A Rather Splendid Birthday Gift That Actually Gets Used
Look, we'll be honest. Most birthday gifts end up gathering dust on a shelf, looking mildly accusatory. Not this one. This is a candle that arrives in rather fetching red and pink packaging, settles into your favourite person's home, and makes them think of you every time they light it. Which is, frankly, quite the accomplishment.
Why Choose Our August Birthday Candle
Hand Poured with Proper Care: Each candle is made to order in our Manchester workshop using natural soy wax and premium fragrance oil. No mass production nonsense, just genuine craftsmanship.
You Choose the Scent: Because nothing says you've thought this through like letting someone pick their own fragrance. Marvellous, really.
Beautifully Packaged: Hand wrapped in 100 percent recyclable packaging because we're trying to be rather good about that sort of thing.
Choose Your Size and Vessel: Whether they prefer 20cl or 30cl, pink or clear glass, this candle slots perfectly into their space.
Product Details
Container Options: 20cl Pink, 30cl Pink, 20cl Clear, or 30cl Clear
Scent Selections:
Secret Beach Club: Coconut, pineapple, and peach combine for a tropical escape. Utterly transporting.
Pink Blossom: Sweet amber and vanilla base with peach and jasmine on top. Creates the sort of mood you want to linger in.
Chilled Vibes: Fresh citrus and eucalyptus on a calming floral foundation. Think spa day, but at home.
Midnight Queen: An indulgent blend of jasmine and oud with exotic spices on a woody base. For the person who rather enjoys a bit of adventure.
The Bottom Line
This is a birthday gift that proves you've actually considered who they are and what they might enjoy. Hand made, thoughtfully packaged, and genuinely rather good. The sort of present that lingers long after the birthday cake is gone.
SHIPPING + RETURNS
THE RATHER IMPORTANT BITS
This rather lovely piece ships directly from our brand partner - we work with independent brands who are absolutely brilliant and work frightfully hard to create beautiful things.
SHIPPING DESTINATIONS
Now, here's the thing - our wonderful brand partners ship to lots of different places, but not all of them can ship worldwide.
Some are brilliant at international shipping, others prefer to keep things closer to home.
At checkout, you'll see exactly where this particular brand can send your goodies.
We're terribly sorry, but shipping costs do vary rather wildly depending on where you are in the world. The exact figures pop up at checkout - no nasty surprises!
RETURNS
You have 14 days to return items.
Now, we absolutely adore our brand partners - they work incredibly hard and we do try to support them as much as we possibly can. So I'm rather afraid we have to pass the return postage costs back to you. Frightfully sorry about that!
🌍 PLEASE CHOOSE THOUGHTFULLY:
Our wonderful partners put their hearts into everything they make.
Ordering multiple sizes to try at home is rather hard on our planet and makes things jolly difficult for these brilliant independent creators.
When in doubt, do ask us first!
PAYMENT
We're frightfully modern and accept all the usual suspects:
Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Shop Pay
SECURE AS HOUSES

We Have Lots More Like This.........
Hello, we are Sostter....
Sostter began, as all good ideas do, with a lively conversation and a shared sense of frustration. Why had the world of independent design become so serious, so samey, so… beige? Where was the spark, the imagination, the sheer joy of discovering something that made you stop and stare?
We dreamt of a marketplace that celebrated difference — where curious minds could explore a world of independent brands, design-led makers, and thoughtful artisans. A space that felt exciting, human, and beautifully imperfect.
Today, Sostter brings together remarkable people and their creations — from London to Lausanne, Brooklyn to Berlin — uniting makers and discoverers through craftsmanship, creativity, and conscience. Every object tells a story, and every purchase supports an independent brand doing things differently.
This is just the beginning. But enough about us — step inside, explore our world, and see what catches your imagination.
Giving Back
We’re proud to support Sutton Night Watch, a grassroots UK charity making a real difference in the lives of those facing homelessness. Through regular donations of stock, supplies, and essentials, we back their mission to offer warmth, dignity, and practical help to anyone in need — right where it matters most.
