Your Candle Jar Deserves a Second Life

Your Candle Jar Deserves a Second Life

When your Serendipity candle has burned all the way down and the last flicker fades, you’re left with a beautiful jar that feels too good to throw away. And the good news is, you don’t have to.

Once you’ve finished burning one of our candles, the jar can be easily cleaned out with warm, soapy water. From there, the possibilities are endless. Whether you choose to reuse it for something special or recycle it responsibly, you’re already making a more sustainable choice. 💛

A little extra tip: you can refill all your candle jars at our factory for a fee, so your favorite scent can stick around a little longer.


Creative ways to reuse your Serendipity jar

Here are a few ideas we love:

🌿 Turn it into a planter: great for succulents, herbs or small flowers
🖊️ Organize your desk: use it for pens, clips or small office supplies
🛁 Add style to your bathroom: store cotton pads, q-tips or bath salts
🕯️ Create soft lighting: add a tea light for a gentle glow
🍬 Make a thoughtful gift: fill it with sweets, bath salts or homemade treats
🎨 Get crafty: decorate the jar and use it however you like
🍪 Use it in the kitchen: perfect for spices, sugar or your favorite snacks

Prefer not to reuse it? That’s okay too. Just be sure to recycle the jar properly. It’s a small step with a big impact.


How to clean your candle jar (without the mess)

🧊 Freezer method: place the jar in the freezer for a few hours. The remaining wax should shrink and pop right out
💧 Hot water method: pour hot (not boiling) water into the jar. The wax will float to the top as it melts. Let it cool, remove the wax, and wash the jar with soap

Simple, quick, and ready for a new purpose.


Sustainability meets simplicity

At Serendipity, we believe that a candle should be more than a beautiful scent. It should also be a thoughtful choice, from the ingredients we use to how you enjoy it afterward. Reusing or recycling your jar is a small act that contributes to a kinder, more mindful way of living.

Thanks for helping us make beauty last just a little longer.
