Meet Drift - Hand-Poured Candles from the Gold Coast
At Plants in a Box, we’re all about gifts that grow, glow, and make hearts smile. That’s why this Valenetine's Day, we’re pairing our plants and pots with Drift Trading Co. candles, creating the perfect ready-to-gift combo for your loved ones.
A little bit about Drift Trading Co…
Drift is run by Lou & Paul, with help from their son Byron (and sometimes daughter Summer). Since 2016, they’ve been crafting hand-poured soy candles in small batches, combining beautiful, clean-burning wax with signature fragrances that transform any space into a warm, inviting haven. Every candle is made with care, attention, and a love for creating moments that matter - just like the gifts we deliver at Plants in a Box - made with care by one small business supporting another.
Drift candles are hand-poured in small batches locally on the Gold Coast, using premium soy wax and carefully curated fragrance blends. Each candle is made with care to ensure a clean, even burn and a scent that fills the room without overpowering it.
When you pair a great plant with a seriously good candle, you’re not just ticking the gift box - you’re giving something that actually gets used, noticed, and loved.
Plants bring life, colour, and that “this space feels better” energy. Candles do the same, just with scent and mood. Together? They’re a solid gift move. Special without being over the top.
Why this combo works:
-
Plants stick around and keep growing (unlike a bunch of roses).
-
Candles instantly lift a room and make it feel considered.
-
Both are locally made, family-run, and chosen because quality matters.
To make things easy, we’ve pulled this pairing into two limited-edition Valentine’s packs, designed for different kinds of love (because not all love looks the same):
