Just in time for Valentine’s Day, our Incubator was filled with warm light and sweet scents for a special week-long candle refill pop-up. Part celebration, part sustainable making experience, this drop-in event invited people to give their old jars a new lease on life by refilling them with custom-scented wax and carefully selected wicks.

Whether it was a gift for someone else or a treat for yourself, the focus was on thoughtful reuse and sensory delight. Visitors could choose from a wide range of scent blends, from cosy spices to calming florals, and craft candles that were as unique as their containers.

The experience was self-guided with helpful instructions at each station. Candles cured overnight and could be picked up the next day, or sent by post. Extra jars were available for those who came empty-handed.

This pop-up was a perfect example of the kind of creative, community-driven initiatives supported through the LiVS Incubator. It brought together sustainability, self-care, and a little handmade charm during a season all about connection.
