My name is Caroline Powell and I am a cancer survivor. Diagnosed back in 2019, I have really been put through the mill, but my most recent post-treatment scans show that I’m thankfully clear.

 

Surviving cancer has completely changed my outlook on life and given me a renewed zest for living – just as if I’ve been given a second chance.

 

Which I have! In the midst of all my treatment (click through to “My Story” if you want the details!) one kind friend gave me a lavender candle. Lavender has long been known to calm disquiet and soothe anxiety and this candle certainly smelt pleasant, although it burned out very quickly.

Which got me to thinking … could I do better? So, inspired by the kind gesture of a friend that had put a smile on my face, I determined to make eco-friendly candles from soy wax that would have wonderful aromas, burn for much longer, and put a smile on the face of those who open that gift from a caring friend.

Petit Oiseau Gifts was born!

 

I love hand-making my candles and melts, and hope you will delight in the fragrances. Each candle is made with love from me to you and I take huge personal pleasure in knowing that your gift brings joy and positive energy into your life x
