“Picantitto” Christmas Centrepiece with Red Candle, Fir and Chillies

Roughly 30 cm in diameter. We give an approximate figure because the branches are natural and no two centrepieces come out quite the same. It is round and fairly low, so guests sitting opposite each other can still see one another; the only thing that rises above the greenery is the candle in the middle.

Because of the dried red chillies poking out of the fir. In Spanish, picante means spicy, and “picantito” is an affectionate diminutive of the word; that is where the name comes from. Like the berries, they are there purely for decoration and are not for eating: if you have little ones or a dog that chews everything, keep it somewhere out of reach.

Yes, it is a real candle and you can light it. As it is tall and slim, the longer it burns, the closer the flame gets to the greenery, so blow it out well before any branch is within reach of the flame. Stand the centrepiece on a steady surface, away from curtains, paper and napkins, never leave the candle burning unattended, and blow it out whenever you go out or head to bed. Unlit, it still does its job as decoration.

Very close, but not a carbon copy. The essentials stay the same: a round shape about 30 cm across, natural fir, one candle and decorative red chillies, all in green and red. Depending on availability on the day, the decorations (baubles, berries), the filler greenery around the fir and the exact shade of the candle may change.

Of course. A card carrying your words comes free with every order, and you fill it in as you check out. Not sure what to say? Bloomi, our AI writing assistant, can help: she drafts a few lines and you adjust them until they sound like you.

When you place your order, you pick the day for delivery and whichever time slot suits you. Our van runs two shifts on weekdays, 10:00–14:00 and 16:00–20:00, just the morning one on Saturdays (10:00–14:00), and stays parked on Sundays. As a guide, in a quiet week an order placed before 9:00 is normally with you by lunchtime, while 13:00 is the cut-off for an afternoon drop-off. December is another story: delivery slots go fast, so please order well in advance. Live close by? Then you can simply pick it up from us in Coll d'en Rabassa.

Yes. A long table suits our elongated centrepiece with two white candles and noble fir; if you like a country look, the rustic one on wood slices has several candles and chillies too, and stands taller. For softer pink and champagne tones, take a look at the “Winter Candle” centrepiece, and for something white with a fairy and lights, see the “Ada” Christmas arrangement. And if you would like flowers in it, our “Claus” centrepiece has red roses.
