candle refills are often wander's longest standing and most popular refill service.

burn through your candles until there is about 1" of wax left in the bottom.

using either a spoon and glass cleaner or soap and warm water, clean out the remaining wax and wick base to avoid a $2 cleaning fee per dirty vessel.

what you need to know:

• the refill price will be half the retail price of your chosen refill scent. please note that candle collection prices vary.
• once you have selected your refill scent, the shop assistant will collect your contact information and payment.
• from there, the candles will be taken to the candle studio to be refilled.
• you will receive a text in about 7 business days to let you know that your new candles are complete and ready to pick up!

reed diffusers are a great way to add scent to a room for months at a time without the extra care that lit candles require.

hold onto the cap that comes on your diffuser bottle and bring it in with you when it's time to refill.

new diffuser reeds are $2 for a set of 8.

be sure to flip your reeds every couple of weeks for a boost of fragrance!
