Have you heard the phrase when you buy from a small independent business someone does a happy dance. Well at the wick and wax company in Stamford that person is Sasha. I met her at a local shopping event in the West Country and I was immediately drawn to her simple and stylish candles displayed with pride and confidence.

I am a candle lover so I purchased a couple of best sellers she recommended, Botanical and Purity.

The candles are beautifully presented in gorgeous high quality tempered glass jars with lids and very high quality boxes, they make a super present.

I do like the candles and they offer pretty decent value when you compare them to some of the much more expensive established brands. You also gets the feels for supporting a female led small independent business.

The burn wasn’t perfect for one of my candles I have to be honest but that wouldn’t bother everyone and when I mentioned this to Sasha she bent over backwards to replace the candle in question.

For the price about £30 for 220g these hand poured eco conscious candles are a great option.

Rockpool, Purity and Botanical are my favourites.
