about moi...
Thank you for visiting my shop:)
The company name boo is after my pet name for my daughter therefore, each candle is made with love, care and sometimes a little frustration!
After losing my job to COVID, I decided to take on a new challenge and start my own business. I felt somewhat qualified to start making candles after spending over a gazillion pounds on them and thought I’d give it a go!
I wanted to produce an elegant, stylish candle made with quality ingredients that was also toxic free. After much research I decided to launch a luxury natural soy and phthalate free range. Cruelty free and vegan friendly, each one is hand poured in small batches in my candle factory (spare room!) in Caversham, Berkshire.
The candle is in a quality 30cl vessel offering 40 hours + of burn time. The soy wax has a creamy texture that gives it a particularly luxurious feel. Clean and slower burning, the cosy glow adds atmosphere to any room and when you take the lid off... the cold scent throw is one of joy and can fill a room before its even lit!
I have always been creative and I have a huge passion for interior design. I love colour and patterns from every era and get inspiration from the 70s...as you can see!!
My lids are all hand decorated, funky in design and will look fab in any home. I try to marry the smell and name with a pattern so you get the overall package and this time consuming job is my idea of heaven! I spend days trialling and testing to see what works and do ALOT of sanding in the process!
I hope I offer a unique product that certainly can't be called boring! The lids are also great to rest the candle on to protect the surface underneath or as a coaster and the added bonus is you can re-use the jars over and over again for anything you wish.
All candles come with a very cute little boo bag, care card and tag. I also accept bank transfers and offer local collection from Caversham.
Please get in touch if you have any questions.
Love . Katy x
