  • Yes — as long as it is heat-safe. Glass, ceramic, and metal all work. Old candle jars, thrifted cups, a coupe glass, a trinket dish. If it can hold water without cracking, it can hold sand wax.

  • The Classic size includes 8 cotton wicks (15cm each) for 80+ hours of burn time total. The Discovery size includes 6 shorter wicks for 15+ hours. Each wick burns for approximately 45 hours depending on wick length.

  • add a few drops of your favourite essential oil around the wick area before lighting. Start light — you can always add more after the first burn.
