Let your message shine

No box full of stuff this year. One message that stays.

A candle with your message, engraved in metal and hidden in the wax. Invisible when unwrapped. As the candle burns, the message slowly appears, at every employee’s home. Handmade in the Netherlands, from 10 pieces.

They remember the box. Not what was in it.

Ask anyone what was in last year’s Christmas gift box and it goes quiet. Not because the budget was too low, but because nothing about it was personal. A gift box says: we ordered something. An engraved message says: we thought of you. That difference is what people remember.

How it works

Step 1: you choose a scent.

Step 2: we engrave your message.

Step 3: it appears at everyone’s home.

Step 1: One company message for the whole team, for example “Thanks for this year”. Two lines, up to 22 characters per line. We’re happy to think along.
Step 2: No print and no note, but a real engraving in a metal disc hidden in the wax.
Step 3: As the candle burns, the message slowly reveals itself. And when the candle is finished, the engraved disc remains as a keepsake.

Example messages for teams

Warm thanks: Thanks for this year / Happy holidays
Personal: You make a difference / Thank you!
With a wink: What a year. / On to 2027!
With a sender: Happy holidays / from team [company]

Your own message? Anything goes, as long as it fits in two lines of 22 characters. We’re happy to help.

Handmade, by one maker

GlowNote is not a factory. Every candle is hand-poured and finished in my workshop in the Netherlands. Customers rate us 4.9. Precisely because it’s handmade, we take on a limited number of business orders this season. That way the quality stays exactly what our customers are used to.

One price per candle, everything included

Every candle is one from our regular collection: 125 grams of soy wax, around 20 hours of burn time, your choice of nine scents (including unscented), packed in a matte metal tin in a premium tube. Your message is engraved and built into every candle of the order.

GlowNotes are available from €27.00 each (€22.31 excl. VAT):

Delivered in one shipment to your address. Shipping costs and delivery times outside the Netherlands are confirmed in your quote. Delivery to each employee’s home is available as a custom option, just ask in your quote request. A different message per person (for example with a name) is possible for smaller quantities, at an additional cost. You simply receive an invoice.

For larger quantities we’ll make a tailored proposal.

Everything is hand-poured. Once we’re full, we’re full, so don’t wait until November. Request your quote in time and your spot is secured.

Frequently asked questions

The engraved message appears within the first two hours of burning. The longer the candle burns, the clearer it becomes. After around 20 hours of burning, the engraved disc remains as a keepsake.

Two lines of up to 22 characters, spaces included. Enough for “Thanks for this year” and “Happy holidays”. We’re happy to help find a message that fits.

Yes, it can. Your logo can be engraved in the disc, and it can also go on the label of the packaging. Our advice: combine it with a personal message, because that’s what makes the biggest impression at home. Mention it in your quote request and we’ll include it in the proposal.

Yes, for smaller quantities each candle can have a different message, for example with the employee’s name. This is custom work at an additional cost, mention it in your quote request.
