Amber & Spice

Amber & Spice: A Candle Gift Set with Fresh Flowers

A candle gift set should feel like more than wax in a box. Amber & Spice is three warm things at once: a posy of autumn-toned roses in a little glass vase, a Shearer Candles Orange Pomander candle to light, and the glow they make together. Bi-colour orange and red roses, soft peach blooms, red berries and a haze of golden solidago, tied with an orange ribbon, beside a candle that smells of orange and warm spice. We hand-pack every box ourselves in our Claremont studio, the way we have since 1999, and it is backed by a 5.0 Trustpilot rating and thousands of five-star Loox reviews. Find more in our candles, our scented candles and the full gift hampers range.

Amber & Spice at a Glance

• Inside: a fresh autumn-toned rose posy in a glass vase, plus a scented candle
• Candle: a Shearer Candles Orange Pomander candle, orange and warm spice
• Palette: orange, red, peach and gold, tied with an orange ribbon
• Best for: a thank-you, a housewarming, a birthday, or a warm treat

Light the candle, set the flowers nearby, and let the whole room go warm and golden.

What Is in the Box

Two lovely things, chosen to feel generous. The candle is a Shearer Candles Orange Pomander, a tantalising orange and spice scent in a frosted glass jar with a gold lid, the smell of clove-studded oranges and a warm kitchen. The posy is a gather of bi-colour orange and red roses with peach blooms, red hypericum berries and golden solidago, arriving in a little glass vase ready for a table or windowsill. If you would like more in the same warm palette, our sparkling orange bouquet, the coral sunset peony bouquet, the orange and sage aromatherapy candle and the Shearer amber and rose jar candle are all lovely. The roses arrive in water, and our guide to caring for flowers in a vase helps them last.

A Candle, Flowers and a Warm Glow

There is a particular comfort in warm light and a warm scent. A good candle changes a room the moment it is lit, orange and spice especially, which carries that cosy, just-baked feeling through the whole house. Add fresh flowers in the same autumn colours and the gift feels considered rather than quick. It is the sort of present that gets used and remembered, rather than tucked in a drawer. For more to set the mood, our home fragrances are worth a browse, and the warm tones make our orange flowers a natural match. Our gift baskets guide has more on building a thoughtful one.

When to Send Amber & Spice

This is a warm, easy gift for plenty of moments. It makes a generous thank-you, so our thank-you gift boxes are worth a look, and the cosy candle makes it a lovely housewarming present from our housewarming gift boxes range. The autumn roses suit a birthday too, especially for someone who loves warm colours, and you will find more of them in our orange roses. Not sure it is quite right? Our guide to choosing the perfect gift can help you decide.

Same-Day Delivery in Cape Town

Frequently Asked Questions

What is in the Amber & Spice candle gift set?

It holds two things: a fresh posy of autumn-toned roses in a glass vase, and a Shearer Candles Orange Pomander scented candle. The flowers vary a little with the season while the warm orange, red and gold theme stays the same.

What does the candle smell like?

Is a candle gift set a good present?

Fabulous Flowers and Gifts Fresh Flowers Care Instructions

Fresh Flowers

Find a Vase: Your lovely blooms need a drink! Put them in your favourite vase with fresh water as soon as possible.

Trim Those Stems: Keep those stems fresh by cutting them at an angle. This allows more water up the stem. Checking and trimming the stems every few days will keep them sound.

Gently Strip Leaves: Remove any excess leaves, especially from the part of the stem that will be submerged. This helps to avoid rot and bacteria, which can shorten your flowers life span.

Remove Old Blooms: Drooping flowers release ethylene gas, which may accelerate the aging of other flowers. Strip off any dead or dying flowers to keep the rest of the bouquet looking bright and fresh.

Keep Them Cool: Place your flowers away from heat sources such as heaters, televisions, or ovens to retain the beauty of your flowers.

Clean Water: Always place your flowers in clean water. Refresh your vase with water daily or at least every second day.

Gift Boxes

Storage Tips: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to keep contents in perfect condition.

Handling with Care: Handle this box gently so as not to damage the delicate items inside.

Freshening: If your gift includes foods or beverages, please refer to the individual product use-by and expiry dates and the informational materials regarding storage recommendations:

Plants

Watering: Ensure your plants are hydrated but avoid overwatering. Check the soil moisture regularly and water it when the top inch feels dry.

Light: Place your plants in a spot where they receive the appropriate amount of light. Some prefer bright, indirect light, while others thrive in low-light conditions.

Feeding: Feed your plants with a balanced fertiliser every few weeks during the growing season to keep them healthy and vibrant.

Pruning: Regularly remove dead leaves and trim back overgrown branches to encourage new growth and maintain the plant shape.

Humidity: Some plants thrive in high humidity. If needed, mist your plants occasionally or place a humidifier nearby to create a favourable environment.

Artificial Flowers and Plants

Dusting: Your artificial flowers and botanicals should be lightly dusted regularly with a soft cloth or feather duster.

Light Washing: For deeper cleaning, please use a cloth lightly dampened with water and a small amount of mild detergent. Gently wipe the leaves and petals.

Avoid Direct: Sunlight Do not place under direct sunlight in order to prevent colours from fading.

Fluff and Arrange: Just fluff up petals and leaves to remain fluffy. Set them in position as desired to look natural.

Personalize: Gift your flowers, Gift Boxes, and Artificial Flowers and Plants with the Care They Deserve; they will be a Source of Joy and Elegance for you. The charm of fresh flowers, the delight of a thoughtful gift box, and the endless beauty of an artificial plant all special moments created by Fabulous Flowers and Gifts.
