Our most loved offerings of 2025 — thoughtfully handcrafted, non-toxic, and plant-powered — brought together in one place.

This collection features the soaps, candles, and everyday botanical essentials our community returned to again and again throughout the year. Chosen, reordered, and shared, these are the pieces that naturally rose to the top through real use.

Each product is made in small batches on Vancouver Island using carefully sourced ingredients, custom coastal scent blends, and time-honoured making methods. From nourishing cold-process soaps to slow-burning candles and grounding home and body goods, these offerings have earned their place by being used — not by following trends.

Whether you’re discovering The Hobbyist for the first time or coming back for familiar staples, this collection reflects what continues to anchor our work, year after year.
