New Accessories for the Candle Obsessed (and the Cursed)
June 2025 | by Hex and Wax Candle Co.
We’ve conjured up something new for your candle rituals — tools as beautiful as they are essential. Meet the latest additions to our haunted lineup: gothic wick trimmers in matte black and gold, and black-tipped safety matches sealed in wax-dipped glass vials.
Whether you’re performing your nightly unwind or summoning a cozier kind of darkness, these new accessories were designed to enhance the full Hex and Wax experience.
The Ritual of the Wick Trim
Let’s start with a candle care tip we swear by: always trim your wick. If your candle won’t stay lit, the culprit is usually charred, untrimmed wood. Before every burn, your wick should be no longer than 1/4".
To make the ritual easy and elegant, we created our own Wick Trimmers — crafted from durable stainless steel, with a precise angled design to reach even deep-set wicks. Choose between haunting matte black or gleaming gold to match your candle altar’s aesthetic.
Matches Made for the Macabre
There’s something undeniably satisfying about striking a match. Our new Black Safety Matches are designed to complete your candle setup — functional, yes, but also something darkly lovely to display on your shelf or altar.
Each glass vial holds over 40 black-tipped wooden matches. Topped with a cork and sealed in signature black wax, they feature a hidden striker on the base. These vials are both eerie and elegant — the perfect companion to your gothic candle collection.
These accessories aren’t just tools — they’re part of the ritual. The care, the strike, the flicker — it all adds to the experience we create with every Hex and Wax candle. Whether you're lighting up a tale of haunted love or a cursed garden, now you can do it with a little more style… and a little more shadow.
