Outside it gets dark early. Inside, the first tealight is burning. And on the windowsill a small motif casts warm light into the room.

Why this tealight holder makes a difference every day

Christmas decoration doesn't have to be loud to work. The light wooden column with its glowing motif brings calm and a natural look to the room. It fits in with almost any Advent decoration – on the windowsill, the sideboard or the laid table. Instead of lots of separate decorations, this one piece with a tealight is often enough. And the evening instantly feels a little cosier.

Material & finish

The tealight holder is made from hardwood. It has a light, smoothly sanded surface on which the natural wood structure remains visible. As the wood is untreated, you can paint, varnish or oil it as you like. Or simply leave it as it is. Wood is a purely natural material. Each column turns out slightly different in shade. Small irregularities in the grain or fine knots are normal and not a defect. This is exactly what makes every piece one of a kind. The sturdy, dimensionally stable quality and clean workmanship ensure that the holder stands securely. Made in the EU.

How to use the tealight holder

• As a small Advent gift: a single holder with a star motif. You have a natural present that is ready to use straight away.
• In a café or bakery: one tealight holder on the counter or on each table. Set up in just a few minutes, it creates a Christmassy atmosphere for your guests.
• To decorate yourself: paint or oil the untreated wood to match the rest of your Advent decoration. This way the holder fits right in with your colour scheme.

Good to know about the Christmas tree and star

The Christmas tree and the star are among the oldest symbols of the Christmas season. The decorated tree has been rooted in German-speaking countries for centuries. The star recalls the Star of Bethlehem, which showed the way to the manger. That is why both motifs suit not only Advent at home. They also work for Christmas parties, festively laid tables and Christmas shop windows.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. Simply wipe off dust with a dry, soft cloth. As the wood is untreated, you should avoid wetness and constant moisture. That way the light surface keeps its natural look for many Advent seasons. If you like, you can give the wood extra protection with varnish or oil.
