Yesterday marked 4 years of Ralph & Forest 🎄🎊✨♥️

Tonight we’re at our last ever market and Monday we close our doors!

For those local to us, you can find us trading at down Humber Street from 5pm until late. We have the last of our stock with us and will be updating the website stock as we go.. we hope to see some of you there 😍 it’s going to be a fun festive artisan market.

For those of you hoping to shop with us before it’s too late, Monday 15th is our cut off date. After this our website will be paused and all final orders will be fulfilled and shipped by Wednesday 17th.

Once again, THANK YOU to our customers (old & new) for supporting us this far. It’s been a wonderful 4 years, full of ups and downs, lots of learnings, AND so much joy.

I’ve absolutely loved growing with Ralph & Forest (my first business), which I birthed alongside my eldest son. As much as it’s hard to say goodbye to this chapter, I know it’s the right thing to do. Life is so fleeting and I don’t want to miss a single day of my babies growing up.

Slow living and less busy is the way forward for us.

All the love

Jess, Rory, Forrest, Rudy, & Ralph 🐾♥️

So we didn’t think we’d get a Christmas market in this year, but something super exciting came up and we couldn’t resist!!

Our local Thieving Harry’s are throwing a Christmas Market.. including feel good music, yummy street food, tasty drinks, and incredible independent makers and artists all under one roof 😍

Saturday 13th December
5pm - Late

This will be our final ever market before we close, so pop down and say hi. We’ll have our newest little member helping out 👶🏻

If you’re local to Hull we’d really appreciate your help spreading the word 🙏🏼💫♥️

Big love

OUR BIGGEST SALE YET

If you’ve been with R&F since the beginning (nearly four years now), you’ll know we’ve never been fans of Black Friday deals, mass production, or compromising on quality.

That’s why our prices have rarely dropped, aside from the occasional 10% thank-you discount, or that one memorable 30% off to celebrate Rory’s 30th a couple of years ago.

But this year, as we prepare to close our doors, we’ve decided to join in and we’re offering a HUGE 35% off across our entire product range. That includes our botanical wax melts, luxury hand-poured candles, rattan diffusers, hand-thrown ceramics, and soft furnishings.

There’s nothing you need to do - the discount is already applied for an effortless shopping experience.
This offer ends on 1st December, when we’ll be taking final orders before sadly closing, until further notice.

So go grab your favourites or those special Christmas gifts, before they’re gone. Once they’re gone, they’re gone for good ♥️🎄🕯️🔔🎊🎁💫

Introducing the newest member to our little family, Rudy 🧡🤎

Born at home early hours in the morning late September - our hearts are filled with so much love and we still can’t believe he’s here!

We accidentally forgot to pause our website and orders have been coming in, but luckily Rory has managed to pack these orders this week and they will be posted out to you tomorrow.

We are continuing to stay open for a few more weeks, but we have a deadline to close our shop before the end of the year so if you would like to stock up on your favourite scents or get your Christmas shopping sorted early then we’re here to help - whilst stocks last.

As always, thank you for supporting us. I still get the ‘pinch me’ moment when I see your orders come in and read your lovely reviews 🥰

Wowee that was a lot of orders to get through 😍 over 40 of you 🙏🏼

We’ve just shipped the last 3 parcels that were slightly delayed due to a website error and gosh it feels good to know that so many of you will be enjoying your handcrafted Ralph & Forest products long after we’ve closed shop. It also feels great to have had the happiest Royal Mail employee help me this morning ☺️

We cannot thank you all enough for supporting us and placing your orders these last couple of weeks, since we made our difficult announcement that we’ll be taking a long pause from as our family grows, which has meant everything must go!!!

Our stock is very depleted, but there are still some incredible handmade home fragrances and homewares for you to get your hands on - with a rare discount gifted with code CLOSING10. Once they’re gone, they’re gone ♥️

As always, much love

Jess

🌿 Ralph & Forest is Closing 🌿

With heavy hearts, we’re sharing that we’ve made the difficult decision to close our little sustainable business.

While it’s been quiet here for a while, our wonderful customers have continued to support us with online orders - and for that, we are endlessly grateful 💛

We’ve missed the markets, and always hoped to return, but with a new baby arriving this autumn, it’s time to slow down and shift our focus.

It’s been an incredible 3+ years of handcrafting home fragrances and homewares with love and care - and we hope this isn’t goodbye forever, just a pause.

We don’t do discounts often, however as a thank you, we’re offering 10% off everything in our shop (yes, even our hand-thrown one-of-a-kind ceramics). Use code CLOSING10 at checkout. Once our final stock is gone, it’s truly gone.

We’re truly grateful for every order, kind message, and support. It’s been a joy to fill your homes with seasonally inspired scents - crafted to be gentle on both you and our Earth.

It’s not goodbye - just a see you later ♥️

With love,
Jess, Rory, Ralph, & Forrest (and bump!) 🥰

The R&F family is growing 🌿☀️👶🏻

Hi… it’s been a minute 👋🏼 as you can see I’ve been pretty busy growing another mini human. We’ve been slowing down and haven’t been able to show up on here since Christmas. I’ve often felt guilty about this, but I’m always preaching about slow living, so I’ve been embodying this and listening to my body.

As always, we appreciate every single one of you who continue to support us and shop with us, despite our poor marketing efforts 😅 This really does go to show that our products speak for themselves and it makes us sooooo happy to see returning customers and new drop into our orders, so THANK YOU ♥️

We have our Spring/Summer collection now LIVE on our website, so if you’re at the end of your winter scents and looking for something a little more sweet and uplifting, head over to our shop!

We’ll likely still be a bit quiet on here for the next few weeks, but we’ll be sharing more news with you soon.

Much love

Jess, Rory, Forrest & Ralph ✨
