I love candles, I do. But I’m seriously impressed by wax melts. A Melt In Time is a family-run UK company and their mission statement says it all: to create luxury wax melts that stimulate the senses while being gentle on the planet.
All the melts are made with best quality natural wax. This is important as candles made from poor quality ingredients or chemicals can be harmful, sometimes irritating the eyes and lungs.
These lovely natural melts are so easy and convenient too. They come as a block of six small cubes and you simply put one cube on your burner, light a tea light underneath, sit back and enjoy the beautiful aroma. The pack of six have a total burning time of 30-40 hours so they last for ages, and any residue can just be popped in the bin once cool.
As soon as I opened the package, I could smell the Sandalwood and Myrrh. Even within the wrapping the scent was stunning, and when I melted a cube on the pretty burner, the room filled with the powerful fragrance within minutes. I felt strangely compelled to stop everything, relax on the sofa, sip green tea and read a magazine. The Lavender melt smells equally amazing and I can’t wait to test it with a relaxing bath tonight. (Note to self – keep away from melts when I need to work – they are surprisingly addictive and ‘melt’ away my stress maybe a little too much.)
I love that A Melt In Time have such a huge range of traditional and unusual scents – from Vanilla Cinnamon and Rhubarb and Rose to Fresh Bread (good for house-selling I hear) plus some rather quirkly scents such as Unicorn Sparkle and Alien Invasion.
But don’t take my word for it, check out their website for yourself. The melts are just £3.99 for a block.
There’s also a range of very attractive and unusual Tea Light Wax Burners available. You can buy these individually, or as a set with two blocks of wax melts, currently on special offer at just £12.99 which make a fabulous present.
But if you want a real bargain, for everyday use, watch out for their ‘Waxidents’ (not quite perfect melts) at just £2.50 a pack of six.
So if you’re looking for a lovely Christmas present for friends or just out to treat yourself, take a look at A Melt In Time – you’ll wish you’d discovered them sooner.
