2020 has been a dead ringer for a nightmare that’s fit for a movie directed by Steven Spielberg himself. Just as things were seemingly calming down and life was returning to ‘normal’ (whatever that means anymore) , Pakistan and most other countries have been thrown into the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic. While offices still remain open, schools may be closing again and it’s safe to say a lot of us will be spending a significant amount of time at home during the winter months. A trip to the spa or a weekend getaway may seem risky, but thankfully candles are a sure-shot way of adding a luxurious element to either a living space or a home office. Here’s a list of candles that can be ordered online and delivered to your doorstep, without you having to risk stepping out unnecessarily:
