Hi! I’m Craig, Master Crafter and Owner of Hamish Candles
Welcome to my small, independent business where I specialise in luxurious, fragranced candles crafted with care. All my Candles are made from vegan-friendly soy wax and high-quality, vegan-friendly fragrance oils. My range also features Reed Diffusers, Wax Melts, Room Sprays, and a selection of stylish home accessories.
Hamish Candles started almost by accident while I was growing a beard. The store-bought oils and balms I tried contained chemicals that aggravated my asthma, making me wonder, “Can I make my own?” Determined to find a better solution, I began creating my own oils and balms. Along the way, I experimented with making my own waxes using natural ingredients like beeswax and essential oils. Not only did my beard look and feel amazing, but I felt better too.
That small experiment sparked a big idea: why not use the same passion for natural ingredients to make candles? In 2017, from my home on the Northumberland coast, I poured my first candle — and Hamish Candles was born.
Since then, I’ve continued crafting with the same love for quality and creativity, bringing a little light and luxury to homes everywhere.
Today, we operate from a dedicated studio in rural Northumberland.
