The Wizarding Works of Pixie & Toad Wax Co.

Tell me muggle, "What exactly is the function of a rubber duck?"


Now that I have your full attention, look here, see. Feast your eyes upon items never before seen by non-magic folk such as yourselves. These items here were sold to me by a man who we dare not speak his name but there are tales that they were handmade by the Pixie & Toad Wax Company themselves! A treasure I assure you. 
Let us first have a nibble at these exploding bon-bons shall we? I must warn you to be careful!!! They are explosively sweet and intensely tangy. These can be found by the plentiful on the shelves of Honey-dukes whenever the sweet tooth hits. 

Exploding Bon Bons- Blend of satsuma, half blood orange, pineapple and a crackle of cake



Fruit enriched tartness that will make your lips pucker. It is an equal blend of pineapple and orange without being too overpowered by citrus while having a bite of vanilla from the cake batter. This throws super strong with only one bon bon and smells delicious. I had mentioned in my previous haul post on these that I was worried about the pop rock candies on whether or not they would leave a sticky residue in the warmers like it did all over the bag and my hands after the pictures. I am happy to report it was an easy cleanup. 



Next let us move on to some of the creatures that can be spotted along the paths of Diagon Alley or roaming the halls of Hogwarts whether it be upon ones shoulder or flying through the rafters. 



Hedwig- Fresh, crisp snowy blend of Juniper, sage, bergamot & aromatic evergreen trees with a shimmering of amber. 




Ah, Potters reliable feathery friend.  

Unfortunately my owl and I had to part ways as we just didn't agree. (Too strong on the bergamot and sage for my nose) and he has been relocated to a new home so I won't have warmed thoughts on him. Don't worry, I have a strong feeling he is in great hands.





Pygmy Puff- Dazzleberry, sugared berries blended with ginger ale. 

Blimey, Watch out for this one! If cuteness could kill. This creature was very hard for me to have to destroy but it threw very well in my warmer at a medium throw with only half of its..er..body. The scent once pooled out almost mimicks a fruity cotton candy cocktail without the boozy undertones thats been replaced by a fizzy diluted carbonation in its place.








Mandrake-Oakwood,hay,mint,beeswax and chamomile. 

A creature that is not necessarily "roaming around" but can be found in Hogwarts greenhouses where students Herbology classes take place. Careful now, must not upset it or disturb the soil as the cries from an adult Mandrake can be fatal.
The earthy undertones blend beautifully with the mint. Warmed, the scent changes to a powdery chamomile floral that mingles with the mossy oak and dry dirt. Throws about a medium. 


Now I believe that is enough magic for you muggles today. Go on now, run along. 

Have you placed an order with Pixie and Toad?
We're you able to grab from the Harry Potter Collection? Let me know! 

Until Next Melt!

  1. "Oh my gosh!" on so many levels! This Harry Potter line looks so fun, but as I browsed their site I saw...DRAGONS!!!! Lordee, I need those! Too bad they are sold out.

    I will need to try a tiny little order from this vendor, which I am not at all familiar with.

  2. Oh my stinkin' word, their wax is just THE CUTEST! That pygmy puff...how did you ever manage to merk him? Did you at least, uh, take his eyes off first? Oh no, that sounds so much worse! I don't believe this vendor ships to Canada. Might you actually know? Or maybe I shouldn't ask - this could get dangerous!

    1. I messaged the vendor on IG and they said yes they do ship internationally. You can just message them for prices (I believe they have a contact place on the website as well. They are restocking dragons tomorrow I believe.
