Just like bringing a little one into the world but those hours are years of memories. Light one of our beautiful candles and take in all those precious moments with your new little bundle of joy.
2. New home feeling – Aussies love a good house warming celebration! You have just purchased your first house - that’s definitely something to celebrate!!

3. Lockdown blues – It seems almost everyone in Australia has experienced lockdown of some sort. Bourke is currently in lockdown which means copious hours of being stuck inside (eek). Nothing beats lighting your favourite candle to really lift the mood or use the lockdown as a time to relax. Run yourself a bath, take your favourite candle, some music and just zone out for a little while…… or at least until the kids find you!’
4. We will miss you dearly – When one of your closest friends moves away or a work colleague changes jobs, a candle is the perfect sentimental gift to say farewell before their next adventure.
