TYWK is celebrating Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday through the end of December with a sitewide 10% off and free shipping offer on orders over $200.
The holiday season can be unnecessarily stressful. Whether you’re shopping to treat yourself, your loved ones, or the random coworker whose name you drew out of the hat in the break room, we hope to make your stop at TYWK easy. We created the following guide to our “December Deals” to ease decision fatigue and help tick off the trickiest wishlists.
Our top five picks only include items in stock. But we’re constantly adding new products to our rotation—so if you can’t find the right item, reach out to our team about doing a custom order.
Oh, and if you’re shopping for a gift-exchanging event like Secret Santa, we recommend placing your order as soon as possible. While our average processing and shipping time is just 3-5 business days, holiday and weather-related postal traffic are causing delays by 7-10 business days.
So, here are our top five December Deals:
“Cactus Flowers” Hand-Poured Candle - $40.50
These hand-poured candles contain everything you love about our artisanal mixtures with an extra boutique flare. The crystalline rocks in the wax give the essence of natural beauty with multiple elements relaxing your senses.
There are many signature TYWK scents to love, but I recommend “Cactus Flowers.” I’d be lying if I said the succulent homage didn’t speak to me as a writer living deep in the heart of Texas. Our winters hardly ever crack below freezing, so I’m okay with welcoming summer-y flora into the rotation of seasonal scents like gingerbread, peppermint, and Christmas tree.
This candle includes obsidian, rainbow moonstone, and moss agate crystal chips which, for the crystal curious, is an ideal combination for finding grounding as you move toward your goals and away from negative energy.
“Midwest is the Best” Coffee Candle - $31.50
Listen, you can take a girl out of the Midwest, but you can’t take the Midwest out of a girl. I may be living in Texas, but I hold the Midwest culture of neighborly kindness dear to my heart. We Midwesterners are used to clinging to anything to keep us warm throughout our bitter winters, especially our warm mugs of joe. These coffee mug candles offer a new cozy comfort.
We care about our people, especially our queer neighbors, which is why TYWK is proud to be a Chicago-based business that supports local nonprofit organizations. I appreciate that the “Midwest is the Best” design also includes a rainbow color scheme that hints at our queer mission.
Just like our crystal infused candles, we can pour just about any fragrance into these campy cups. The rich coffee aroma adds variety to the floral fragrances of other candles and wax melts we have in stock.
Rose Quartz Heart - $21.82
Taking your crystals on the go is a common and effective way to utilize them. While you can carry any of our crystals with you, palm stones are easier to keep track of than the spheres, lighter than the towers, and less likely to snag your pockets than the uncut stones. TYWK offers many great palm stones—but those are not what I’m recommending.
I’m highlighting the heart-shaped stones, which have similar properties to the palm stone cuts stated above. However, I’m enchanted by the heart-shaped cut, especially if you opt for stones associated with affection like rose quartz or pink opal. That being said, rose quartz is a staple to have in your crystal collection, as it is the stone of unconditional love toward yourself and others.
Amethyst Crystal Tower - $40.00
Tower cut crystals keep gorgeous company next to jewelry, plants, and other decorative displays. We pick the amethyst tower because of its dramatic, gradient contrast. It boasts a deep purple at the top, while keeping a clear base that boosts whichever colors it’s nestled between.
If you are a crystal collector, a tower will tie your spread together magnificently. The elongated shape concentrates the crystal’s energy more directly than circular or uncut shapes. While rose quartz is a popular choice for towers, amethyst’s healing properties broadly engage with physical, mental, and spiritual health.
Bleeding Heart Wax Melts - $10.80
Christmas came early for me when I received testing kits for TYWK’s signature scents. This is how I settled on the “Cactus Flowers” scent recommended above, but another scent that surprised me was “Bleeding Heart.” This raspberry and vanilla scent was an absolute wildcard. And its heart-shaped mold has the clever product design that TYWK does best: Seeing the “Bleeding Heart” sample melt (or “bleed”) brings its metaphoric name to poetic life.
Aside from the smaller crystals, the melts are affordable picks that still provide a luxury experience. They’re ideal stocking stuffers or practical for keeping an eye on which scents you might choose for a candle upgrade.
