A Rather Splendid Holiday Candle That Actually Smells Like Christmas

Right, so we've gone and made a candle that's rather good at doing what candles are supposed to do: smell marvellous and make your home feel festive without requiring you to wear a novelty jumper. Our Merry and Bright is a beautifully crafted blend of crisp Northern Fir, bright Clementine, and warm Clove, housed in a seasonal red vessel with matching lid. Handcrafted in Austin, Texas, and decidedly eco-friendly, this is the sort of thing that transforms a quiet winter evening into something genuinely rather glorious.

Why Choose Our Merry and Bright Candle

Utterly Fetching Fragrance: The scent journey begins with a crisp Northern Fir that feels like a proper breath of fresh winter air, followed by bright, citrusy Clementine that brings genuine joy, and finishes with warm, spicy Clove that grounds the whole affair with festive comfort.
Genuinely Handcrafted: Made with care in Austin, Texas, using eco-conscious methods because we think your home deserves better than mass-produced mediocrity.
Limited Edition Status: Available only for the season, which means once it's gone, it's gone. Rather like a good book or a decent cup of tea.
Fabulously Made for Gifting: The matching lid and seasonal vessel make this a rather showstopper gift that arrives ready to impress without any faffing about.

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.

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.
