Stock up on Christmas candles with Yankee's seven-piece gift set reduced to £24

When it comes to decorating your house and getting it ready for Christmas, there's one detail that people tend to overlook: scent. Having the right festive smells wafting through your home immediately gets you into the spirit of things, and is the cherry on top of all the decor you've worked so hard on.

And right now, you can get Yankee Candle's Signature WOW Gift Set for £24.50, down from £50 at Debenhams. It's perfect as a present, but equally good if you wanted to keep it for yourself this December.

In the set, you get three wax melts - in the suitably festive scents of Holiday Cheer, Magic Bright Lights and Red Apple Wreath - along with three mini candles (smelling of Black Cherry, Shimmering Christmas Tree and Sparkling Winterberry) and to top it all off, a medium-sized candle of white spruce and grapefruit.
