🇺🇦 This lovely lady responded to our call for Candles for Ukraine and brought lots to put in our box! If you have got any to spare, half used or that melted in the summer heat please do bring them down to the shop. They can be used to make fire starter discs to boil water or to make trench candles. All will help Ukrainians survive this winter.

🎃 This lovely lad bought THREE pumpkins today for his sisters! We hope they enjoy carving them! If you are carving pumpkins for Halloween then here are a few tips to make them last longer:

Use LED tea lights or fairy lights instead of candles - Heat cooks the pumpkin from the inside. A real candle or tealight sitting in a closed pumpkin bakes the flesh around it, softening the walls until they sag. Pumpkin flesh is mostly water. Heat plus moisture speeds up rot and mould.

Lots of cut-outs weaken the structure. The big eyes and detailed mouth on your design remove a lot of the wall, so there’s less to hold it up once it softens

If you want real candles, ventilate. Cut a chimney hole in the lid or the top, and scoop out the inside thoroughly so the walls are thin but even (about 2.5 cm).

Carve as late as you can. A carved pumpkin lasts roughly 3 to 5 days indoors, so carve it a day or two before you want to show it off.

Keep it cool when it’s not lit. Store it somewhere cold, like a porch, balcony or fridge.

Slow the rot. Rub the cut edges with petroleum jelly, or soak the carved pumpkin for an hour in cold water with a splash of bleach or lemon juice, then dry it well.
Choose a sturdy pumpkin and a simpler design. Pick one with a thick, firm wall and no soft spots, and leave a bit more pumpkin between the cut-outs.

Hope this is helpful and we will be looking out for all your 🎃 at Halloween!
