Create a Zen Calming Corner with Our Whispers of the East Gift Box

 I know how busy life gets—especially when you’re running a small business. That’s why, when we need a moment to breathe and reset, this is where we go. Creating a calming space at home, even just a small corner, has become our little retreat from the chaos.

Whispers of the East Gift Box.

 Inspired by soft rituals, gentle scents, and the serene atmosphere of Eastern traditions, this thoughtfully curated box is your invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and create a Zen space that feels like an exhale.



What is a Zen Corner?

It’s your personal sanctuary. A quiet nook in your home where clutter and chaos can’t reach you. Whether it’s a corner of your bedroom, a sun-drenched spot by the window, or even a shelf with intention, your Zen corner is all about calm.


How to Build Your Zen Space

Pick a spot that feels good - away from screens, clutter, and noise. Natural light is a bonus, but candlelight works magic too.

Layer in comfort - Add a cushion, a soft throw, maybe even a low stool or floor mat. This is a space where you should feel safe and held.

Add elements from the box - we wash our hands with the  Soap—simple, soothing, and the perfect way to signal a shift from busy to calm. Then get to spritzing a little Honeysuckle Heaven room spray—instantly lifting the mood with its sweet, floral notes that feel like a breath of fresh air.

The soft green hue of the eco-resin Buddha adds to the calm—green is known for its soothing, grounding energy, making it the perfect colour to help quiet the mind and invite balance into your space.

And finally we reach for our butterfly wax melts—perfect for those days when we have more than five minutes to truly unwind. The butterfly is a symbol of transformation and gentle change, reminding us that even small pauses can bring about beautiful shifts in our mood and mindset.


Taking time for yourself isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. Even just a few mindful minutes in a space that feels calm and intentional can reset your whole day. Whether it’s the flicker of a candle, the soft scent of honeysuckle, or the quiet presence of a little green Buddha, your Zen corner is a reminder that you deserve peace, presence, and a moment that’s just for you. So go ahead—light the melt, take a breath, and let the world wait.

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...
