We've all missed the pumpkin spiced lattes, crunchy leaves and chunky knits. Believe it or not, some of us actually thrive as the temperature gets colder and autumn begins to set in.

But, if you're feeling a bit fed up with the changing weather, a candle might just help to cheer you up. If you're looking to warm up your home for autumn, we've found the best candles that we guarantee will make your home feel cosy.

Whether you opt for a pumpkin candle to get you in the mood for Halloween, or a spicy cinnamon candle that will take centre stage on your fireplace, we've got you covered.

The great thing is, most of these scents will even see you through into winter. They're also a fab choice of Christmas gift, because who doesn't like candles?

But, if the thought of starting your Christmas shopping early is not something you want to think about until at least early November, then an autumn candle could be a nice little treat for yourself instead.

Oh, go on then.
