If you're looking for a Christmas gift that feels a little more special than your standard candle, NEXT may have just solved your present-buying problems. Its brand-new musical candle tin is the ultimate gift that has something to discover long after the wrapping paper has been ripped to shreds.
At first glance, it looks like a beautiful festive candle tin, but there's much more to it than just that. The clever design doubles up as a handy storage tin, plays music AND even projects a magical starry-night scene, turning it into something you can actually bring out and enjoy every Christmas.
And, of course, there's the main product itself. Inside you'll find six beautifully scented candles, giving you plenty of opportunity to burn throughout the festive season and the befuddling twixmas period. And really, who doesn't love receiving a candle at Christmas?
Once you've enjoyed all six candles, the tin can be reused to store decorations, jewellery, keepsakes or any other bits and pieces that need a pretty home.
The starry-night projector makes it even more fun, creating a cosy atmosphere when you're settling down for a quiet evening at home. Add in the gentle music and you've got something that feels much more like a Christmas experience than a traditional candle gift.
And we love that it only costs £22. This is a very good value option for someone who is notoriously difficult to buy for. It works for candle lovers, homebodies and anyone who enjoys a little bit of festive magic, and the reusable tin means they'll still have something to enjoy once the candles have burned down.
If you're looking for a gift that's useful, beautiful and just a little bit unexpected, this might be one of our favourite finds for Christmas 2026.
