Beautiful Candle

I wanted to send our friend something to show we were thinking of her in her recent bereavement.
But I didn't want to send flowers. I went on line and found Kindred Fires. I chose a candle and the words I wanted to show, our friend was absolutely delighted, the packaging was equally lovely. She says it smells divine, a real comfort. Can't rate this product highly enough

Beautiful candles

I've bought these for two friends that have both suffered family bereavements and they both really apprecaited and adored these candles. One friend likes to light hers when she wants to take a moment to think, reflect and grieve. The other friend likes to keep hers with the funeral programme and light it on the anniversaries and birthdays of her lost loved. Both have different scents (pink jasmine and tranquility) and both love them! Candles last longer than flowers and can be much more personal and also calming, so I think they are a nice gesture to a grieving friend. Also beautifully packaged and fast delivery! 100000/10 recommend Kindred Fires!

A little bit disappointed

I purchased this as a gift. Unfortunately the box thst it came in was the only box and had the postal label on it. I thought it would come in a box to give as a gift.

The candle was sweet but like I said. The packaging let it down
