Shaped Candles

Shaped candles are bought as much for how they look as for how they burn. Ours are hand-poured in soy wax in small batches - glittery toadstools, ghosts, pumpkins and other small sculptural shapes - and every one comes out slightly different, which is the point of something made by hand.

They suit shelves, bedside tables, bathrooms and any spot that needs one small interesting object. Lit, they burn cleanly on a cotton wick; unlit, they hold their own next to books and plants. Most people keep at least one purely as decor, since a shaped candle loses its form once it's burning.

As gifts they're low-risk and high-charm: no sizing, no strong fragrance to guess at, and they work for birthdays, new homes and Christmas alike. Cottagecore fans, houseplant people and anyone whose flat is already full of small lovely things will get it immediately. Browse the full candle range or our scented soy candles.
