Hello, I’m Melissa Bird, the founder of Bird & Wick.
I’m a proud mum who made the life-changing decision to step away from my career in the NHS to follow a passion that brought something I hadn’t realised I was missing—peace.
Like many people, life was busy, demanding, and often chaotic. I discovered candle making as a creative outlet, and what started as a simple hobby quickly became a source of calm, mindfulness, and joy. Creating beautiful handmade candles, wax melts, and floral arrangements allowed me to slow down, be present, and express my creativity in a way that felt truly fulfilling.
Bird & Wick was born from that journey.
Every candle, wax melt, and floral creation is lovingly handcrafted using 100% pure soy wax and carefully selected, high-quality ingredients. I believe that quality matters, which is why every product is made with care, attention to detail, and premium materials to ensure a beautiful finish and an exceptional fragrance experience.
My hope is that every Bird & Wick creation brings a little warmth, comfort, and tranquillity into your home. Whether you’re lighting a candle after a long day, filling your space with your favourite scent, or gifting someone special, each product is designed to create moments of peace in our often busy lives.
Thank you for supporting my small business. Every order means the world to me and my family, and I’m incredibly grateful you’ve chosen to be part of the Bird & Wick journey. Your support allows me to continue doing what I love—creating beautiful, handcrafted products that I hope you’ll enjoy as much as I enjoy making them.
