About us

A little message from us

At Shelfaware, we believe in the power of storytelling and the ability of scents to transport us to different worlds. Our unique wax melt bars, inspired by classic literature, are meticulously crafted to evoke the essence of beloved literary works. From the haunting scents of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven" to the cosy aromas of Oscar Wilde's musings on autumn, our products offer a captivating sensory experience that combines literary nostalgia with the comfort of home.

Lottie has been a secondary English teacher for the last nine years and has really enjoyed teaching her favourite texts such as: Macbeth, A Christmas Carol, An Inspector Calls and Romeo and Juliet. We made the huge decision earlier this year that Lottie wouldn't be returning to the classroom in September, in search of some much needed work-life balance and flexibility. Lottie's passion for literature and zest for creativity is where Shelfaware started to come into fruition and we are beyond excited to begin our new adventure. We decided to open a literary gift business, and we wanted to do something different. With that, we have taught ourselves how to design and make our own moulds to provide completely unique items, learnt about colours, scents and the science behind making our wax melts and it has been such a wonderful experience. We plan to expand the range of products we sell as we are bursting at the seam with ideas, but for now...we are delighted to introduce you to our literary wax melt bars.

We recently got our lovely new puppy, a Miniature Dachshund, named Little Sausage Boy and he is thrilled that mum is staying home with him every day and Lottie is enjoying all sorts of new thrills...such as making a coffee whenever she wants! 

We hope you enjoy our products and follow us on our new journey.
