🌲 ONE CANDLE. ONE TREE.
September 28th is Plant a Tree Day, One Tree Planted’s annual global moment for action, awareness, and impact.

What began in 2018 with more than 7,000 trees and shrubs planted has grown into a worldwide movement for reforestation—and we’re proud to play a small part in helping that impact continue.

At Wax Apothecary, our connection to plants goes far beyond the botanicals and natural ingredients that inspire what we make.

For every Wax Apothecary candle purchased retail through our website, we plant one tree through our partnership with One Tree Planted. 🌱

That means when you bring one of our handcrafted botanical candles into your home, you’re also helping put something back into the natural world that inspires us every day.

🕯️ Light a candle.
🌱 Plant a tree.
🌲 Grow something good.

Some gifts are opened once. Others become part of someone’s daily life.

Our 7oz Scotch Glass Candle has earned its place as a customer favorite for a reason — equal parts beautiful, functional, and thoughtfully made. Poured into a classic, reusable scotch glass, it is designed to be enjoyed long after the final burn… the American-made low-ball glass is perfect to be repurposed for evening pours, bedside water, or a timeless keepsake.

Handcrafted with plant-based ingredients and true-to-nature fragrances, it is the kind of gift that feels personal without needing explanation — elevated, versatile, and always appreciated.

Whether you are celebrating a milestone, thanking a host, or simply sending a meaningful surprise, this is the candle shoppers reach for when they want their gift to stand out.
Because the best gifts are not just admired — they are lived with.

✨ A signature favorite for effortless gifting.
