Wax Lyrical also has some gorgeous outdoorsy products beautiful things for the home.  I have reviewed Wax Lyrical before and totally adore their products.  The quality is splendid, and the scent of the candles is something else – divine indeed!

At the moment, I am absolutely loving this Large Square Silver Candle – it looks great and smells delicious!

Wax Lyrical’s large silver candle is perfect for entertaining in the garden on sunny evenings!  Wax Lyrical say:-  “As the sun goes down the night scented stock flowers exude an exotic warm floral bouquet with soft green notes resting gently on an amber and sandalwood base.”

This large square silver candle is modern and contemporary in design, making it a perfect addition to your home or conservatory.  The warm floral scent helps create the perfect ambience for those long summer outdoor parties. Scatter these candles all over the patio or decking and let the party begin.  You are sure to get plenty of compliments!

With a burn time of 70 hours, and a price of £30, I think this would make a great gift for anyone.  Check out http://www.wax-lyrical.co.uk for other lovely products.

Ok, it’s a dishwasher cleaner and it’s on a gift site!  A little crazy I know, but hear me out on this one.  For those who love a clean home for their family, this could be a simple, cheap and worthwhile little gift that should be appreciated!  Dishwasher Magic is the only dishwasher cleaner available in the UK that also disinfects - as a result, killing 99.9% of harmful bacteria including E-Coli and Salmonella.  Rust, calcium and limescale are also efficiently eliminated for improved water circulation and maximum cleaning efficiency.  This is something that I would quite happily buy my Mum or Sister, and I know they would be pleased with it – no more build up of food, stains, residue, and foul-smelling odour would be great!

Using Dishwasher Magic is the only way to be sure that not only is your machine sparklingly clean and fresh smelling, but also hygienically clean and free of those nasty bacteria that can cause illness. This peace-of-mind is invaluable, especially if you have a family of little ones.

Dishwasher Magic is simple to use. Simply unscrew the lid, pop into the cutlery basket and run the empty machine on a standard cycle. Independent laboratory tests show that Dishwasher Magic removes 37.8% more calcium than the leading UK brand, as well as more efficiently removing rust and soap-scum build up making it the clear test winner in this category.

Dishwasher Magic retails for around £3.99.  For more information and stockist details go to http://www.dishwashermagic.co.uk.
