For less than a fiver, H&Ms Winter's Eve candle is easily one of the best budget buys on the high street.

It's an absolute no-brainer.

A new candle just launched from Diptyque, this fragrance is a limited edition so if you want to get your hands on it, walk don't run huns.

You heard it here first.

You can't go wrong with The White Company, can you? This Winter Signature Candle will be their go-to during the festive season.

Buy this for your mum-in-law and she'll love you forever. This posh Jo Malone candle comes fabulously packaged with a little bow for some festive cheer.

A brilliant choice for your Secret Santa, this funky candle from Oliver Bonas has a nice, fresh twist to a Christmas candle. They're able to light this one all year round, but its notes of clove, burnt orange and winter spices make it ideal for this time of year.

At just £10, the Marks & Spencer Light Up Candle has the hearts of hundreds of customers, with this candle currently in high demand. The gel consistency is giving us major throwbacks, tbh, but it's been reimagined with added sparkles and LED lights for a cosy Christmassy glow. A reviewer added that since they bought one, they've now been buying them as gifts for friends every year.

Another Yankee pick? Who'd have thought. If you're after a gift set then look no further than the Yankee Candle Wonderland Collection. The best thing about it is that it combines classic scents, like Smoked Vanilla & Cashmere with more festive fragrances like Snowflake Kisses. Loads of reviewers couldn't resist buying these for themselves after getting them as a gift for a friend.

If you really want to spoil someone this Christmas, the Mirror Water Sun Through Trees candle might be the one for you. The birthchild of 'Chillpreneur' and YouTuber Estee Lalonde, the brand is all about sustainable wellbeing and giving yourself a little TLC, and that's echoed in its new soy candle launch. With notes of bergamot, amber and cedarwood, we found it instantly evoked the scent of a relaxing day at the spa, while the pine was perfect for a little echo of Christmas magic. We found it was a very strong-scented candle, so one you can use little and often to last well into the new year.
