Whether you want to treat yourself or a loved one, here is your chance to WIN a selection of Max Benjamin Christmas gift sets worth €220.

There’s something about the first hint of winter that stirs a familiar kind of anticipation.

The scent of woodsmoke in the air, the twinkle of early lights in shop windows, the fizzy excitement of finding the perfect gifts for loved ones. Christmas is, after all, about connection. It’s about small, meaningful gestures that say ‘I thought of you.’

For many of us, scent plays a part in those memories. The fragrance of pine and spice, the comfort of clove and cinnamon, the gentle glow of a candle lit on a frosty evening – these are the quiet details that make the season feel complete.

At Max Benjamin, the brand understands that scent can tell a story, and there is no better time to share this tale than during the most magical time of the year.

Nestled in the heart of the Wicklow mountains, Max Benjamin is a family-owned candle-making studio surrounded by rambling scented hedgerows and breathtaking Irish scenery. It’s in this tranquil setting that every candle, diffuser and hand cream is carefully crafted. Inspired by the natural beauty that surrounds them, the creations are designed to bring calm and joy into everyday life.

Every product is handmade with natural waxes, 100% cotton wicks, and premium essential oils. Sustainability guides the process, from the ingredients to the packaging, and each piece is as kind to the environment as it is beautiful to give.

This Christmas, the brand has a new selection of Christmas gift sets, which combine classic, much-loved fragrances with two enchanting new scents: Christmas in Lapland and Winter Chalet. Each evokes a distinct moment of seasonal magic: Lapland’s crisp, snowy serenity and a winter chalet’s comforting fireside warmth.
