Wax Melts and Candles

A candle or melt can be an easy gift, but the trick is putting some thought into it. None of those generic ones match up to something unique and personal.

Pippie Melts makes small batches of candles and melts, with themes like ghosts, enchanted woodland, magical folklore and woodland witches. The melts are adorable – shaped like ghosts or cauldrons, runes, frogs and more. You can also get some gorgeous burners to go along with your melts.

Deadly Wicks is another UK-based artisan, making soy wax melts with tonnes of gorgeously gothy themes: poisons, witches, Tarot, and even a ‘Dark Easter’ collection. The packaging has a dark academia vibe and there are so many unique scents to choose from.

Clothing

 Oh, we should mention that Sinister Signs also does clothing. How about an “I’m too goth for this shit” T-shirt? Or a hoodie that says “I have really cool tattoos under here but I’m cold”?
