How to choose a Christmas candle holder
A candle holder changes the atmosphere of the Christmas table. It's worth looking at three things: the type of candle, the style and the height.
Type of candle
Each product page lists height and diameter: check the diameter of the candle you want to use before choosing. Glass tealight holders with a Christmas motif take short candles (tealights), ideal for arranging in rows and for centrepieces.
Style
- Pine and pinecone: models in clear, white and green or amber glass, such as the Pine candle holder H 24 cm or the Pinecone goblet H 26 cm.
- Metal: the Handley series in silver and the pinecone-shaped Harriet candle holder in brown, more understated.
- Santa, toy soldier and elf: more playful designs, often in a gift box, such as the Santa Deco candle holder H 12 cm.
Height
From tealight holders just a few centimetres tall to models up to around 46 cm high: the shorter ones suit centrepieces, the taller ones add height to shelves and mantelpieces.
