These Irish candles and diffusers are the perfect way to instantly make your home feel festive

There are many things that we associate with Christmas. From lights twinkling in windows, to streets busy with shoppers, or even just digging out your favourite festive jumper or party shoes. 

However, few things can put us in the festive mood as quickly as scent. Known as being our sense that can most quickly conjure memories, a simple whiff of cinnamon or orange can instantly transport us to fond remembrances of Christmases past. 

That’s why imbuing your home with seasonal scents is the perfect way to make it feel cosy and welcoming. Festive candles and diffusers also make ideal gifts at this time of year – who doesn’t love to receive something that they’ll enjoy every day for weeks to come? 

We love Greystones-based brand Brooke & Shoals. Their award-winning products are made in Ireland, using plant-based vegan candle wax, while their diffusers are made using an eco-friendly base from a sustainable source.

They have two gorgeous festive fragrances – Cinnamon & Cedar and Cedarwood, Nutmeg & Orange. Both are available in several candle sizes or as diffusers, or you can opt for a Christmas Cracker gift set, which contains two travel-sized candles, or a pack of three travel-sized candles, each with a different scent. 

Or if you want to give a gift that will last even longer, Brooke & Shoals’ gift bundles contain a selection of candles and diffusers from their year-round range of fragrances such as Sweet Pea & Tea Rose, White Lily & Ylang Ylang, Grapefruit & Lemongrass, Elderflower, Rhubarb & Rose, and Jasmine, Patchouli & Cashmere.

So whether you’re looking for a stocking filler or a larger gift, and no matter whether they love sweet, floral fragrances, something fresh, or festive favourites, Brooke & Shoals have lots to choose from. 

The high quality, award-winning and Irish-made features of Brooke & Shoals fragrance products make them perfect for Christmas gifting. And if that’s not enough to tempt you, then perhaps the limited edition special offer bundles on their website will.
