The Candle’s Out, But the Magic Continues

Here at Soaps Candles and Home, we hate the idea of anything ending up in landfill. That’s why, right from the beginning of our candle-making journey, we carefully considered how our vessels could be reused — even after the final flicker of the flame. Every jar, pot, and holder we create has been tested with reuse in mind, so once your candle has burned through, it’s just the start of a new story. Here are our top 5 reuses This dolphin pot was the perfect size for my claw clips - keeps them together and tidy I found the wild horses pot perfect for my hair ties. It stopped them getting caught in my claw clips and was the perfect size. And the cotton buds? They’ve found a new home in our little sailboat pot. It's such a joy seeing these vessels continue to be part of everyday life, long after the candle has burned down. Instead of having an untidy bathroom, everything now has its place — and it all looks so pretty! Our reused candle pots have helped create a space that’s not only mo...

Scent of the Month: Pumpkin Spiced Latte 🎃☕

 This month’s scent pick was inspired by something a little unexpected—and a lot delicious. A friend once made us a homemade pumpkin pie , and the smell that filled their kitchen was unforgettable. It was warm, spicy, sweet, and totally comforting.  Now, pumpkin pie isn’t exactly an Aussie staple (from what we know, it’s more of a traditional American Thanksgiving thing—thanks, TV!), so this was a bit of a novelty for us. A special treat with a scent that instantly stuck.  That pie led us straight to our Pumpkin Spiced Latte candle. It’s everything we loved about that moment: a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and creamy vanilla, with that subtle roasted coffee note tying it all together. Pure cozy season and beautiful memories for our friend ( the recipe was from her adopted american grandmother)  https://soapcandleshomeaustralia.com/shop-with-us/e/Pumpkin-Spiced-Latte-Container-Candle-p684723318 Pumpkin Spiced Latte is more than just a scent—it’s a feeling.
