Cotton & Grey Relaxation Candles Review
AD – I was sent a pack of Relaxation Candles from Cotton & Grey to help with this post.
Sometimes we all need a few minutes to relax and unwind. However, it can sometimes be hard to just stop and take time for yourself.
This is where Cotton & Grey have come up with a great idea, that can be used for your own benefit or given as a gift to others.
Who are Cotton & Grey?
Specialising in 20-minute candles, Cotton & Grey came about when they put together a small pack of beeswax candles for a friend who was struggling in lockdown. The friend loved them and the idea exploded from there.
In fact, just six months later they found themselves, finalists, in the Gifts of the Year awards.
Today they offer a number of collections, each including 20-minute candles, offering moments for any occasion. What’s more, they have recently released “a time for” range, which includes a 1-hour candle and pop up affirmation.
You can also sign up for a subscription so you never run out of candles or just buy refills as and when you need them.
Relaxation Candles
I was kindly sent a set of their Relaxation Candles.
Coming in at £14.95 (including free UK postage), the candle set includes; 10 beeswax 20-minute candles and a ceramic holder. You can also optionally add in a personalised card and additional candles for a further cost.
All of the candles sold by Cotton & Grey are made from 100% beeswax and are non-drip. When burning they offer up a light honey scent helping add to the relaxing atmosphere.
Personally, I really love the idea behind the candles. I think at times we all need to take a few minutes and put our feet up. The candles only burning for 20 minutes offers a good time frame for spending some ‘you’ time. It’s long enough to have a cuppa or read a chapter of a book, or even pop on a facemask.
The light fragrance of the candle helps create a unique ambience when added to the flicker of the flame (does anyone else find something calming about candle flames). I can definitely attest to them standing up to their claims of burning for around 20 minutes and can see myself buying them as a gift for friends and family in the future.
If you are looking for a gift to give, to yourself or others, I would definitely suggest checking out Cotton & Grey and their range of candle gift boxes.
What do you think of the sound of these 20-minute candles?

I would love the relaxation candle and would use it before bed when I am reading
I love the bathtime candles. I do a lot of meditation while I’m in the bath it’s my happy place 😌
I love the Bathtime candles, and would wallow in a bubblebath with a good book for 20 minutes!
I’d meditate for twenty minutes to find my zen.
The Bath Time candle set. Perfect for 20 minutes or more of bath time relaxation.
I love the ‘Just to Say’ range – beautiful candles
Bath Time Candles – 20 minutes of no technology, no more chores and no stress! Sounds like perfection
the yoga candles sound fab, perfect for 20 mins of yoga relaxation
The chill out candle set and I would just take some time for myself with no technology and a cup of tea to relax and destress
love the Bath time ones x
I really like the sound of the Bath Time Candles. 20 minutes is just the right amount of time to soak in the tub x
I was surprised to see that almost everything is the same candles with different messages on the packaging. So I’m saying my favourite thing is the “candle refills” aka unpackaged candles. 😉
Realised I didn’t even answer your question, bahah! I would go for either the Meditation or Mindfullness candles, and I would use them to meditate, and try to focus on relieving myself of stress and anxiety for those 20 minutes.
These seem like such a great idea. Love the fact they’re 100% bees wax, too. Non-drip sounds really interesting, as well! Easier clean up lol
They’d be great for 20 minute mediation sessions, and a nice way to time yourself without focusing on the clock.
The light honey scent would be good for me. With having M.E. and migraines, my sense of smell is very sensitive, so anything too powerful causes me bad headaches. Would certainly love to try them.
I would love the relaxation candle to enjoy 20mins hot bubble Bath with candle light after a busy day with my 3 children ❤️
I really would like the Relaxation Candles id use them in the evening and sit relax and probably read with a cup of tea
The Mindfulness Candle Set is my fave and i’d use the time to practice some mindfulness and perhaps do some reading
What a fantastic idea, so simple but a perfect way to make sure there’s time set aside to relax.
I would lile the yoga candles. 20 minutes isbperfect to get a bit of practise in during my lunchbreak.
Chill out candles, just to have some time to myself really ♥
I really would like the Relaxation Candles, and I would just relax and chill for 20 minutes.
What a lovely idea to have special relaxation candles for me time.
Love the idea of these candles, 20 mins out time for yourself. Love the idea of the Relaxation Candles
Chill Out Candles sound right up my street for down-time!
I really like the idea of the ‘Time for Conversation’ candle set. The best gift you can give to someone is time. With my 20 minutes, I’d dedicate the time to connecting with someone, either in person or over the phone.
