They come in packs of two with the most delicious of colour combinations. They’re made from paraffin wax, the really nice part being they are pretty much smoke and drip free. Plus, they’re set to burn for around 14 hours. Winner.

Sometimes there really is nothing better than getting home after a day of work, putting the heater on, getting under the doona nice and early and lighting a candle or two. Why can’t they be super fun candles? Even better. Or else, if you’re short on party decorations for your next get together, the striped taper candles could very well do the trick.
