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 more organised but also full of charm. It’s amazing how something as simple as a used vessel can make everyday routines feel that little bit more special.

There’s something quietly wonderful about always being able to find a pen when you need one.

I needed to write “toilet paper” on the shopping list. Spent an hour looking for a pen.
Couldn't find one. Thought, "I’ll remember."
Went to the shops. Came home… no toilet paper.

That’s when I started keeping mine in the eco resin pot—once the candle has finished, it becomes the perfect little home for everyday essentials.

I've saved the best till last—pop a little succulent or some herbs into the container, and suddenly it’s not just practical, it’s downright adorable.

And if someone’s already admired your candle? Pop in a plant and regift it! It’s thoughtful, sustainable, and gives the pot a second chance to shine.
