Sandwick Bay Candle Box | Staff Review
The Sandwick Bay Candle Box is a monthly subscription for people looking to add a little light and fragrance to their life! Each month, subscribers can look forward to a beautiful, 100% natural soy candle to brighten their home. This week, Claire, our lovely Head of Ops and mood lighting champion 'illuminates' us with what you can look forward to every month.
Claire's Sandwick Bay Candle Box in its original packaging...
Handmade in the Outer Hebrides, the moment you open the box, it's clear that these candles are made with love and care - from the way it's delicately packaged to the environmentally-friendly ingredients and the gorgeous, alluring scent it effuses. The quality in the presentation would make this a perfect gift for both friends, family or perhaps just as a little self-indulgence for yourself each month.
When I received my first Sandwick Bay Candle Box, it is evident that it had been wrapped with care and thought. Mine came in a simple, yet stylish box with a thoughtful note from the owner - such an unexpected, yet lovely touch. The box also contained a couple of cute little badges, again, a sweet little extra touch which was lovely and entirely unexpected - surprise and delight!

Claire's lit Guava & Lychee 100% Natural Soy Wax Candle...
The main thing which struck me when I opened the box, however, was just how gorgeous the candle smelt. It was guava and lychee-scented (although each month's candle is a different flavour), and smelt good enough to eat - just stunning!
I'm allergic to a lot of chemically-scented products, and I was a little worried that I'd be sneezing in no time but I didn't have any issue with this. I can only presume that this is because it's made with all-natural soy ingredients and doesn't use the typical petroleum-based paraffin (i.e. no toxins, carcinogens or pollutants). Another win!
The candle itself is encased within a glass jar, which is both modern and quirky and looks great in my kitchen. Even when it isn't lit, it always keeps the room smelling great, in fact, several of my friends have commented on it. I've used the candle both indoors and outside during the warm evenings, and because it's in a glass jar, the flame never goes out!

The badges included within this month's Sandwick Bay Candle Box...
With regards to its longevity, I was impressed with just how long the candle lasted, I lit mine every night for weeks, and it was still going strong. Usually, with a beautiful candle, I always want to save it and don't light it as often as I'd like to. But as a new candle comes every month, there's no such worry here - light it up and enjoy it until a new one arrives the following month!
Cost-wise, it's £22 per box on the monthly subscription, or £17.22 per box if you're happy to commit to an annual subscription - a substantial monthly saving! Admittedly, you can probably buy candles cheaper elsewhere, but nine times out of ten they'll be cheap, petroleum-based paraffin ones (the type that gives off petrol-carbon soot), so you won't get the cleaner burn that comes with soy wax. What's more, soy wax candles typically last 30-50% longer than a paraffin candle does - win, win.
To summarise, I loved this month's box and candle (plus the previous three for that matter), it was beautifully-packaged, environmentally-friendly and smelt glorious. You'll be hard pushed to find anything as lovely and individual as this. Worth every penny!"
