Marks & Spencer’s cocktails in a can have become synonymous with British spring and summer, and now you can pick up a £10 scented candle inspired by the best-sellers
If you’ve ever been on a train, had a picnic in the park or spent an afternoon on the beach, the chances are you’ll have been within 10 feet of an M&S cocktail in a can. The on-the-go drinks have become an iconic part of British culture, especially in the spring and summer, and now M&S has taken them one step further.
You can now buy four of the best-selling flavours in the form of an M&S tinny candle, and it’s the perfect talking point centrepiece for your coffee table, mantlepiece or dining table. Priced at £10 each, they come in colourful glass jars shaped like the brand’s signature “tinny” cans, and you can choose from four different cocktail-inspired scents.

The M&S tinny candle can be picked up in Gin & Tonic, Pink Passion Star Martini, Pina Colada and Mojito. Each candle has up to 100 hours burn time, and comes with a pop-on lid that features a faux ring pull design that helps keep the scent for longer.
The Gin & Tonic candle has a bright, fresh scent with citrus and lemon to give your room a refreshing lift, whilst the Pink Passion Star Martini has a fruity fragrance. Both the Pina Colada and Mojito ones bring the scent of holiday into your home, with fresh and uplifting notes of citrus.
Each candle measures 13.3cm high, 6.8cm wide and 7.9cm long, making them just the right size to sit in the middle of a table, on a shelf or windowsill, or on a mantlepiece. The candles have only just launched so have no reviews as of yet, but according to the M&S website have sold multiple times in the last few days, with the Pink Passion Star Martini currently proving the most popular.
Playful candles are definitely having a big moment right now, and are great for bringing a little bit of fun and whimsy to your home decor. Some other great ones we’ve spotted include Martini Spring Icon Gourmand Dirty Martini Glass Candle which is currently on sale at Anthropologie for a limited time, down from £36 to £25.
Another that comes in the shape of the actual cocktail is the Afewhometruths Vegan Handmade Scented Cosmopolitan Cocktail Candle is £15 down from £19.95 at Debenhams. You could also get the Introna Ciliegia Cherry Cheesecake Wax Candle at Selfridges for £45 if you want something other than cocktails.
