Ignite candles are truly stunning – the level of detail and creativity that goes into each one makes them feel like a piece of art. Not only do they look amazing, but the fragrance is absolutely divin... See more

Written by the company

Ignite Candles wasn’t born in a boardroom or brainstormed over lattes. Nope — it began in bed. Literally. Our founder was a full-time headteacher with a packed schedule and a passion for education — until long COVID brought everything to a screeching halt. Body said “nope,” but the brain said “I’m still here, pal.” With muscles on strike but the mind flickering like a stubborn tealight, something had to give. Enter candle making. What began as a way to keep the mind glowing during recovery quickly turned into a full-blown wax addiction. Scents were tested. Wicks were wicked. The kitchen looked like a waxy crime scene. But slowly, through trial, error, and singed eyebrows, the flame of a new purpose was lit. Fast forward a few years and a big move from Yorkshire to Hartlepool, and we opened our first shop in September 2024. Not just any shop — a dream fully melted and poured into reality. Along the way, we even convinced mum to move up from Wales and join the madness. Now we’re proudly a family-run business, powered by love, caffeine, and dangerously strong opinions about fragrance notes. Thanks to a game-changing innovation grant (and a whole lot of graft), Ignite Candles is now in full glow. We’re proof that even when life blows out your flame, you can relight it — preferably with something that smells like rhubarb & custard or “freshly baked nostalgia.” So if you’re into weirdly wonderful scents, lovingly hand-poured chaos, and candles with character — you’re in the right place.

When candles look too good to light and you get the beautiful smell even before lighting you know you've chosen well. When you do light them they burn nice and slowly so you certainly get your moneys worth too. This business is going from strength to strength and you can see why with the work that goes into each candle, and the customer service is second to none. I wouldn't buy from anywhere else x

Amazing candles! Highly recommended

Iv been ordering from ignite candles for just over two years now and I keep ordering more. I was immediately impressed with the quality, appearance and long lasting scent. I couldn’t believe the detail that went into my orders. Iv ordered candles for myself and gifts for others, and I absolutely love them.
Always on the look out for new candles and wax melts and wouldn’t go anywhere else !

Best candles around!

Always bought and spent a fortune on candles from supermarkets until I found ignite candles! They are on another level! Smell and look amazing, I’m obsessed! You can see the love and care put into each individual one, the best part is… if you can’t find the scent you want, a quick chat to the fabulous Craig and he will do his best to accommodate. We’ve had a few candle parties also with ignite candles for different occasions and everyone has left amazed and always looking forward to booking again. Prices are very reasonable for the products you get! My number one candle supplier! Keep doing what you do best!

I discovered Ignite Candles at my son school fayre!

I've always been a candle lover so purchased a small selection and loved listening to the story behind how they evolved. Almost immediately I signed up for their monthly candle club subscription. I've never been disappointed and regularly stick ad-hoc specials on my order, the biggest one being when my son moved up from the school and they produced gifts for a load of teachers. I also ordered a couple of gift packages they did for breast cancer research for a close colleague. The subscription parcel is a highlight of my month, something special just for me, a surprise package that never disappoints and fab value for money. Rhubarb and custard is my ultimate favourite, reminds me of my favourite childhood sweet! The dettol scented one was hilarious but can only burn it for 20 minutes at a time ha!! Took it to work for some giggles and it did not disappoint! I love watching you grow your passion

One Happy Customer

Received my soy based candle, which was very well packaged. The smell upon opening was stunning as was the candle. I would highly recommend and use Ignite Candles for any future purchases.

The hardest part is lighting the beautiful creations

I’ve used ignite candles since the beginning of their journey. The hardest part is lighting such a beautiful creation.
The service has always been personal from ordering from a wide range of ready made natural candles in quirky designs to personalising fragrances and choosing the containers
The dedication to customer service is outstanding from choosing scents to making candles in personal interest. It’s clear customer satisfaction is important, as is a dedication to supporting the environment. No request is too small.
My friends and I have ordered many times and always had so many lovely comments.

Very friendly service and fast delivery. The products are fantastic value for money with a range reflecting trends and seasonal staples.
The scents are long lasting and come in a variety of flavours to suit the mood. I have bought multiple items from Ignite and haven't been disappointed with any. Would definitely recommend buying from ignite candles.

Candles in art form ❤️

I've had some beautiful candles from here, both in design and smell, they smell too good to burn sometimes haha. In fact I've purposely not burnt some as you smell it when you walk into a room before lighting it.

I've tried a variety of shapes and design, colours and flavours, they burn beautifully and have a slower burn than your typical candles which is great for the pennies!!

They are true artwork and look great around the house. Due to move house soon, and can't wait to get a collective that suits our new home!!

In fact one delivery I had, the delivery driver smashed them and upon contact with Craig & Donna to assist, with no hesitation they sorted it for me. A service that's gone above and beyond!

Absolutely beautiful candles with an amazing scent. My house always smells divine when burning them. Nothing is never to much for this family business. I love the subscription box that arrives each month trying out new fragrances

Ignite never fails!

Have always had such an amazing experience with Ignite! I’ve ordered candles for gifts and for personal use and every time I’m amazed by the craftsmanship, the scents and the customer service. Craig has even converted my partner to being a candle lover!

I've had candles from ignite for quite some time now and I keep ordering more! They are absolutely gorgeous! There are so many creative designs to choose from and the scent they give off (even when not lit) is one of a kind. There are some scents that make your mouth water they are absolutely 'yummy'. I've been a fan of candles for years and I now pick Ignite over the bigger brands such as Yankee and Woodwick! Not to mention the money I've saved by changing brands! Give them a try you honestly won't regret it. Delivery is super quick and the company are always super friendly to deal with! 😊

What can I say about ignite candles

What can I say about ignite candles. Just wow. I first met Craig after booking a candle party at home had no idea what to expect but was looking for something different from the normal girls nite out. I have never laughed so much in one nite as we did that nite. Craig was absolutely brilliant from start to finish teaching us how to make our own candles and talking us through every step of the process. The end result were amazing smelling gorgeous and really great quality. I have been buying candles now for well over a year and never disappointed. The quality, communication and service is amazing.
If you are looking for something special or wanting to have a girls nite in with a difference I would highly recommend ignite candles . If I could give more stars I would ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
