Candlelight brightens even the darkest corner

Candles have accompanied humanity for centuries and remain just as popular today, primarily for creating a cosy atmosphere. If you want to buy candles, you will discover numerous options for atmospheric lighting, pleasant scents or decorative focal points. Classic wick candles are just as sought-after as unusual designs. The range also includes wax candles in various shapes and materials. We offer a wide selection – after all, no two models are the same, and each option has its own special features. Below, we introduce the most important types of candles in more detail.

What should you look for when choosing a new candle?

Before we look at the individual types, let us consider the basic features that distinguish candles. Even small details can be decisive for your purchase. Differences lie mainly in the design, shape and the material from which they are made.

Candles by design differ mainly in their appearance and often feature specific themes. You will find entire sets with Christmas, Easter or even movie-inspired motifs. Decorative models in a rustic style or for Halloween are also available.
Candles by shape expand the selection with many interesting designs that are constantly becoming more diverse. In addition to classic free-standing models and those in cylindrical jars, there are also unusual shapes, such as boats or hearts, as well as particularly tall or exceptionally large specimens.
Candles by material allow you to choose between different raw materials. For example, wax candles are made from paraffin, soy wax, palm wax or beeswax. Paraffin is derived from petroleum, while other types of wax use plant-based or animal-derived raw materials. With wax candles, it is also worth paying attention to quality and soot behaviour.

Scented candles – a beautiful addition for relaxing hours

Scented candles are an excellent choice when you want to relax or fill your home with a pleasant aroma. In just a short time, a room can transform into a cosy oasis of well-being. A burning candle with your favourite scent creates an inviting atmosphere and can contribute to a relaxing evening. Use the filters on the left to choose between fresh, floral, fruity and sweet fragrance notes, as well as spicy, woody, oriental and festive aromas.

Reed diffusers are also suitable for pleasantly scenting your home or office. They can also serve as a decorative home accessory. .

Tealights – proven classics for many occasions

Tealights are the small lights, usually housed in a cup, that almost everyone knows and which are mainly used indoors. Originally, they were used to keep tea warm in a pot on a warmer. Today, they are also used in candle holders, lanterns, salt lamps and oil burners, or to create a romantic table decoration. Their soft candlelight creates an especially cosy mood. Tealights are usually sold in larger packs containing several dozen pieces. We offer both unscented and numerous scented options.

Candles in glass jars – practical and decorative

Candles in glass jars are becoming increasingly popular because they are often larger than conventional models, easy to place and frequently offer a longer burn time. Many of them are scented and come with a lid that protects the wax from dust when not in use. Wick candles in glass jars combine a beautiful look with practical benefits. Thanks to their modern design, they are suitable as a stylish addition to various living spaces or as a thoughtful gift for your loved ones. Once the candle has burnt down, you can reuse the cleaned glass to store small items.

Festive candles for special occasions

Festive candles are simply part of the holidays for many people. With Christmas or Easter motifs, they create the right mood, while Advent candle sets make preparing for Christmas easier. Models with Christian motifs can also be a beautiful decoration and a sign of faith. Candles as gifts are also a thoughtful idea for festive occasions. A memorial candle, on the other hand, remembers deceased relatives and friends – whether lit at the cemetery or at home.

Anti-mosquito candles against annoying insects

Anti-mosquito candles can help keep mosquitoes and other annoying insects away. They often combine a longer burn time with a fresh scent. They are particularly suitable for outdoor use, such as in the garden, on the terrace or balcony, so you can enjoy your time outdoors as undisturbed as possible.

LED candles as an alternative without an open flame

LED candles are a practical choice for anyone looking for an alternative to classic wax lights. Unlike wax candles, they generate their light using light-emitting diodes instead of an open flame. They are usually powered by C or AA batteries. A burning candle, on the other hand, always requires attention, especially in households with small children or lively pets. LED models reduce the risk of fire from a knocked-over flame and shine for a long time depending on the battery life. This also means you need to buy replacements less often.

What other types of candles are there?

Finally, we would like to introduce some special categories. Even with wick candles, there are options for very specific occasions. Knowing these helps you choose the right model even more purposefully. Which types are suitable?

Votive candles are smaller versions of large scented candles and are excellent for trying out different scents. Remember to use a suitable candle holder, as votive candles liquefy as they burn.
Birthday candles are a must on any birthday cake. After all, blowing out the flames is part of a successful birthday celebration.
Candle gift sets are a beautiful and practical gift idea. They also offer the opportunity to discover new scents and different types of candles.

What else should you look for when buying candles?

Now that we have introduced the most important types, it is worth looking at other selection criteria. The filters on the left side of our online shop will help you with this. First, you can filter by size and weight. If you want to get to know a scent or a variant first, a smaller version is often recommended for trying out. You also have a free choice of colour: from subtle models that fit into almost any interior to bold shades as a special eye-catcher, plenty is available. In addition, depending on availability, you can filter by vegan or handmade products, country of manufacture, container type and quantity per pack.
