If you’re about to settle into a comfy chair, cup of coffee at the ready and magazine in hand, whether you are in the hairdressers or at home, we’d love to take this opportunity to introduce you to our independent, family run business. Thornbush Hill® is based in the glorious old market town of Cowbridge (just next to Harry’s bar and restaurant!).
We are artisan, small batch makers of plant-based candles, natural solid soap bars, home fragrances and bath preparations and are proudly entering our seventh year of trading. From the moment you step off the busy high street and into our sanctuary, our job is to help you slow the mind, soothe the soul and enable you to browse our wares in peace, at your own pace. Having recently been awarded ‘Retailer of the year’ at the Vale business awards, we like to think that we are wonderfully different to the big brands, fiercely independent and proud to be part of the Welsh Assembly governments green growth pledge. Our products are designed and made for good. Good for your skin, your mind, the planet and our dear four-legged friends.
Our biggest drive and purpose is our ‘why’; One Small Moment ®
We never wanted to be ‘just another candle brand’. From the start, Thornbush Hill has always been about creating opportunities to slow down and take stock of your day. We believe that in modern-day life our brains and bodies can become overloaded with information, both positive and negative news and noise. Constant stimulation and information from so many digital sources and of course the inevitable comparisons we make with other folks on social media. Even the strongest amongst us can feel the weight from time to time, and so we want to encourage everyone to step back. After all it’s the small habits in your day that can make a huge impact on your emotional and physical health in a very short space of time.
Therefore our ‘why’ is to give our amazing community of customers an opportunity in their day to light their candle or run that bath.. step away from the phone, the washing up and the list making. Drop those shoulders and encourage yourself to breathe deeply and slowly. Think about all the wonderful little interactions you’ve had that day, a smiley barista whilst you got your morning coffee, the dog living its best life hanging it’s head out of the car window that you passed on the dual carriageway, the Canadian geese that flew over your garden in a perfect V, or someone you love giving you that massive bear hug when you saw them.
It’s the basics and sometimes the most mundane daily routines that can give our busy lives so much fulfilment. We believe that practicing these daily thoughts can help aid a grateful mindset naturally and give us that much needed lift at times when life can be a bit challenging.
Using your Thornbush Hill product is your daily reminder to take One Small Moment to feel soothed, grounded, grateful and rested.
We’re always at the end of a phone, email, message or our sanctuary HQ if you ever need a chat, beagle cuddle or cup of something warming.
If you’re a little far away to visit our wonderful website enables you to shop 24 hours a day and we ship nationwide.
As our beautiful little brand continues to grow, we hope to care and nourish it like the family member it really is.
See you soon and much love,
Team TBH
