Where Fire Meets the Sea
Elevating Ambiance Through Artisanal Craftsmanship
Thoughtfully Crafted, With Nature in Mind
At EMBER + SOLSTICE, beauty and intention go hand in hand. We believe the products we bring into our homes should delight the senses while reflecting care for the people who enjoy them and the world that inspires them.
From our small-batch, hand-poured candles to our carefully selected fragrances and nature-inspired creations, we prioritize quality, thoughtful ingredients, and responsible sourcing. Our candles are crafted with paraffin-free wax and phthalate-free fragrances, reflecting our commitment to more considered choices without compromising the sensory experience.
That care extends to the details you may not see at first glance—from the materials we choose to the makers and small businesses behind them. Even the feathers used in our art are sourced from Running Bug Farm, a woman-owned, off-grid farm whose owner describes her collection practices as humane.
We know that caring for the planet is an ongoing journey, not a claim of perfection. Our intention is to make thoughtful choices wherever we can, creating beautiful things that feel as good to bring into your home as they do to experience.
Made with intention. Inspired by nature.
Where Coastal Calm Meets Everyday Ritual
EMBER + SOLSTICE brings the feeling of the coast into everyday life—for those who miss the ocean and those who feel forever connected to it. From landlocked Idaho, we draw inspiration from the sensory memory of salt air, sun-warmed shores, weathered driftwood, and the quiet rhythm of the tides.
With over ten years of candle-making experience, our craft has evolved from the simplicity of beeswax to the art of blending beautiful fragrances with thoughtfully chosen waxes. Alongside fifteen years of small-business experience, we’ve continued to refine our approach, always seeking the right balance of quality, beauty, and the sensory experience that makes a house feel like a home.
Our collection brings together:
Coastal home fragrance — candles, room sprays, and botanical oils inspired by ocean air, sun-warmed woods, and the natural world.
Fragrance and adornment — perfumes and ocean-inspired jewelry that capture the spirit of salt, sun, and sea.
Home and lifestyle treasures — thoughtfully curated décor and nature-inspired pieces that bring a sense of seaside calm into your space.
Seasonal and limited-edition finds — special creations inspired by the changing seasons, the beauty of nature, and the little things that make each moment unique.
The Meaning Behind Our Name
Ember represents the quiet spark that remains through change—a symbol of resilience, hope, and the potential to begin again. Even after the fire settles, something beautiful remains.
Solstice marks a turning point in nature's cycles, reminding us that every season has its purpose: growth, stillness, release, and renewal.
Together, EMBER + SOLSTICE reflects our belief in finding beauty through life's transitions and creating space for moments of calm, connection, and transformation.
Every fragrance, texture, and detail is chosen with intention. We invite you to slow down, create your own rituals, and bring a little of the coastal life home—wherever you may be.
With care,
Nikki Macredes
