When Words Fail, Light the Right One
That dreadfully awkward moment when someone's going through something rather serious and you want desperately to help but suspect you haven't the faintest idea what they're actually experiencing. This splendid candle does the heavy lifting for you. It reads: 'I can't imagine how hard this is, but I'm pretending that I can' and says everything you're probably thinking anyway.
Why Choose Our Thinking of You Candle
Honest, Witty Sentiment: Forget the saccharine sympathy cards. This is genuine, self-aware, and rather marvellous for anyone who appreciates a bit of humour during tough times.
Fabulously Handcrafted: Each candle is hand poured in our Manchester workshop using natural soy wax and premium fragrance oil. Properly made, in other words, not churned out by some faceless factory.
Scent of Your Choosing: Select your fragrance before we pour it. Whether you fancy something soothing, energising, or just gorgeously inoffensive, it's your call.
100 Percent Recyclable Packaging: The whole thing arrives beautifully packaged in materials you won't feel guilty about binning. Or better yet, recycling.
Product Details
Wax Composition: Natural soy wax blend.
Fragrance: Premium fragrance oil in your chosen scent.
Creation: Hand poured and hand packaged.
Packaging: 100 percent recyclable.
This is the sort of gift that says 'I'm thinking of you' without requiring you to actually articulate how ghastly everything must be. Rather good, that.
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.
