Sixteen years, thousands of days and a story that's entirely their own. This personalised 16th Wedding Anniversary candle turns the time a couple has spent together into a thoughtful, one-of-a-kind Wax Anniversary gift, celebrating the little moments and major milestones that make their marriage unique.

The “Our Story in Numbers” label brings sixteen years of marriage to life through a collection of meaningful figures. Personalised with the couple's first names and wedding date, the standard design counts their time together in days, hours, minutes and seconds, finishing with “1 Happy Marriage”. With wax being the traditional symbol of the 16th wedding anniversary, a beautifully scented candle makes a particularly fitting way to mark the occasion.

For a more personal touch, replace up to five of the standard entries with numerical facts from their life together. Think two children, one much-loved dog, four unforgettable holidays or three homes filled with memories. These individual details turn a simple anniversary date into a snapshot of the relationship, capturing the people, places and experiences that mean the most to them.

Whether you're celebrating sixteen years with your husband or wife, surprising your partner with a romantic anniversary present or looking for a thoughtful gift for friends or family, this personalised candle offers something beyond a traditional anniversary keepsake. Hand-poured in the UK by our small business and made to order with their chosen details, it's a lovely way to celebrate the years already shared and everything still to come.

Gift Ready

Each candle is personalised to order and presented in our signature branded gift box. Please check all spelling and dates carefully before submitting your order. 

Every order is gift wrapped as standard and can include a handwritten gift message, making it ideal for sending directly to the recipient. If you would like a free handwritten gift message, this will be found at the checkout. 

Choose from seven carefully selected fragrances to create a gift that's personal to the couple you're celebrating.

Fragrances

Oakmoss + Teakwood: A rich, earthy scent with a calm, grounding feel. Warm teakwood and oakmoss lead into subtle spice and depth, settling into notes of amber, musk and vetiver. 

Champagne + Roses: A light, sparkling floral that feels effortlessly elegant. Bright citrus and orange blossom open into soft rose notes, with a smooth finish of musk and sandalwood.

Tonka + Vanilla: A warm, comforting scent with an indulgent edge. Sweet vanilla and tonka are layered with gentle spice and almond, rounded out with a subtle touch of tobacco flower.

Gardenia + Neroli: A fresh, radiant floral that feels light and uplifting. Orange blossom and grapefruit open into soft white florals, finished with a smooth blend of musk and sandalwood.

Coconut + Lime: A bright, tropical blend that feels fresh and invigorating. Zesty lime and bergamot open into juicy coconut, sugarcane and soft tropical fruit, grounded by a light, earthy touch.

Melon + Cucumber: A fresh, juicy scent that feels crisp and refreshing. Ripe melon and cool cucumber open into soft florals and peach nectar, with a light touch of jasmine and musk.

Basil + Mandarin: A fresh, vibrant scent with a crisp, herbal edge. Citrus and basil are layered with thyme, herbs, and a hint of spice, finishing with soft, cedarwood.

Optional Gift Upgrades

For an extra special touch, you can upgrade your order to our gift set which includes an apothecary bottle of matches and a packet of Coleus seeds. So that once the candle has been enjoyed, the jar can be cleaned and reused to grow the seeds, creating a lasting reminder of the occasion long after the candle has burned.

Or you can choose the gift hamper upgrade which includes all of the above, as well as a relaxing red mandarin bath bomb so they can enjoy a calming bath with their new candle, and a box of wax melts with a stunning green striped scalloped ceramic wax melt burner all in a gift ready hamper.
