From delivery times to how long to burn your candle for that first glimpse of the hidden message — we’re here to help.
A hidden message candle carries a text you only see once the candle is burning. With GlowNote that message is engraved in metal and set into the wax. At first you see only the flame. As the wax melts, the message appears and you read the words you chose.
ou choose your own text, or pick one of our ready-made messages. It is engraved in metal and set into the candle. When you light it, the message stays hidden at first. After a while it slowly appears, and reading the text becomes a small, personal moment.
With many cheap versions the text is printed under the top layer of wax, often with a short character limit and only a few hours of burn time. With GlowNote the message is engraved in metal. It stays, even after the candle is gone, so you keep a tangible memento. No note, no separate card, but an engraved keepsake inside the candle itself.
Absolutely. You can select one of our existing GlowNotes — carefully chosen messages that speak to the heart. Or, you can write your own personal message, crafted especially for the person receiving the candle.
Whatever words you choose, they’ll be gently hidden inside the wax — revealed only when the flame begins to do its work.
Depending on the type of candle and the environment (like room temperature), the message usually appears after about 2 to 3 hours of burning time.
The candle itself is designed as a one-time experience — once the wax has melted and the message has been revealed, the moment is complete.
However, the tin can be kept and repurposed. Use it to store little keepsakes, or give it a second life as a holder for something meaningful. That way, the story continues — even after the flame has gone out.

Yes. Every GlowNote is carefully designed with safety in mind.
The hidden message is made from heat-resistant material and placed deep enough within the wax to appear safely, without coming into contact with the flame.
As with any candle: never leave it unattended while burning and always place it on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
For the best experience, let the candle burn for at least one to two hours the first time. This allows the wax to melt evenly and helps the hidden message appear gradually and fully.
Make sure the candle is placed on a stable, heat-resistant surface and never leave it unattended.
You can trim the wick slightly for a calm, clean flame.
