Amber & Spice

Amber & Spice: A Candle Gift Set with Fresh Flowers

A candle gift set should feel like more than wax in a box. Amber & Spice is three warm things at once: a posy of autumn-toned roses in a little glass vase, a Shearer Candles Orange Pomander candle to light, and the glow they make together. Bi-colour orange and red roses, soft peach blooms, red berries and a haze of golden solidago, tied with an orange ribbon, beside a candle that smells of orange and warm spice. We hand-pack every box ourselves in our Claremont studio, the way we have since 1999, and it is backed by a 5.0 Trustpilot rating and thousands of Loox reviews. Find more in our candles, our scented candles and the full gift hampers range.

What Is in the Box

Two lovely things, chosen to feel generous. The candle is a Shearer Candles Orange Pomander, a tantalising orange and spice scent in a frosted glass jar with a gold lid, the smell of clove-studded oranges and a warm kitchen. The posy is a gather of bi-colour orange and red roses with peach blooms, red hypericum berries and golden solidago, arriving in a little glass vase ready for a table or windowsill. If you would like more in the same warm palette, our sparkling orange bouquet, the coral sunset peony bouquet, the orange and sage aromatherapy candle and the Shearer amber and rose jar candle are all lovely. The roses arrive in water, and our guide to caring for flowers in a vase helps them last.

A Candle, Flowers and a Warm Glow

There is a particular comfort in warm light and a warm scent. A good candle changes a room the moment it is lit, orange and spice especially, which carries that cosy, just-baked feeling through the whole house. Add fresh flowers in the same autumn colours and the gift feels considered rather than quick. It is the sort of present that gets used and remembered, rather than tucked in a drawer. For more to set the mood, our home fragrances are worth a browse, and the warm tones make our orange flowers a natural match. Our gift baskets guide has more on building a thoughtful one.

When to Send Amber & Spice

This is a warm, easy gift for plenty of moments. It makes a generous thank-you, so our thank-you gift boxes are worth a look, and the cosy candle makes it a lovely housewarming present from our housewarming gift boxes range. The autumn roses suit a birthday too, especially for someone who loves warm colours, and you will find more of them in our orange roses. Not sure it is quite right? Our guide to choosing the perfect gift can help you decide.

Frequently Asked Questions

It holds two things: a fresh posy of autumn-toned roses in a glass vase, and a Shearer Candles Orange Pomander scented candle. The flowers vary a little with the season while the warm orange, red and gold theme stays the same.

What does the candle smell like?
