Made for Winter Fiction

Outside, everything has gone white and still. Winterbourne brings the hush of a frozen forest into your room, crisp and cold and miles from anyone, with pine and fir balsam sharp in the air. For winter fiction at its most unforgiving: cabins cut off by the drifts, footprints that stop at the treeline, and villages where nobody leaves until the thaw.

Wolf Winter

Wolf Winter

by Cecilia Ekbäck (2015)

Swedish Lapland, 1717. A settler family arrives beneath the mountain Blackåsen just before the cruellest winter in memory, and within weeks the young daughter finds a neighbour’s body in the snow. The officials blame a wolf, but her mother is far from convinced, and the closer she looks, the less the isolated community wants her asking questions.

To the Bright Edge of the World

To the Bright Edge of the World

by Eowyn Ivey (2016)

Alaska, 1885. Lieutenant Colonel Allen Forrester leads a small expedition up an uncharted river into frozen wilderness, while his wife Sophie waits behind at Vancouver Barracks. Told through their diaries and letters, it follows both of them through a winter where the old myths of the land feel startlingly close.

The Winter People

The Winter People

by Jennifer McMahon (2014)

In West Hall, Vermont, nineteen-year-old Ruthie lives off the grid with her mother and little sister in an old farmhouse at the edge of the woods. When her mother vanishes one winter night, Ruthie finds a diary hidden beneath the floorboards, written in 1908 by the woman who lived there before them and died in strange circumstances.

Pine Needles: Crushed underfoot on a frozen trail, they give off a sharp, green freshness with a clean, bracing bite.

Cypress: Dry, aromatic and faintly herbal, cypress brings the woody breath of tall evergreens standing motionless in the snow.

Fir Balsam: Sticky resin from a freshly felled tree, green and balsamic, with the dense, deep-forest scent of woods cut off by the drifts.

Cedarwood: The quiet base of the blend, a dry, pencil-shaving wood that holds steady like the timber walls of a remote cabin.

Your Questions Answered

local_shipping How long does shipping take?
expand_more

We ship between 1 and 3 business days, though some orders are shipped on the same day depending on when the order was placed. We use Royal Mail 48 Tracked, which means that after an order is received by Royal Mail, it should reach your home within 48 hours. Please note that during busier periods of the year, these delivery times may differ slightly.

chat_error I have a missing or incorrect wax melt in my package. What should I do?
expand_more

While we strive for 100% accuracy, we are human and mistakes can occasionally happen! If you find a scent is missing or you’ve received the wrong bar, please contact us at info@waxandwords.co.uk with your order number and a photo of the items that arrived. We will prioritise getting the correct melts sent out to you immediately.

local_florist Are your wax melts vegan-friendly and cruelty-free?
expand_more

Yes. Our wax melts are crafted using plant-based coconut wax, which is sustainable, biodegradable, and vegan-friendly. We also ensure that none of our ingredients, including our fragrance oils, are ever tested on animals.

mop How do I remove the old wax from my burner?
expand_more

The cleanest way to swap scents is to wait until the wax has completely cooled and hardened. Light your tealight (or turn on your electric warmer) for about 30 seconds - just long enough to loosen the base. The solid disc should slide out easily. Simply wipe the well with a paper towel to remove any remaining residue before adding a new scent.

PRO TIP: Use wax melt liners or silicone trays. This is the easiest way: once the melt is solidified inside the liner or tray, simply pop it out and discard. You can even use the old wax as a fire starter for your fireplace or fire pit!

emergency_heat Why is there "smoke" coming from my wax?
expand_more

In most cases, this is not smoke but fragrance vapour. When the oil is heated, it evaporates to release the aroma into the room. If the vapour is white and wispy, it is perfectly normal. However, if you see dark smoke, it may be a sign that your tealight is too large or the burner is getting too hot.

pets Can I use these melts around pets?
expand_more

While our wax melts are safe for general home use, it is important to ensure the room is well-ventilated. Some pets can be sensitive to certain strong fragrances or specific essential oils. We recommend keeping burners out of reach of curious paws and observing your pet for any signs of discomfort when trying a new scent.

healing Why is the bottom of a wax melt cube uneven?
expand_more

An uneven or slightly bumpy base is actually proof that we use natural coconut wax. These "imperfections" are purely aesthetic and occur due to micro-variations in temperature while the wax is cooling, during storage, or even whilst being shipped to your home. It has absolutely no impact on the quality or the incredible scent throw of the melt.

balance Why do some cubes have a slight difference in weight?
expand_more

Each cube is hand-poured, so slight variations in wax weight are completely normal. The important part is the fragrance oil, which is measured using 0.001g precision scales and is always exactly the same. A tiny difference in wax has no impact on scent throw.
