Quick! Aldi Mother’s Day designer-style candles only £3.99

Here’s a quick heads up for you. If you’re looking for a really nice Mother’s Day gift, Aldi has just released these luxury fragranced candles and they’re only £3.99 each. Available in-store only from Thursday the 16th of March, and there are limited stocks so snap them up now before they all go.

[EDITED TO ADD: Good news, these are back indefinitely on the Aldi website, so you can buy them online now.]

I’ve managed to get hold of some to review them, and they’re large perfumed candles with double wicks in heavy, stylish jars. The lids are well-fitted and good quality too, and the labels are simple and stylish. These are very generously sized and would make a great gift.

As long as you trim the wicks, they will give you many hours of burn time. I’ve burned one for around sixteen hours now and it’s hardly made a dent. According to the manufacturers you should get at least 48 hours from each one, and that sounds about right to me.

They also release a decent amount of fragrance. Speaking of which, there are three choices of scent, including: No 1 Lime, Basil & Mandarin (uplifting and zesty); No 2 Freesia & Pear (fresh floral); No 3 Pomegranate Noir (heavier fruity floral). They’re all quite similar to fragrances by Jo Malone, although I’d say they’re inspired by them rather than a direct copy. All smell beautiful and classy.

Speaking of which, the 200g Jo Malone candles (similar, but with single wicks and a black bow on the lid) cost £44.00 at the moment, compared with the £3.99 Aldi versions. While not identical, the supermarket ones are similar enough and quite a steal if you’re looking for a lovely, thrifty treat for someone. You might even want to stock up with a few for your own home.

Only available while stocks last. Get in there…
