Handmade by Houchin was born during the early days of the COVID-19 lockdown. Like many others, Dave found himself with some unexpected free time and decided to explore a new hobby: candle making. What started as a lockdown project quickly blossomed into a passion.

Months were spent experimenting, testing different waxes, and blending unique fragrance combinations. Friends and family became enthusiastic guinea pigs, providing invaluable feedback along the way.

Finally, in 2021, Handmade by Houchin officially launched. We are a small family-run business based in the UK, dedicated to crafting high-quality, hand-poured candles and other home fragrance products.

Dave's family has been instrumental in the growth of Handmade by Houchin. Including his sister, Carole who many of you will have met at local craft fairs (or hopefully will meet soon!)

At the heart of Handmade by Houchin lies a commitment to sustainability and ethical practices. All our products are meticulously handmade in the UK using only the finest ingredients, including our signature EcoSoya Wax – sustainable, vegan-friendly, and biodegradable.

We believe in creating long-lasting products that provide a clean burn and fill your home with delightful aromas. Our range features a variety of exciting and enriching fragrances, carefully selected to suit every taste and preference.

Our entire range is available to buy online with free collection from Cheshunt, Hertfordshire and Drinkstone, Suffolk
