As the autumn nights draw in, I love nothing more than lighting a few candles when I get home from work and curling up under a duvet – even if it is just to do more work online! There’s something so homely about candles and I have them in every room in our house, even the kitchen and bathroom!
Partylite have sent me a little preview of this year’s Halloween collection, inspired by Mexico’s Day of The Dead, to ask for my opinion and give my readers the chance to win their own selection in time for Halloween.
12 tea lights in Hocus Pocus
These tea lights are brightly coloured, with a bright yellow colour and a bright purple colour. Hocus Pocus doesn’t smell how it looks – there are hints of coconut and citrus but it isn’t overly sweet. These tea lights burn for 4-5 hours.
6 votive candles in Autumn Glow
Hands down these are my absolute favourite. The smell definitely reminds me of Autumn time, especially if you have ever been in America around Thanksgiving! They smell like every store you go into around that time. Scented with sweet appears, pears, cinnamon, spice and pine, these are great for Autumnal nights. They burn for 8 – 11 hours.
Glolite scented jar candle in Hocus Pocus
A large jar with the lovely Hocus Pocus scent. The jar is decorated with purple skeletons and has two wicks. It burns for between 50 – 60 hours.
Colour changing candle base
This base is so much fun! The Glolite jar candle fits perfectly on the base as it changes colour, adding more fun to your candle. Requires 3 AAA batteries.
Skeleton glass candle jars
Gorgeous and strong jars to hold your votives or tea lights in, these are a great Halloween decoration.

The best in Halloween is that we celebrate life and death without sorrow and tears, but with laughter and fun – like it should be… Plus, we can have a good time with our friends / kids / whoever close is to our heart, just the way it should be
