Handmade Soy Candles
Our soy wax candles are handmade using renewable, biodegradable materials that burn cleaner than traditional paraffin candles. The natural wax holds fragrance exceptionally well while producing minimal soot. Each candle is carefully crafted to provide long-lasting aroma therapy benefits without compromising indoor air quality, making them ideal for homes with children, pets, or those with respiratory sensitivities.
Wax Melts
These versatile wax melts offer a flame-free alternative for enjoying our premium fragrances. Made from the same natural soy wax as our candles, they're available in diverse shapes and over 90 scent options. Simply break off a piece and use with any standard oil burner to release aromatic notes throughout your space without open flames or wicks.
Candle Refill Service
Our sustainable refill service allows customers to repurpose existing candle holders or household containers. We clean and prepare your vessel before pouring a fresh soy wax candle using your chosen fragrance. This environmentally responsible approach reduces waste while preserving sentimental pieces, creating a circular consumption pattern that benefits both customers and the planet.
Tealight Holders
Our curated selection of tealight holders enhances any decorative scheme while optimising light diffusion. Each piece is selected for its ability to complement our natural wax tealights, creating ambient illumination that enhances both residential and special event settings. The holders range from delicate glass designs to robust metal constructions for varied applications.
Fragrance Blending
We offer bespoke fragrance creation for customers seeking unique aromatic experiences. Our experienced team combines traditional perfumery techniques with modern innovation to develop custom scent profiles. From familiar household aromas to fantastical interpretations like 'Alien Princess' and 'Mermaid Kisses', each creation is developed through collaborative experimentation to meet individual preferences.

Picked up some lovely purchases from you at the Manchester Maker's Market yesterday! I'm not local so am yet to visit the shop but after my purchases I definitely will when I'm next in the area. Currently have my rose wax melt on and oh my, it smells delicious! And fairly priced too. See you soon! :)

I love this little shop. It ticks all my boxes - pretty, oh-so-sweet-smelling, cosy, rustic/shabby-chic, unexpected, gorgeous for gifts or self-indulgence, and Lisa-Kay is literally a breath of fresh air for my soul! ♥

Lovely shop and great day spent on a painted furniture workshop with a friend. Lisa is really friendly and helpful and it was such a relaxed, informal environment with a delicious lunch from the nearby Italian! I've been back to the shop a few times since and have just finished my newly decorated bedroom with painted furniture in chalk grey. Looking for my next project....!!!
