With the days quickly becoming frosty, colder and darker there is nothing quite as relaxing as coming home after a long day to the cosy glow and atmosphere a beautiful candle gives. They will transform your home in literally seconds and if you're anything like me, and love a good bubble bath & cuppa tea, your bath is not complete without a luxury candle's scent and glow.
Parkminster Products is a beautiful family run company. They have been making candles and home fragrance products since the beginning of 2010 when Krystyna Patey quit her day job to follow her dreams of making her own fragrance products. A true inspiration to many. After several years of hard work, melting, blending and pouring her heart out in her country cottage kitchen, Krystyna grew her much loved brand and gained a fantastic reputation that her candles and home fragrance products are now well known all over the UK and in Europe.
We are delighted to be the only current stockist in the North West and have recently extended our product offering from the brand with some lovely new Christmas scents and their fab new range Apothecary. I LOVE these!
Have a look at some of our favourites.. however it's hard to choose a scent as they are all delicious. However if we have to choose, our personal fav and the scent of ANNA Boutique is Pomelo & Ginger.
Each product is crafted in a simple and traditional way, everything is blended in small batches, hand poured, labelled and boxed in West Sussex with the best natural ingredients. Krystyna also puts a huge emphasis on the importance of each member of her team which we love to hear.
If you're looking for a lovely gift for someone this Christmas, the Parkminster range would be the perfect place to start with prices beginning at €7.50.
