Hey everybody! I hope you had a spooktastic Halloween season and your Autumn is full of spectacular color and yummy foods! As the wheel of the year turns, we have launched our Winter collection to keep your hearthfires burning for the next few months.
For starters, I wanted a nontraditional Winter box this year.

Holly Jolly is the theme of the season, right? But what about after all the hustle and bustle is done? Let me tell you about my family's favorite tradition: we hibernate. January is for staying in, basking in the glow of warm lights, and getting plenty of rest. To that end, Sihaya & Co presents A Midwinter Night's Dream: nine products to help you get clean, moisturized, and well-rested, with a sweet treat or two tossed in!
Featuring:
* A 1.4oz tin of solid perfume from Covencraft. Imbolc: An evocative blend of birch bark, green leaf, willow smoke, and a lilting hint of blackberry. Like a winter’s night around a bonfire with spring waking on the wind.
* A duet of wintry treats from Lumi. Enjoy a 2 oz box of bite sized gingerbread cookies with a 3 oz box of artisan holiday mint hot chocolate.
* A duet of bath and body all-stars from Paintbox Soapworks to keep you clean and moisturized! You will receive a small-sized Flutterbutter facial cleanser and a 1.8 oz of a limited-edition Bookkeeper's Butter hand lotion (to keep those hands smooth while you read in bed, naturally!) This version will contain lavender, ylang ylang, & patchouli essential oils for a soothing experience.
* An 8oz, glittering candle from Sihaya & Company. Apricity: Named for the warmth of sunlight in Wintertime, this blend smells of croissants drizzled with almond creme, then paired with a touch of apricot marmalade.
* Keep your lips smooth and moisturized with an exclusive lip balm by Sihaya & Company! Snowflake Frosting: a blend of marshmallow icing and sweet mint.
* A lavender-stuffed aromatherapy eye pillow to help you achieve deep rest from Two Birds Eco Shop.
* A trio of tarot-themed shower steamers from Sow The Magic. Soul Warmth: one steamer each in peppermint, marshmallow, and rosemary.
As for the Winter Candle Collection, we have some old favorites and new surprises!
*New! Amber Wassail: A luxurious take on the traditional holiday wassail. Spiced wine with mulled apple and orange, warmed with rich amber.
Aurora Borealis: A flurry of sparkling flakes, a serene blanket of white, and snow-blanketed trees reaching towards a magical night sky. Creamy vanilla eggnog kissed with peppermint candy canes and a touch of white woods.
*New! Evenstar: A scent for winter's luminous dusk. Cream swirled with honey and lavender, presented with a posy of last of the year's nightblooming flowers.
Fireside Tales: This scent is in honor of the nearly-forgotten tradition of telling ghost stories around the Yuletide hearth. Crackling boughs of cedar and birch, glowing embers, and the soft spice of saffron.
* New! Ingefær: A jolly concoction of apricot and spiced orange peel, evergreen, roasted sweet nuts, and warm resins.
The Court In Splendour: Glad Tidings from the King! The scent of the Tudor court at Yuletide. A festive blend of bayberry and tart cranberry on a bed of warm balsam and spice.
Northwind Forest: A pristine, snow-capped forest of balsam pine, winter winds, and a hint of frozen apples.
Winter Stars: Vanilla chai with foamed milk, sweetened with brown sugar.
We also have three Triple Layer candles for Winter:
Christmas Market:
Top Layer: Gingerbread lebkuchen cookies dusted with powdered sugar
Middle Layer: Hot spiced cider to warm the hands
Bottom Layer: The lingering scent of sweet pipe tobacco
Woodland Midwinter:
Top Layer: Cedar, thyme, and fallen leaves
Middle Layer: Aromatic roasted chestnuts
Bottom Layer: A wreath of dried apple, pear, orange, cinnamon, and nutmeg
* New! The Holly King:
Top Layer: Rich wildberry mead
Middle Layer: Evergreen pine and fallen apples
Bottom Layer: Smoked cedar and woodland musk
As we head into Winter Market season, I'll probably have an extra surprise or two. More details on those, soon. In the meanwhile, I have a smattering of last-minute Falloween orders to get out the door, and then it's on the All Holly Jolly Time!
Warmly,
Chris
Winter Is Live At Sihaya & Co!
