About Eli and Things

Based in our cosy home studio along the coastline of South Wales, Eli + Things is an independent brand selling vegan soy wax candles and other sustainable handmade treasures for home decor and gifts. During the pandemic, I had to put my job in the fashion industry on the back burner. I was running an independent fashion label, but with all of the change and uncertainty in the world all of a sudden, I swapped paths in order to do something more meaningful and fulfilling. The idea behind Eli + Things was to spread small bits of joy between people, in the form of the gesture of giving. We hope that our handmade candles and gifts spark joy in all those who receive them and also, in those who gift them. At Eli + Things, all of our items are handmade with love and our candles are made from 100% natural soy wax, which has been made in the UK and is completely vegan friendly and biodegradable. Each candle is lovingly hand poured, so that we can ensure each one has a personal touch from us to you. We hope you find something in our shop that sparks the kind of joy we feel when we make them!
