Our most loved offerings of 2025 — thoughtfully handcrafted, non-toxic, plant-powered, and returned to time and time again.

This collection brings together our best‑selling soaps, candles, and everyday botanical essentials — the pieces our community has consistently chosen, reordered, and shared throughout 2025.

Each product is handcrafted in small batches on Vancouver Island using thoughtfully sourced, non‑toxic ingredients, custom coastal scent blends, and time‑honored making methods. From nourishing cold‑process soaps and slow‑burning candles to simple, grounding body and home goods, these are the offerings that have earned their place through daily use — not trends.

If you’re new to The Hobbyist, this page is a great place to start. If you’ve been here a while, you’ll likely spot a few familiar favorites — the staples that continue to anchor our collections year after year.
