First candle i've found that's over delivered.

Purchased my first scented candle from these guys early November 25 from a Xmas fair in Essex.
Lady promised me the following.
Scent 100% to end . Burn 100% to end.
Guaranteed me or my money back.
I have the candle burning in the the bathroom and it ran out last night. The lady was 100% right.
I have today re ordered. You wont regret the purchase.

Outstanding service & Amazing scent

Unfortunately we received Refills not the reed diffuser bottles which having spoken to Emma has sorted out for us & is sending out the empty bottles for us to fill.

It was a bit confusing ordering as we believe we ordered the correct items but the ordering system we think changed what we wanted. Anyway all fine & the scent we ordered is the best we have ever had. We will be back for more. It is quite a lot more expensive than your ordinary reed diffusers but you get what you pay for. Thank you Emma for replying so promptly & sorting this out for us.

Perfect gift

I ordered a small candle gift wrapped and two bars of soap as a birthday present for my partner. They arrived very quickly and beautifully wrapped. She even took the time to gift wrap the two bars of soap, free of charge. I was very happy with the order and my girlfriend loved her gift! I would definitely recommended and look forward to ordering from Elsie and Tom again in the future.

I look forward to creating more lovely moments for you both in the future. Thank you for choosing Elsie and Tom.

Fabulous products, impeccable service

I love all Elsie and Tom products. In particular the diffusers, which I always have in my home. The packaging and attention to detail means that anything from the range makes an indulgent and thoughtful present. Over the years I have gifted these gorgeous candles, diffusers and soaps to friends at home and abroad. I have also used them as thoughtful corporate gifts and thank you gifts for teachers at my daughter’s school. All recipients are now Elsie&Tom fans and devotees! Fabulous company with impeccable service.

Candle convert!

Bought two table decorations at Christmas, including two candles after seeing Elsie and Tom at a local market. Oh my gosh I wasn't disappointed! Absolutely beautiful fragrances that fill the whole room. Bought another candle at Hadleigh Market recently. Wouldn't buy candles from anywhere else now!

Also love the mini diffusers which I hang in my car - helps with that wet doggie smell after a wet walk!
