Eco - The Window & Candle Box

A tabletop forest window with beeswax candles, incense and a seed bottle.

A 4 × 8 inch MDF frame carries printed forest artwork with preserved moss and botanicals set into it — the piece that stays on the table. Two beeswax candles and twenty-five sandalwood incense sticks handle the evening. A corked bottle of seeds and moss on a festive card goes on the desk afterwards.

• The window is the half that lasts. Preserved botanicals hold their colour without water or light, so it stays out long after the candles are gone.
• Four pieces with a real framed piece among them. Most gifting at this level is consumables in a printed box; this one leaves something behind.
• Beeswax rather than paraffin, and incense made from upcycled temple flowers — twenty-five sticks at roughly forty-five minutes each.
• A recycled kraft box with a printed festive wrap. Uncoated board, no plastic window and no foam, so the whole pack goes into the paper recycling in one piece.
