To say we’re candle enthusiasts would be quite the understatement. We love nothing more than running low on our candle supply because this, you see, justifies yet another trip into town to stock up. Candle-specific shopping trips are one of our favourite kinds. If you’re a true GAFFer you’ll know this joy all too well, or the frustration when someone questions the amount of candles you have versus the amount of candles you NEED. This is not about necessity, people, unless of course there’s a black-out.
And so, we’re very excited (but also a little bit jealous) to be able to give one lucky reader the chance to win this amazing prize from new Irish candle company, Candella.
Should you reign supreme, you’ll be the proud new owner of one hamper basket consisting of two Candella wine bottle candles, one Candella copper candle (individually priced at an RRP of €78, Kildare Village price €65) and a selection of wax melts – all from Só Collective at Kildare Village.
Candella was established in 2014 by Gosia Sobkowicz and her husband Marcin in Co. Kildare. Their handcrafted candles are made using the highest quality pure soya wax, where soy beans are pressed to extract their natural oils. Gosia has always been passionate about fragrances and completed the perfumery course at the London College of Fashion. Gosia believes that fragrances enhance people’s lives and their wellbeing.
Candella’s beautiful range can be found at Só Collective in Kildare Village on Wednesday, 26 October, a ‘Scent Workshop’, with founder of Candella, Gosia, will take guests through the art of scent for wellbeing within the home. These workshops will take place between 2pm – 4pm. We are so there.
To win? You need to share the love on social. Share this post on your Facebook or Instagram, be sure to follow us if you don’t already, and please use the hashtag #GAFFCandella.
Good luck!
Congrats on your success. It is lovely to see such beautiful candles being made locally.
