The Coastal Care Package | Coastal Candle, Botanical Soap & Essential Oil Gift Set
A little fresh air, a little forest and a little piece of the coast, wherever you happen to be.
The Coastal Care Package is a thoughtfully curated gift set featuring a hand-poured candle,
botanical soap, pure essential oil blend and handmade ceramic soap dish, bringing together two
independent West Coast makers in one beautiful gift.
Our candles, botanical soaps and essential oil blends are handcrafted in our family-run Tofino
studio, inspired by the forests, beaches and salty air of Vancouver Island. The ceramic soap
dish is handmade by Nicole of Fernly Ceramics, bringing another local maker's craft into the
collection.
Our botanical soaps are made from scratch using plant oils, mineral-rich clays and our own
blends of pure essential oils. Our candles are hand-poured using soy and coconut wax, cotton
wicks and thoughtfully blended fragrances, while our pure essential oil blends bring the familiar
scents of the West Coast into your home.
It's a thoughtful gift for someone who misses Tofino, loves Tofino or simply appreciates beautiful,
useful things made by hand.
Whether you're sending a reminder of a favourite trip, a thank-you to someone special or a care
package just because, this is a lovely way to share a little of the coast from afar.

Meet the Makers
Nicole | Fernly Ceramics
There's a certain kind of beauty in the things we reach for every single day. The mug that holds
our morning coffee, the dish beside the kitchen sink, the little pieces that quietly become part of
our homes. That's what I love about Nicole's work. Through Fernly Ceramics, she creates
pottery by hand here in Tofino, turning something as humble as a lump of clay into something
you'll use, love and hopefully keep for years. Not precious things to tuck away on a shelf, but
thoughtful, handmade pieces that become part of everyday life.
Tam & Family | The Hobbyist
We're a family-run soap and candle studio in Tofino, British Columbia. Everything we make is
inspired in some way by the natural world around us, from the plants and forests to the coastline
we call home. We believe the things we use every day deserve to be made with care, and that making by hand reminds us not everything is meant to be rushed.
Two independent, women-founded and operated West Coast businesses. Four
thoughtfully made essentials. One beautiful way to celebrate the women who make
things by hand.
Please note: Your gift includes one handmade ceramic soap dish in your selected style.
