Celebrate Your May Birthday in Rather Splendid Style
Right then. We've rather gone and created the perfect gift for the fierce, fabulous person in your life who happens to have been born in May. This hand poured candle arrives with a cheeky message that reads 'The best bitches are born in May' emblazoned across a bold red and pale pink label. It's the sort of thing that makes people smile when they catch sight of it, which we think is rather the point of a proper gift.
Why Choose Our May Birthday Candle
Beautifully Handcrafted: Each candle is hand poured in our Manchester workshop using a signature blend of natural soy wax and premium fragrance oil. We create yours to order with your chosen scent, which feels rather more personal than grabbing something off a shelf.
Thoughtfully Packaged: Your gift arrives in 100 percent recyclable packaging, all wrapped by hand. We think sustainable luxury is rather a good combination.
Your Scent, Your Choice: Select from four gorgeously crafted fragrances, each one designed to set a different mood and feel quite utterly special.
Product Details
Size Options: Available in 20cl (190g) or 30cl (250g), in either soft pink or clear glass containers.
Fragrance Selection: Secret Beach Club combines coconut, pineapple and peach for an invigorating tropical escape. Pink Blossom offers sweet peach and jasmine with amber and vanilla for a serene, joyful mood. Chilled Vibes balances fresh citrus with eucalyptus and calming florals, perfect for those spa day moments. Midnight Queen is an indulgent, alluring blend of jasmine and oud with exotic spices and woody notes that transports you somewhere altogether more adventurous.
Materials: Natural soy wax hand poured with luxury fragrance oil in glass containers.
This rather marvellous gift arrives made to order, which means your May birthday person gets something genuinely special. Rather sooner than later might be wise, as bespoke creations do tend to go quickly.
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.
