Every Say it With Wax candle is lovingly hand-poured in Surrey using:✨ Materials

Premium Fragrance Oils
Carefully selected, phthalate- and paraben-free fragrance oils for a high-quality scent throw without the harsh stuff.

Glass Apothecary Jars with Gold Lids

Timeless, reusable, and designed to look good in any space.

Candle Care Tips:

Let the wax pool fully on the first burn, no tunnelling on our watch!
Trim the wick to 5mm before each light for a cleaner flame.
Keep away from pets, kids, and exes.
Never burn for more than 3 hours at a time. Your candle deserves a break too.
Use a heatproof coaster to put your candle on.

Treat it right, and it’ll keep the vibes (and the fragrance) going strong.

Each candle is hand-poured, so no two are exactly the same (just how we like it). You might notice the odd slightly wonky label, a tiny wick shift, or natural colour variation from the fragrance — all completely normal, and it won’t affect how beautifully your candle burns or smells.

Shipping:

We hand-pour and pack each candle with love (and a healthy dose of sarcasm) from our little HQ in Surrey, UK.

Orders are usually dispatched within 2–3 working days - because good things take time, but not that much time.

UK shipping from £2.95
Free shipping on orders over £35
Tracked delivery options available for peace of mind (and nosey tracking)

Smells funny in a bad way?

If your candle arrived a bit worse for wear, snap a photo and drop us a message.

We’ll make it right quicker than you can say “burn, baby, burn”.
