Absolutely love my two Christmas tree candles! And all of the candles I have ever bought. Lovely candles. Lovely smell and everyone compliments them when they come round
This year I wanted to buy presents from as many independent retailers as I could and thus one does nit disappoint from the perfume of the candle , tge details of the plants and the packaging. Beautiful xo
Bought from Monika before, and will definitely buy again She never let's ne down
Thank you so much for these wonderful little pots of yummyness. They smell INCREDIBLE and make my whole home smell like autumn! Such a great scent from such a little cute thing. Can’t recommend enough and I’ll definitely be getting some more next season! 5* from me
I love it, the scent is incredible and the pumpkin is so cute! I can't stop smelling it as it's not at all overpowering.
It was also packaged well and safely. The box and ribbon are also lovely touches, it feels like a luxury gift.
I'm also impressed by how quickly it arrived. Thank you so much! I highly recommend Leaves and Prickles!
I love this candle - it smells incredible and looks soooo cute . Perfect for cozy autumn vibes. Burns nice and slowly too so it’s lasting ages. 100% worth a purchase a gift to yourself or someone else!

decorative candles with a botanical touch
About terrarium cactus candles
My terrarium cactus candles were born from my love for being creative and my passion for all things green, coming together. As a nature lover and someone who’s happiest when making beautiful things, creating cacti-inspired terrarium candles is bringing me so much joy, and the best part is knowing that most of my amazing customers choose my botanical candles as special gifts...

what is a terrarium and the benefits of making one
About DIY terrarium kits
Low-maintenance and beautiful to look at, a terrarium is a self-contained ecosystem designed for growing humidity-loving plants. Typically made in sealed glass containers, terrariums include a drainage layer, specialised soil, and tropical plant species. As the plants photosynthesise and transpire, moisture evaporates and condenses on the glass walls. This condensation then drips back into the soil, creating a self-sustaining water cycle that keeps the plants nourished.
