Ember Returns

Every candle we make starts with honest materials — and when the last of the wax is gone, those materials still have value. Ember Returns is our program for giving jars and lids a second life. Bring them back to us at a market or event, and we'll put them back to work. In exchange, you'll take something off the price of your next one.

The Idea Behind It

We source every jar and every lid with intention. The black matte glass is heavy and considered. The red oak lids are cut, sanded, and finished by hand. When a candle burns down, those vessels don't have to end up in a landfill — they can be cleaned, refinished, and poured again. Ember Returns is our way of closing that loop. It keeps materials in the cycle, reduces what we have to source new, and lets us pass a little of that back to you as a thank-you for bringing them home.

A well-made object deserves a second life. Ember Returns is how we make that happen.

How it Works

When your candle is finished, clean the jar and lid before bringing them back. Remove all remaining wax and residue — warm water and a paper towel usually does it. Returns that aren't clean or are in poor condition can't be accepted, but we'll always let you know on the spot with no awkwardness.

Once you've got a clean vessel, bring it back next time you see us at a farmer's market or pop-up. Hand it over at the table — no forms, no shipping, no hassle. We'll check it on the spot and hand you a discount to put toward anything at the market that day, or save it for a future visit.
