-looking candle holders are everything we could ask for in an outdoor decorative candle. The hanging lanterns are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. So, they're super versatile and great for all occasions – whether it's for a dinner party or a night spent by the fire pit outdoors.

Review: "Good price for two of these decent sized, lightweight metal lanterns with additional battery operated (removable) candle lights… I will probably buy them again and put fairy lights in them. They are very lightweight but definitely a good buy, happy customer!”
