A considered Christmas gift should feel connected to the person receiving it. Colour, form and the way someone lives with objects can offer a useful starting point. PLAMYA Christmas gifts include boxed taper candle sets, colour combinations chosen by you, sculptural candles and candle holders. For a complete gift, choose Holly or Build Your Set. For something smaller, a pair of Deep Burgundy or Deep Pine taper candles works well.
The Holly set
Holly brings together three red and three green taper candles in a set of six. The colours reference a familiar Christmas palette while keeping the composition clear and contemporary.
The set arrives in a PLAMYA box and is ready to give. It suits someone who enjoys setting the table, hosting at home or using colour throughout an interior.
The candles can be arranged as one group, divided between two holders or placed along the centre of a dining table. Once Christmas is over, the red and green shades can be separated and used throughout the year.
Build a set around their interior
Build Your Set allows you to select six taper candles individually. It is a useful option when you know the colours someone already has at home.
For interiors with wood, linen and warm ceramics, consider Soft Ivory, Earth Brown and Warm Clay. Deep Pine, Olive and Matcha work naturally with plants and darker wood. Deep Burgundy and Vivid Red bring a stronger note of colour to a dining table or mantelpiece.
Each set of six arrives in a PLAMYA box. The finished combination feels personal while giving the recipient the freedom to arrange the colours in their own way.
A smaller gift in a seasonal colour
A pair of taper candles is a simple option for Secret Santa, a host gift or a smaller Christmas present.
Deep Burgundy has a dark wine tone that works well with winter table settings, dark wood and clear glass. Deep Pine is a deep green with an earthy character, suited to natural foliage and quieter interiors.
Each pair is priced from £15 and finished with a PLAMYA paper band. The format is compact and easy to add to a larger gift.
A sculptural gift for the home
The Volcanic Stone Collection is designed for someone drawn to tactile surfaces and sculptural forms. Each candle carries the irregular texture and asymmetry of volcanic rock, translated into wax.
These pieces can be placed on a shelf, side table or console as part of an interior composition. Selected candle holders and bases can be added to create a complete gift.
Each Volcanic Stone candle is poured and finished by hand in London and presented in a PLAMYA box.

Candle holders as a Christmas gift
A candle holder works as a gift on its own or alongside a pair of taper candles. When choosing one, consider where it will be used.
A minimal holder fits easily into an existing table setting. A taller or more sculptural form introduces height and becomes a stronger part of the composition.
Pairing a holder with Deep Burgundy or Deep Pine creates a complete Christmas gift while allowing each piece to be used separately later.
How to choose the right candle gift
Start with the recipient’s home.
Look at the materials and colours they already use. Warm wood and natural linen work well with earthy and neutral shades. Green tones connect with foliage and darker interiors. Burgundy and red suit someone who uses stronger colour.
Then consider how they use their space. Someone who often hosts may appreciate a set of six taper candles. A person who enjoys choosing colour will get more from Build Your Set. Someone drawn to objects and texture may prefer a piece from the Volcanic Stone Collection.
PLAMYA taper candles are currently unscented, so they can be used at the dining table without competing with food. This also makes them easier to choose when you do not know someone’s fragrance preferences.

Holly, Build Your Set and the other sets of six arrive in PLAMYA boxes. The Volcanic Stone Collection is also presented in a box.
