Our Story

Our journey began in 2017, when my wife Kate decided to decorate a candle for our son Blaze christening.

A plain, white candle was purchased with Kate applying the motifs adorned around the outside of the candle to commemorate this special occasion.

                                 

This planted the seed for modernising candles in the market that were otherwise dull, and uninteresting. Our christening candles have been in high demand ever since.

To ensure our customers of the highest quality and control, I hand pour every candle that we make while Kate develops the designs of the motives that surround our eco-friendly candles. I've also taken it upon myself to hand make our cement vessels used for the range of soy scented candles.

We get such joy and happiness with the knowledge that our hand made candles are in peoples homes all over the world.

Our desire was to create something entirely with our own hands, that brings a sense of calm and tranquility and evokes a personal sense of emotion to peoples lives.

Being environmentally aware and conscious, we use eco-friendly materials like recycled packaging, as it's at the forefront of our business ethos.

So what's behind the brand name, Teddybae?

When Blaze was an infant, he had a little soft teddybear that he absolutely loved. He also had a pacifier (dummy) that he called 'bae'. Whenever he was overwhelmed, anxious, stressed or tired, he would say to us, "teddy" which meant he wanted to hold his soft teddybear in his hand, and 'bae' so he could suck on his pacifier. Almost immediately Blaze would relax, calm down and sleep when necessary.

                              

                           

Our candles aim to have a similar effect, when your world feels somewhat chaotic, you feel overwhelmed, anxious, maybe even a little lost. Light one of calming scented soy candles and take a moment for yourself, reset, shut everything out for a few minutes or even a few hours, and come back feeling refreshed and continue on.

Our little family looks forward to our candles being a part of your home, now and in the years to follow...

Miguel, Kate & Blaze
