Fire is a symbol of transformation, love, light + energy.

Soy wax fire starters foraged from nature + infused with essential oils.

Cuddles + Campfires is a family-owned company created with adventure + loved ones in mind. One of our favourite family pastimes is sitting around the fire enjoying some cuddles or roasting marshmallows. We love the familiar + comforting warmth of a fire for all occasions.

​

It was important to us that we create a product that promotes the simple things in life - connecting with nature + slowing down.

Our fire starters are curated with familiar scents to evoke special memories + compliment any occasion.

​

Memories are made with Cuddles + Campfires.

​

Enjoy!

What is a fire starter?

A natural fire starter consists of items foraged from nature mixed with soy wax or beeswax in a small, fire-friendly container.


At Cuddles + Campfires, we make sure that all of our packaging is fire-friendly too. Just toss it into the fire for easy clean up + zero waste!

When you're ready for some cuddles by the fire, simply place our fire starter beneath your kindling, light the wick + add your logs.

Our Family

We think it's important that our customers can put a face to a name. Meet me (Lindsay), my husband Matt + our two boys, Kieran + Liam. We love spending time with our dogs outdoors + getting together with friends + family over good eats!

​

My husband is an entrepreneur too + we're really excited to finally join forces + take on this new adventure together. Having the kids involved was really important to us to maintain our family time as priority.

​

We believe that life is about the simple things + making the most of our time by creating beautiful memories together.


We hope you + your loved ones enjoy making new memories around the fire, just as much as we do.

Nature's Ingredients

Our ingredient list fluctuates with mother nature + our inspiration. Here is our current list of favourites as we head into the spring season.

Our Process

At Cuddle + Campfires, we love that our process involves the entire family. It's an opportunity for us to create, explore + have fun together.

Find + Forage

Nature's gifts are everywhere

Co-existing with nature requires a healthy balance of give + take. We forage nature's gifts from local forest floors + meadows, local walking trails, community parks, roadsides + our very own backyard.


Common items found locally include oak, maple + birch tree bark, pine + cedar branches, wood chips + edible wild berries.


This is our boys' favourite part of the process because it's all about adventure!

​

We believe it's important to respect ecosystems + mother nature so we only forage a small amount from any one location.

Curate + Create

Creativity feeds the soul

We take our inspiration from the seasons + our favourite smells of nature.


We locally source our herbs + spices to compliment our foraging treasures.

​

After carefully selecting our ingredients, we place them in paper muffin cups, add in our essential oils + soy wax + voila!

​

Each fire starter collection is curated to enhance your special moment + evoke emotions of joy, serenity + contentment.

Mix + Melt

Smell is the sense of memory + desire

Familiar scents bring comfort + can flood seemingly forgotten memories to the present.


The perfume my grandma wore, or the laundry detergent I washed my boys' baby clothes in - we all have our favourite scents that remind us of that special someone or something. 

​

At Cuddles + Campfires we only use high quality, pure unadulterated essential oils to create our fire starter collections and source them from Canadian manufacturers whenever possible.
