Pumpkin Mug Candle

Cosy up your home this autumn with our Pumpkin Mug Candle (330g), available in three delightful fragrances. Encased in a charming pumpkin-shaped ceramic mug, this candle not only fills your space with the warm essence of fall but also offers a delightful bonus - once the candle is finished, you can clean the mug with warm, soapy water and repurpose it for your favourite beverages.

Choose from three inviting fragrance blends:

Dark Honey + Tobacco: A luxurious combination of sweet dark honey and smoky tobacco, this scent creates a rich, comforting atmosphere that’s perfect for crisp autumn evenings.

Maple Pecan + Danish: This mouthwatering blend of maple, pecan, and buttery Danish captures the comforting aroma of a fall bakery, bringing warmth and coziness to any room.

Gingerbread: The perfect holiday treat in candle form! This warm and spicy fragrance blends ginger, cinnamon, and molasses to evoke the comforting aroma of freshly baked gingerbread.

The wooden wick adds to the experience with its gentle crackling sound, reminiscent of a crackling fire. Whether you're relaxing after a long day or setting a festive mood for guests, this candle is the perfect touch.

When the candle has burned down, simply clean the mug with warm, soapy water to remove any remaining wax and the wooden wick metal sustainer/holder. Then, enjoy it as your new favourite mug for coffee, tea, or hot chocolate. Our Pumpkin Mug Candle offers not only a seasonal fragrance experience but also a functional keepsake to use all year round.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Trim the Wick Before Each Use: A wood wick needs to be trimmed before every burn. Use a wick trimmer or pinch off the charred top with your fingers, leaving about 1/8 inch of the wick exposed. This helps maintain an even, clean burn and prevents smoking.

Allow a Full Melt Pool on the First Burn: To prevent tunnelling and ensure an even burn, let the candle burn until the entire surface has melted to the edges on the first use. This can take up to 2–3 hours but will allow for a longer-lasting, even burn in the future.

Keep the Candle Away from Drafts: Wood wick candles burn best in a stable environment. Keep them away from drafts, fans, and air conditioners to prevent uneven burning or flickering.

Burn for 2–4 Hours at a Time: For optimal performance, burn your wood wick candle in sessions of 2 to 4 hours. Burning for too long can cause the wick to shift, leading to uneven burning and excess soot.

Store in a Cool, Dry Place: Protect your wood wick candle from direct sunlight and humidity to preserve its scent and quality. Keep the lid on when not in use to prevent dust buildup on the wax.

CUSTOMER QUESTIONS

1. Why does my wood wick candle keep going out?
Wood wicks can go out if they’re too long or if there’s excess charred wood at the tip. Trim the wick to about 1/8 inch and ensure you remove any burned pieces before relighting. A properly trimmed wick is essential for a steady, even burn.

2. How do I trim a wood wick?
Trim the wick to around 1/8 inch before each burn. You can use a wick trimmer or gently break off the charred bits with your fingers. Proper trimming prevents smoking and helps the candle burn cleanly.

3. Why is my wood wick candle smoking or flickering?
Smoke and flickering can occur if the wick is too long or if the candle is in a drafty area. Keep the wick trimmed to 1/8 inch and place the candle in a stable environment away from drafts for the best burn.

4. How long should I burn a wood wick candle for the first time?
On the first burn, let the candle create a full melt pool, which usually takes 2–3 hours. This will prevent tunnelling and ensure an even burn for the life of the candle.

5. Can I relight a wood wick candle right after putting it out?
It’s best to let the candle cool for at least an hour before relighting. This allows the wax and wick to reset, preventing uneven burning or excess smoking.

6. How do I prevent tunnelling in my wood wick candle?
Tunnelling occurs when the wax doesn’t melt to the edges of the container. Prevent this by allowing the first burn to last long enough to create a full melt pool, which helps the candle burn evenly in the future.

7. Are wood wick candles eco-friendly?
Yes, most wood wicks are made from sustainably sourced wood and are a natural alternative to cotton wicks. Additionally, wood wick candles often use soy or coconut wax, which is biodegradable and free from harmful additives.

8. How do I clean soot off my candle jar?
If your candle jar has accumulated soot, use a damp cloth with a bit of mild soap to wipe it off. To prevent future soot buildup, keep your wick trimmed and avoid burning the candle for too long.

9. Do wood wick candles burn faster than regular candles?
Wood wick candles can sometimes burn a bit slower than cotton wick candles if cared for properly. However, burn time also depends on the candle size, type of wax, and how well the wick is maintained.

10. Can I use a candle warmer with my wood wick candle?
Yes, you can use a candle warmer to melt the wax and release fragrance without lighting the wick. However, you won’t get the crackling effect and ambiance that a lit wood wick provides.
