A Rather Splendid Send-Off for the Graduate in Your Life
Right, so someone's actually finished university. Marvellous. They've earned themselves a proper celebration, and this cheeky candle is precisely the sort of thing that makes people laugh whilst secretly feeling rather touched. The label reads 'Hello Graduate, Now Welcome to the Real World' in our signature bold red font on pale pink, which is either encouragement or a gentle warning depending on one's outlook.
Why Choose Our Graduation Candle
Hand Poured in Manchester: Each candle is crafted to order in our workshop by actual humans who quite enjoy what they do, filled with natural soy wax that burns rather beautifully and cleanly.
Your Scent, Your Way: Before we package it up, you'll choose the fragrance. Premium fragrance oil, mind you, not the sort that smells vaguely of sadness and regret.
Utterly Fetching Packaging: Everything arrives in 100 percent recyclable packaging, because we're not monsters.
Product Details
Materials: Natural soy wax and premium fragrance oil in a quality glass vessel.
Personalisation: Select your preferred scent at checkout.
Presentation: Hand wrapped and ready to gift to someone who's about to discover that the real world is mostly admin.
This is the sort of gift that actually gets displayed on a shelf rather than shoved in the back of a cupboard. Rather good for that, really.
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
Everything's properly encrypted and secure - your details are safer than the Crown Jewels!
All prices in lovely British pounds £ GBP, though international chaps will see converted prices.
Any payment pickle? We're here to help sort things out! Contact us
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.
