Living Light is a New Zealand candle maker, founded in 1998, whose handcrafted candles are made in Golden Bay. The Nelson store is in Central Arcade at 219 Trafalgar Street, and the range is also sold online. Its products include scented candles, soy melts, reed diffusers, room sprays, body lotion, body bars and hand cream, and gift sets. The business uses natural waxes and says it considers its packaging and processes to keep its impact on the environment gentle. It also supports local and boutique New Zealand businesses. The website offers free New Zealand shipping on larger orders, and sends orders to Australia.
Customers praise the scents, which they describe as delicate, subtle and long-lasting, and say the candles burn for hours. Several mention the room sprays and say the fragrance stays in the room. One customer says the body lotion is luxurious without a heavy residue. Others say the gift sets are beautifully wrapped and make good presents. Customers also say the website is easy to use and that orders arrive quickly. For a gift for someone who loves scent, or a home that needs a little ambience, the shop offers a range of candles and sets from one maker.
