The boys have designed a gift set of three Perfumed Xmas Candles, featuring the 'authentic smell of Xmas'.
While 'perfumed' was not among the words that sprang to mind when they showed them to me – which as it happens were 'malodorous', 'acrid' and 'foul' – they both said it was one of the two aromas that evoked memories of their Mum, Mrs V's house in winter when they were pups.
The other nostalgic smell was the bottoms burning out of saucepans, but they conceded that was a less likely candidate for Scented Xmas Candles.
The candle set is demonstrated here by Antony and Tiny Toy, for scale.
If you do buy a set of these, it would probably be best not to light them…
