Gingerbread House smells exactly like the good part of Christmas baking, without any of the washing up. Warm caramel, orange and almond open it, ginger, cinnamon, clove and a flicker of black pepper give it real spice, and it settles into bourbon vanilla, tonka bean and amber. Sweet, nostalgic and layered, it is gingerbread dough with caramel drizzled over the top.
The 2026 vessel is a small world in itself. Part of Glasshouse's A Very Merry World collection illustrated by Jeffrey Phillips, this one imagines a sugar dusted forest and a candy coated cottage, where elves, fairies, toy soldiers and talking reindeer gather beneath gumdrop chandeliers. Children will spot something new in it every time, and it is beautiful enough to keep long after the wax is gone.
At 4.5 out of 5 it is a rich, full bodied fragrance that comfortably fills medium and large rooms, so it works beautifully in a kitchen or living area where everyone ends up anyway. No wrapping required, which makes it one of the easiest gifts on the list.

Details:
380g soy blend candle with a lid and two natural lead free cotton wicks, for an even burn and up to 60 hours of pure, intensely fragrant scent. No Parabens. No Silicones. No PEGs.
Instructions:
Trim wicks to 7mm before each use using scissors or a wick trimmer. Wicks that are too short may stop the wax burning to the edge (tunnelling), while wicks left too long can mushroom and cause black soot to form on the glass. Place your candle in a draught free spot, away from small children, pets and flammable material. Burn for no less than one hour and no more than four hours at a time.
