Visually these hand crafted Soy Wax Candles & Waxes are like nothing I have come across. I had to try! The scent so infused in the package delivered I could smell it in the postman's hands 😊 Extreme... See more

Written by the company

Ignite Candles wasn’t born in a boardroom or brainstormed over lattes. Nope — it began in bed. Literally. Our founder was a full-time headteacher with a packed schedule and a passion for education — until long COVID brought everything to a screeching halt. Body said “nope,” but the brain said “I’m still here, pal.” With muscles on strike but the mind flickering like a stubborn tealight, something had to give. Enter candle making. What began as a way to keep the mind glowing during recovery quickly turned into a full-blown wax addiction. Scents were tested. Wicks were wicked. The kitchen looked like a waxy crime scene. But slowly, through trial, error, and singed eyebrows, the flame of a new purpose was lit. Fast forward a few years and a big move from Yorkshire to Hartlepool, and we opened our first shop in September 2024. Not just any shop — a dream fully melted and poured into reality. Along the way, we even convinced mum to move up from Wales and join the madness. Now we’re proudly a family-run business, powered by love, caffeine, and dangerously strong opinions about fragrance notes. Thanks to a game-changing innovation grant (and a whole lot of graft), Ignite Candles is now in full glow. We’re proof that even when life blows out your flame, you can relight it — preferably with something that smells like rhubarb & custard or “freshly baked nostalgia.” So if you’re into weirdly wonderful scents, lovingly hand-poured chaos, and candles with character — you’re in the right place.

Fantastic wax melts!

Fantastic selection of wax melts!

I was fed up of supermarket-bought wax melts which seemed low quality and poor value. I was amazed at the range of scents available - a highlight being my favourite Zoflora scent!

Really powerful, long-lasting scent - will definitely be back for more!

Beautiful Candles

Having bought many candles from Ignite for presents and for my home, I can highly recommend. They are beautifully designed and they smell gorgous, wouldn't buy any others now.
If your looking for a unique present or for wedding favours/centrepieces or just for the home ..this is the shop to go.
Just love them !!!

I have done 2 candle parties with Craig…

I have done 2 candle parties with Craig and have both been absolutely fantastic. When it comes to my candle orders and random requests for designs he manages to nail it each time. And the scents of each candle are absolutely devine !!

Impeccable service

I’ve had a couple of candles now, for me it’s the beautiful and long lasting fragrance. The range is huge and my best friends Frenchie dog candle was a real hit. Thoughtful packaged, you feel like they were made just for you.

Candle making workshop

I did the candle making workshop with my mam and twin daughters. Was so much fun and we came away with 2 candles that we made, and chose the scents for. Was a lovely afternoon together, really relaxed atmosphere

Bought two Border Collie dog candles…

Bought two Border Collie dog candles this morning, one brown to match our red sable and one grey to match our blue merle. They are absolutely beautiful, Craig has done a fantastic job and the colour match idea was a nice touch.
Would highly recommend Ignite Candles.

High quality, unique and amazing smelling candles

I bought my first ignite candle from Craig early this year and honestly can’t imagine buying my future candles from anyone else. The fragrances as amazing and last so long when lit. Also Craig has so much knowledge when it comes to his products and understanding the process of candle making, which always makes me feel confident when buying his products as you know you are leaving with a high quality product.

Ignite Candles - a special brand

Ignite Candles is such a special brand and I have had the pleasure of experiencing many of the lovely, ‘quirky’ products available. The scents are 100% unique and there are plenty to suit everyone - from woody, earthy scents to fresh and floral fragrances. The candles are beautifully made, plenty of attention to detail and they last a long time. I’ve purchased many for our home and some as gifts to treat someone else.

Outstanding customer service

I have never had a more personalised service, to the point my order was at risk of not arriving in time for my sisters birthday tomorrow it was hand delivered today. Craig and the team really do go the extra mile. It looks and smells fantastic and great value for money. I struggle with thoughtful gifts but since discovering ignite thats a thing of the past. Highly recommend and will be back
