Visitors to Stratford Avenue will certainly be enthralled by the
festivity which unfolds, spiced by the essence of various flavours.
There are your traditional yet high quality candles while there are the

Apples and pears are perfect to add the seasonal touch to your table
while flowers like frangipani add elegance to your home. Drop them in a
bowl filled with water and set them alight and these floating beauties
will bring a whole new outlook to your home.
The shop also includes a stunning range of candle holders to go with
the candles. They come in various sizes and shapes and will no doubt add
a revamping touch to any home.
Though red and green are the seasonal colours there are many diverse
shades for those who wish to give a different look to the season.
"Candles are the in thing of the season. Many people have already
purchased them and we have already sold a large amount of candle
holders.
Gandhara is well known for quality products and our candles are no
exception. We vie to deliver the best for our customers," a Gandhara
spokesman said adding that many more seasonal products will make their
appearance at the shop towards the festive season.
