With long Autumn nights drawing in and people staying home more, we are living for cosy nights in! The perfect cosy night in means something different to everyone; with a companion or alone, a good book or a boxset binge, cooking your signature supper or ordering your favourite takeaway. Here are our essentials for the ultimate cosy night in, no matter how you like to enjoy them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Light a candle <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We love candles all year round but lighting the perfect seasonal candle is an easy way to add warmth to a room. There is just something so comforting about the flicker of candlelight and warming fragrances filling your home!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you love sweet, spicy, fruity or floral fragrances,\u00a0we have a huge home fragrance range\u00a0to choose from. Our wood wick candles<\/a> are available in a selection of seasonal scents to\u00a0add warmth to your home. Spiced Apple, Welsh Cake, Mixed Berries & Roast Chestnut are among our favourites at this time of year. They\u2019re also available\u00a0as handmade wax melts<\/a> and tealights<\/a>,\u00a0for those who like to swap fragrances regularly.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The combination of soy wax and a wood wick produce a full melt pool and impressive scent throw to fill your home. Don\u2019t forget to let the wax melt across the candle before extinguishing, to avoid tunneling and wax waste. Plus trim the wick before relighting to allow it to burn properly and avoid any smoke and tall flames. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other seasonal favourites are available in our Tapestry Tin candle<\/a> range too; including Black Orchid, Amaretto, Cuban & Cognac and Cranberry Gin. So you really will feel spoilt for choice!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We even have a brand-new collection of wood wick candles coming soon, with even more cosy scents to choose from, including Spiced Orange, Autumn Amber, Winter Berries and Spiced Plum.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Relax <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Having a cosy night in is all about getting to relax and treating yourself. Why not treat yourself to some luxury, handmade skincare products to help you unwind?  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Farmer\u2019s Face Cream<\/a>\u00a0and Soothe Body Oil<\/a>\u00a0both include\u00a0natural plant extracts to nourish your skin. Plus, their soothing lavender scents will help your mind relax and unwind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another pamper night essential is bath treats.\u00a0As well as our mini bath bombs<\/a>, we also love Bathing Beauty\u2019s incredible Jones the Bones bath salts<\/a>.\u00a0Created by Osteopaths to ease aches and pains, these vegan bath salts will leave your whole body feeling relaxed. And they smell incredible! Bathing Beauty even recommend wrapping up in warm clothing and resting after a\u00a015-minute\u00a0soak. So it would be rude not to, right?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get comfy <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Did anyone else used to love building pillow and blanket forts when they were younger? There is no better way to enjoy a cosy night in than cwtched up with as many blankets and cushions as possible. They are an easy way to mix up your home decor and add Autumnal touches with minimal effort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
