What do you find in the advent candles category?

In this category, we collect advent candles that make it easy to create your own personal tradition. You will find, among other things, classic candles for the Advent wreath and variants in different heights and thicknesses for both candles, bowls and decorations. The colors are subdued and harmonious, so they play nicely with natural branches, fir, ceramics and textiles - and give a calm expression in the living room. If you want to add a personal touch, you can combine the candles with creative materials from the shop: string, ribbons, yarn, small pendants or paper ornaments. Perhaps you want to make a simple decoration on a plate, tie a classic wreath or let the children decorate each of their own little candles for the four Sundays. The selection is curated with a focus on well-made details and materials that we can vouch for - so you can choose safely and focus your energy on what is most important: creating cozy moments throughout December.

Choose the right advent candle - a short guide

Start with the format: If you have a classic wreath, four smaller candles often work well, while a larger block candle is fine on a platter or in a shallow bowl. Think about colors and surfaces – a matte, simple candle gives a calm expression, while a candle with numbers makes the countdown clear for the whole family. Check the product description for diameter and height, so that the candle fits your candlestick or holder. Also consider the surroundings: If the candle is to be placed in a place where it can be seen from several angles, a slightly taller model can be beautiful, while a lower candle can be practical on the dining table. If you want to add a personal touch, you can use our krea materials to make a small garland of yarn, paper or natural string around the candle – just remember to keep the decorations a good distance from the flame. If you are in doubt, please ask us; we will be happy to help you match style, size and function.

FAQ about advent candles

Which Advent candle is best for my Advent wreath?

First measure your wreath or dish: The inner diameter should be able to accommodate the total width of the candles – and there should be air around them. Four medium-sized candles are a safe choice for a traditional wreath, while a long, narrow base is often adorned with four smaller candles in a row. Also think in color harmony with the rest of the room: warm, cream-colored tones provide soft coziness, while cool shades play well with ceramics and metal. If you want to personalize the decoration, you can use ribbons, yarn or small paper ornaments from our krea selection - simple, creative and easy to vary from week to week. Always check the specific measurements in the product text so that you get the right fit for your candle or holder.

How do I care for my Advent candle and get the most out of it?

Always place the candle on a stable, non-flammable surface, and keep a good distance from decorations such as fir, ribbon and paper. Trim the wick slightly before each lighting so that the flame burns calmly, and avoid moving the candle while it is hot. Level the candle so that it burns evenly, and only leave it lit under supervision. Drafts from doors and windows can cause the flame to flicker; if possible, find a quiet place on the table or a shelf. If you want to light the candle for dinner, a slightly lower light may be an advantage so that you maintain eye contact over the table. Extinguish gently - an extinguisher is practical, but you can also blow gently and straighten the wick immediately afterwards. Always follow the instructions on the individual product, and write to us if you are in doubt. Small habits like these extend the experience and make your Advent Sundays even more pleasant.
