About
Lighting Up Lives, One Candle at a Time
Welcome to Makester, where we craft more than just candles – we create moments, memories and smiles.
Our Story
Makester was born in a small kitchen in Ringwood, Hampshire, when our founder, Lucy, realised that the perfect gift doesn't exist – unless you make it yourself. Frustrated by generic presents, she set out to create candles that could speak volumes, whether through humour, sentiment or personalisation.
What started as a hobby in 2020 has now grown into a team of 15 passionate candle enthusiasts, all dedicated to bringing light and laughter into homes across the UK.
What Makes Us Unique
Personality in Every Pour: From cheeky dog breed descriptions to zodiac-inspired scents, each Makester candle tells a story.
Handcrafted Quality: Every candle is hand-poured using premium soy wax for a clean, long-lasting burn.
Sustainability at Heart: We're committed to minimising our environmental impact. Our packaging is 100% recyclable.
Laughter and Love: We believe gifts should bring joy. Whether it's a giggle-inducing label or a heartwarming message, we aim to light up faces as well as rooms.
Behind the Scenes
Curious about how we make the magic happen? Each Makester candle goes through a meticulous 6-step process:
1. Wax melting and fragrance mixing 2. Pouring and cooling 3. Wick trimming 4. Quality check 5. Label design and application 6. Packaging with care.
It's a labour of love, but seeing the smiles on our customers' faces makes it all worthwhile.
