The large scented candle has a burn time of 50 hours is a lovely Mother’s Day gift
Mother’s Day is on Sunday, March 31, and shoppers on the hunt for classic and thoughtful gifts can’t go wrong with a candle. The majority of people like candles, as they are relaxing to burn in the evenings after a busy day and fil your space with a cosy scent.
If you pick a large candle with an extended burn time, it’ll last longer, so your mum will be able to get more enjoyment out of it. One of the most popular candles available at Dunelm is Woodwick’s Linen Ellipse Crackle Candle.
The ‘crackle’ wick makes a noise like a burning log fire when lit, making the atmosphere extra homey and snuggly. All of the candles in the Ellipse collection feature natural wooden wicks with up to 50 hours of burn time.

The base layers include cedarwood, sandalwood, patchouli, oakmoss and musk. For similar scents, Yankee Candle has a giftset on offer at Boots for £29.90, originally £65, which contains a collection of scented wax melts and candles.
The giftset contains a medium jar candle in Midnight Jasmine, two small tumbler candles in Wild Orchid and Iced Berry Lemonade, three mini votive candles in Lemon Lavender, Midsummer’s Night, and Bayside Cedar. The set also includes two wax melts in Clean Cotton and Pink Sands.
Dunelm’s Woodwick’s Linen Ellipse Crackle Candle has a 4.3 rating and more than 20 customer reviews – 15 of which have been awarded top star ratings.
One buyer said: “Love this candle. It makes the whole house smell fresh. It lasts for ages. I will be buying again.”
Another commented: “Woodwick Ellipse candles are such showstoppers. It’s soothing, hypnotic and generally very impressive.
“These are my absolute favourites. The linen scent is very calming and balanced.”
A third customer said: “Amazing smell but it burns too fast compared to the hourglass range, and it is more expensive. I bought three Ellipse candles and one hourglass one. The Ellipse candle finished in days and the hourglass lasted weeks!”
A fourth added: “Lovely clean smell. I really recommend this candle, and the crackling sound is very relaxing.”
A fifth wrote: “Fantastic product. Great sound and the smell is incredible. Top in class. Highly recommended.”
Elsewhere, the Neom Reed Diffuser in the scent Happiness is a safer alternative for cat mums or those with toddlers. The scent is a blend of ten essential oils, including white neroli, woody and powdery mimosa and zingy lemon.
