Coffee Collaboration

Coffee lovers, we’ve got the collab of your dreams!

We’ve teamed up with our friends (& top coffee & doughnut extraordinaires!) at Deep North to bring you the most delicious mochachino candle. With notes of fresh ground coffee, cocoa & just a hint of vanilla. 

Deep North is a coffee shop in Tynemouth which is a small town 9 miles East of Newcastle upon Tyne. It is a surfer’s paradise with it’s beautiful long sandy beach and a vibrant high street on weekends filled with dog walkers, joggers and day trippers.

We’ve been asked many times to do a coffee-scented candle, so teaming up with Deep North seemed like the perfect match. Deep North provide the coffee grounds which helps create a unique scent and you know how much we love reusing to reduce our impact on the environment.

We’re using their leftover Allpress coffee grounds, alongside our vegan soy wax & recycled glass jars to give you the most sustainable candle yet!

The Michaccinno is available exclusively from Deep North’s shop own Front Street Tynemouth, as well as any markets they feature at.

We’re the 1st candle company to be 100% carbon neutral in the North East of England…

…and we’re absolutely over the moon!

From the very beginning I’ve always tried to minimise the impact of Hot Wax Newcastle on the environment, but I always thought there must be more we can do, so after tonnes of research and late nights, I’ve taken it a step further and I’m so proud to announce that I’ve partnered with Carbon Neutral Britain to offset our carbon emissions and make Hot Wax Newcastle 100% carbon neutral.

Each month I will plant 30 trees, as well as offset 5 tonnes of CO²e – reversing our climate impact. How ace is that? So next time you buy one of my candles, know that you’re not only supporting a small business but one who is doing their very best to look after our planet – it’s the only home we have!

To celebrate, I’m offering 20% off site wide* using code co2 until Sunday 27 November.

Love, Ash xoxo

*Excluding sale items

42% of consumers say that the environmental impact of a brand influences their decision to buy from them. We’d hazard a guess that that figure sits higher with you folks, who are rightly holding companies to account for their impact and looking to support brands who take responsibility.

Festive Social – You Are Invited!

I’m so excited for you to join me for my first Hot Wax Festive Social here at our studio in Newcastle.

It’s only 2 weeks until my first ever Hot Wax Social and I’m so excited for you to join me in the Common Room at my studio in Newcastle.

 Come along on Saturday 12 November from 12-4pm for an afternoon of festivities including fizz, mulled wine, mince pies & hot drinks, not to mention all the candles you could possibly dream of!

 There will also be exclusive discounts which won’t be offered anywhere else. This is the perfect chance to sample our Christmas scents in a chilled environment, away from the hustle & bustle of the markets.

In addition to this, we’ve teamed up with the brilliant Rebecca Writes who will have her amazing baubles on sale too – just in time for popping the tree up!

You will also get the chance to visit our working studio & see where the magic happens!

There will be a FREE GOODIE BAG if you RSVP here – limited to the first 50 attendants so be quick (and they’re going fast!). 

I can’t wait to see you!

Love, Ash xoxo

Ps – I’ll be the one in sequins!

Feature In The Local Press

We’ve had a little mention in the Evening Chronicle – I spoke to them at Newcastle Vegan Market at the weekend…

It was great chatting about our Vegan ethics and showcasing our scented candles to the vegans of Newcastle and beyond.

Ash Tate runs Hot Wax, a company which sells vegan candles. The 35-year-old, from WhickhamGateshead, was selling her products at the market. She said: “Everything is completely vegan, we use soy wax. 

“I think people are trying to be more cautious of what’s going on around them. We get a good number of non-vegans buying products as well.”
