Definitely! You get to choose how often your box ships. Once you’ve picked a box. In the ‘deliver every’ dropdown box you can select 1, 2 or 3 months. That way you have the control on when your box arrives. Once you make your purchase, if you think you want to change the intervals, to more or less, you can do that too.

Let’s face it. After the age of 21, unless it's a birthday, anniversary or Christmas the time for gift giving is OVER. If we don't treat ourselves to something nice, who will? We were sick of just getting junk mail turn up at our door and wanted a little surprise to look forward to each month. Subscription Boxes are pretty much the only way you can buy yourself a gift and be surprised when you open the box!
Here at Club Candle we believe everybody should be celebrated for everything that they do, whether it’s your friends, co-workers, family or yourself. We have taken our love of candles and gift giving to the next level, and we like to go above and beyond to make you feel special. With a little package turning up each month it’s always a nice treat to yourself or someone special, with a surprise hand made just for you. 

Our candle box arrives with NO receipt. Each candle is wrapped in our custom Club Candle tissue paper. There will be our signature Club Candle Card which has information about the candle scent and a little BTS. The is a spot on the product page where you can choose to add a personalised message. Our team handwrites this so make sure you add your message in if you want it included in your first box.

We want to make sure each month is a new experience for you. If we always sent out the same container or picked similar fragrances, you wouldn’t get the same excitement of opening something that you have no idea what’s inside. We always pick new candle containers and different fragrances, so you get a bit of everything. 

You may be a lover of sweet-scented candles or you might hate them. It’s nice to have a bit of an option, even though it's still a total surprise what you get.
In the beginning, we had a few different fragrance families to choose from on the website. We found that these 2 types seemed to be the most popular. Sweet & Fruity / Fresh & Earthy So, we created the 2 different boxes. Now don't get scared, we don't use both sweet and fruity scents in one candle - can you imagine a watermelon butterscotch candle?!?! Here's an example of some of the scents we use in these 2 different boxes

Please reach out to us if you keep getting candles that you don't like and we can take a look at your subscription. After all these years and all these candles, we have only had a few people that have said that we just got it wrong. We were happy to swap the candle for them, and they have been a happy customer ever since.
Unfortunately, you can only use one code per transaction.

Woo hoo for us if we do!!!

If this happens, we will pick one of our favourite past boxes just for you.

The first time you light your new candle let the wax melt right to the edge!   By blowing out your candle before the wax has melted all the way to the edge on your first burn, you will get a tunnelling effect. This is where a candle will burn down the centre, leaving a hard rim of wax around the edge and the result - your candle won’t burn for as long as it should.
Trim your wick to about ¼ inch or about 6mm long before each and every burn. Remove any debris from the top of the wax, this ensures an even burn and you won’t have a mess of old charred wick in your melting wax. 
Smoking candle or the black soot build up around the rim of the vessel can be caused by a wick that’s too long or a candle that has been burning for longer than 3-4 hours. If your candle is smoking, extinguish and trim the wick. If your candle has black soot build up, extinguish and wait till the wax has gone hard. Using a baby wipe or damp paper towel, wipe the inside rim of the glass to remove any soot build up and leave your candle looking as good as new.
We recommend that once the candle has about ½ inch of wax left in the bottom, that’s a good time to retire that candle and light up your next one.
When your candle gets low, and the wax has melted to the bottom, pour your wax into the bin. Be very careful not to burn yourself. If you get most of the wax out this way, you can then clean the rest of the melted wax out with a paper towel and then pop out the remaining wick.   If your candle is cold you can cut a cross through the remaining wax and then try warming it up in a saucepan of water on the stove. They should come out in pieces and you won’t need to melt the wax all the way.   Once all the wax and wicks are removed use warm, soapy water to wash out the container. You can re-use your vessel for whatever you'd like. They are perfect in the bathroom to hold bath salts, hair ties, little soaps or cotton buds. In the kitchen for knick-knacks and small items. In the bedroom for jewellery, makeup brushes or accessories, at the entry to hold keys or to keep something safe. At the office for pens and stationery, or plant succulents or cactus to add a bit of green to your space. Of course, the uses are endless! So if you really loved the candle container when you first opened it, you can get even more use from it by re-purposing it for a storage solution at home or the office.
