Primark shoppers think the retailer's 'gorgeous' new £4.50 candles are 'too cute' to light. The high street giant, known for its budget-friendly homeware, has delighted candle lovers with its latest spring range.
Shoppers fell in love with the candles when they were featured in a viral TikTok video. In a post shared by @Ruthyoungx, the lifestyle blogger highlighted her favourite finds from a recent shopping trip. She said: "Swipe for some Primark Home gorgeousness. Her caption continued: "Can you even cope with the candles."
Ruth showcased a selection of scented candles, including cocktail-shaped candles and a sea shell option. There were candles shaped like strawberry daiquiri and spicy margarita cans, along with eye-catching candles shaped like cocktail glasses, with the glasses priced at £4.50 each.
While there are differences between the scented cocktail glass candles, it's fair to say they could both add a 'touch of whimsical charm to your space', as per Primark's product description. Primark suggests the candles could make a 'perfect gift for any fan of quirky decor or those looking to add a splash of style to their home.'
Viewers certainly loved the designs. Fans flocked to the comments section to praise the designs, reports the Mirror. One enthusiastic shopper wrote: "WHO IS RUNNING THEIR PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT I NEED IT ALL." A second thought: "Those cocktail candles are everything."
A third fan confessed: "The way I wouldn't even burn them as they're too cute." Another agreed: "I love the cocktail candles but I would literally never burn them," and Ruth responded: "No I bought one just for a prop that's completely normal."
Someone else praised: "Okay the cocktail candles have my heart." A shopper suggested: "Primark trip needed." A fan said: "Primark coming throughhhhh." Another commented: "Wow looks amazing." Someone added: "HOW DO U FIND ALL THE GOOD STUFF!!!!!"
Shoppers will need to keep their eyes peeled, as it doesn't look like all of the designs are currently listed on Primark's website. However, there's a selection of candles to browse, with many available to click and collect.
Shoppers who liked the canned candles might also enjoy a £4.50 Drink Can Scented Candle. Primark's product description states "Designed to look like a classic drink can, it’s made from yellow tinted glass that’s decorated with lemons and daisies and enjoys a refreshing 'limoncello spritz' fragrance."
Meanwhile, those looking for summer-ready candles can choose from various fruit-inspired and beach-themed designs. For instance, there's a a £5 3pk Mini Jar Candles ideal for beach lovers, plus a £5 Scented Candle In Lemon Shaped Container and an £8 Candle In Hammered Metal Pineapple.
The product description for the pineapple candle states: "Add a touch of tropical charm to your space with this hammered metal pineapple candle. The gold-toned container features a textured design, complete with a leafy crown that doubles as a lid, making it both a statement piece and a practical home accessory."
