Online Exclusives

They’re the things you can only find if you wander into our digital forest.

From cozy apparel and journals to unscented candles and Bramble-approved mugs, our Online Exclusives live on the shelves of our website — quietly magical, always waiting.

Because you can’t find them anywhere else — not at markets, not at pop-ups, not even in the wild.

These pieces are made just for our online Gloaming visitors. Think of them as enchanted objects that only appear when you’re browsing in the right realm.

Step through the virtual hedge:

Head to our website and visit the “Online Exclusives” section. That’s where the portal opens.

And if you're a Twitch subscriber or a site member, your key glows a little brighter — you’ll find special discounts waiting for you there.

The kind of items that make tea taste better and desks feel softer:

- Mugs for witches, gremlins, and sleepyheads
- Apparel with hidden spells stitched into the sleeves
- Unscented soy candles for quiet rituals
- Art prints and journals that carry a little bit of our world with them

You might even find free digital wallpapers tucked between the pages if you're one of our members.

Not yet — but never say never.

Right now, they’re little pieces of the wider Gloaming world: practical, comforting, and designed for everyday enchantment.

No lore required — just vibes.

Absolutely.

Twitch subscribers and site members get discount codes, access to exclusive downloads like wallpapers, and first dibs on any new drops we quietly sneak onto the shelf.

It’s our way of saying thank you for being part of the coven.

Because sometimes you need a little Gloaming magic at 2am in your pyjamas.

Markets are lovely — but the Online Exclusives let us ship a slice of softness straight to your door, whenever you need it.




More About Hexley

Yes — I’ve completed formal training in both herbalism and aromatherapy.

This includes a Master Herbalist Diploma (Level 3 with distinction), certification from the International Association of Therapists, and further study through Isla Verde Spa Training Academy and Udemy.

So when I talk about a herb that soothes the soul or an oil that grounds you — it’s backed by real knowledge, not just vibes.

I do.

Before launching Gloaming full-time, I worked as an adviser within a well-known charity, supporting low-income families, homeless individuals, clients with disabilities and more. I voluntarily gained qualifications in health and social care, disability support, and understanding the autism spectrum in order to prepare myself for being my son's advocate.

These experiences deeply shaped how I build community and craft content: everything here is designed to be accessible, affirming, and kind.

Absolutely — maybe most of all.

I’m neurodivergent, a parent to an autistic child, and someone who’s navigated burnouts, breakthroughs, and everything in between.

That lived experience is woven into every spell, every product, every post. Gloaming was built not just from textbooks, but from real life.

Everything I offer — whether it’s a wax melt, a community stream, or a podcast episode — is shaped by both science and soul.

I blend my formal training in herbalism and care work with intuition, artistry, and gentle ritual.

The result? Practical tools with a little bit of enchantment.

Yes — but never blindly.

I share what’s worked for me, grounded in knowledge and experience, and invite you to explore what resonates.

Gloaming doesn’t promise quick fixes — just thoughtful tools, community care, and slow magic you can grow into.

Gentle Living

At Gloaming, we believe there is quiet strength in slowing down.

In a culture that often values speed, noise, and constant productivity, choosing to live gently is a radical act. It means pausing long enough to notice what matters. It means being present—in your space, in your work, in your own mind.

Mindful living doesn’t require grand gestures. It begins with the smallest decisions: taking a walk without your phone, lighting a candle before you begin the day, making something with your hands simply because it brings you peace. These small moments, repeated often, help to restore clarity, reduce stress, and create a deeper sense of connection—with yourself and with the world around you.

Gloaming is built around this slower rhythm. Every product we create is designed to support intentional living—to offer comfort, calm, and quiet beauty.

This is not about escaping the world. It’s about meeting it differently.

You don’t have to force stillness — you can invite slowness instead.

Light a candle. Hold a warm cup. Sit with the cat. Let the mind wander without judgment.

Slowing down at Gloaming means making tiny pockets of peace, not demanding silence from a loud and brilliant mind.

If it feels like a performance, it isn’t gentle.

Gloaming isn’t here to turn your life into an aesthetic — we’re here to remind you that slowness isn’t about doing less, it’s about being kinder to yourself while doing whatever you can.

Start with one soft thing. One light. One breath.

You don’t need a full routine — just a flicker of comfort to come back to.

Gloaming’s wax melts, herbal blends, and rest rituals were made for low-energy magic.

You don’t need to buy anything to feel wonder.

Make your tea like it’s a potion. Walk like you’re on a quest. Let the breeze count as a blessing.

Gloaming shares free rituals, cozy prompts, and enchantments made from what’s already around you.

Light a candle before you check your phone.

Bless your to-do list with a doodle. Name your tea after the mood you want to summon.

At Gloaming, we collect little habits like this — easy to keep, hard to forget.

Choose one spot and give it softness.

A blanket. A flickering light. A familiar mug.

Our seasonal bundles and herbal comforts are made for transforming small corners into sacred ones.

Because most of it wasn’t made for us.

It’s sold as a curated ideal — but real slowness is often messy, nonlinear, full of nap days and overstimulation.

At Gloaming, we build gentleness that bends with your brain, not against it.

Let the seasons in through your senses.

Drink herbs that taste like spring. Burn a scent that feels like autumn. Listen to the storm and call it sacred.

Gloaming’s herbal rituals help bring the wild into your home.

Guilt is what the world taught you. But your body and mind are wise.

At Gloaming, we treat rest as sacred — not something you earn, but something you deserve.

Lay down. The sky won’t fall.

It has to — or it isn’t real.

You don’t need hours of free time. You need a few soft pauses, scattered through the noise.

Our Gloaming coworking sessions and daily rituals are made for real lives, not perfect ones.



Neurodivergence - Wonderfully Wired

Think tides, not clocks.

Some days you rise like the sea, and others you pull back into stillness. Both are sacred.

At Gloaming, we embrace ebb and flow — through rituals, body-doubling streams, and soft structure that bends with you.

Because they usually are.

You don’t need bubble baths and productivity hacks — you need care that speaks your language.

At Gloaming, we offer messy rituals, lazy magic, and real rest designed for beautifully tangled minds.

Routines aren’t moral victories — they’re just tools.

If the tool doesn’t fit your hands, it’s not your fault.

At Gloaming, we trade rigid schedules for rituals that adapt to your natural rhythm, however strange and wonderful it is.

Magic isn’t something you perform. It’s something you notice.

Let your stim be a spell. Let your deep focus be enchantment. Let your weirdness bloom.

Gloaming celebrates your magic exactly as it is — no costume changes required.

Gentle input. Familiar rituals. Time with people who get it.

Creative burnout isn’t laziness — it’s a signal.

We designed Gloaming’s coworking spaces and slow crafting kits to hold space for healing, not pressure.

Choose your anchors.

A texture you love. A scent that grounds you. A sound that softens the edge.

Gloaming’s herbal goods, candles, and quiet streams are sensory tools as much as they are comforts.

Cozy isn’t clean. Cozy is lived-in.

Stacks of books. Yarn in a basket. A mug left out because it feels safe.

At Gloaming, we don’t design for minimalism — we design for neurospicy softness and homes full of life.

You’re not too much — you’re just in tune with what others have been taught to ignore.

Your feelings aren’t wrong. They’re rich.

Everything at Gloaming — from our words to our wares — is made to honor sensitivity, not suppress it.

Start with what feels good. Trust what sparks ease.

Your brain has a language — even if it’s not the one society taught.

Gloaming’s spells, structures, and spaces are all shaped by that truth: your life can be built around what works for you.

All of them.

Got out of bed? That’s a spell. Opened one scary email? That’s a triumph. Rested on purpose? That’s sacred.

At Gloaming, we throw confetti for the things no one else sees — because you know how much they cost.



Herbalism & Natural Magic

You don’t need to grow a lush garden to connect with plants.

Start with dried herbs, a good tea blend, or a single sprig on your windowsill.

At Gloaming, we offer beginner-friendly bundles and tiny rituals that make herbal magic accessible, even if your plants fear you a little.

Try something forgiving — like mint, lemon balm, or thyme.

They don’t ask for much, and they give so much back.

Gloaming’s seasonal guides and herb kits are designed to help you grow confidence alongside your plants.

Nature doesn’t need acreage — it needs attention.

Keep a jar of dried herbs. Brew a tea with intention. Press a leaf into your journal.

At Gloaming, we bring the forest to your doorstep — no garden necessary.

Oatstraw. Lavender. Chamomile. Lemon balm.

They’re like the herbal version of someone rubbing your back and telling you it’s okay.

You’ll find these allies in many Gloaming blends, each one chosen to help you breathe a little easier.

Give each herb a role in your life — a mood, a memory, a name you whisper.

Ritual turns routine into magic.

Our Gloaming kits come with stories, not just ingredients, so you can make every brew a spell of your own.

Absolutely.

A handful of dried herbs can do more than a cabinet full of potions.

Gloaming shares low-cost rituals, flat-friendly tools, and cozy bundles designed with real life in mind.

Start small. One herb at a time. One purpose. One ritual.

Let it become familiar. Let it become yours.

At Gloaming, we guide you gently — no gatekeeping, no Latin names required (unless you want them).

Ask: what do I need? Calm? Focus? Protection? Joy?

Then let the plants answer.

Gloaming’s tools are flexible, intuitive, and beginner-witch approved — made for building rituals that work for you.

Oatstraw + lavender + a bit of honey.

Steep it slow. Wrap your hands around the mug. Breathe in the steam.

You can find this blend — and others like it — in Gloaming’s Comfort Brews collection.

Maybe. And that’s okay.

Every spark of curiosity leaves something behind.

At Gloaming, we make space for ebb and flow — our tools are here when you need them, and they’ll wait quietly when you don’t.



Crafting, Community & Creativity

You don’t have to finish everything to be a creator.

Each half-made thing taught you something. It sparked joy, or comfort, or curiosity — and that’s enough.

At Gloaming, our coworking spaces are full of half-finished wonders. You're not alone.

When creation feels like pressure, pause. Let joy back in.

Make something silly. Messy. Useless on purpose.

Gloaming celebrates the kind of crafting that soothes rather than stresses. No productivity required.

You don’t need to be a “real artist.” You already are.

Art is anything you make with intention — and bravery often looks like a wobbly post with shaky hands.

Our Gloaming community is built to hold your work gently and celebrate your weird little wonders.

Doodle in the margins. Stitch one line. Mix a colour and call it a spell.

At Gloaming, we believe micro-magic is still magic. Small acts of creation still count — sometimes even more.

You’re not too weird. You’re just waiting for your people.

The Gloaming community was made for the misfits, the neurospicy, the quietly brilliant and the loudly kind.

Come sit with us. We saved you a spot.

You don’t have to talk to feel seen.

At Gloaming, you can sit in silence in a coworking stream, lurk in the Discord, or drop in when your energy allows.

You’re still part of the circle — even when you’re quiet.

Crafting can be rhythm. Control. Soothing repetition. A place to put feelings your mouth doesn’t know how to say.

At Gloaming, we treat making things as medicine — soft, gentle, neurodivergent-friendly medicine.

Let yourself make “bad” things on purpose.

Create ugly art. Write nonsense spells. Burn a lopsided candle with pride.

Gloaming encourages imperfect magic — because that’s the kind that’s actually alive.



Emotional / Spiritual / Mystical

Start with small promises. Keep one.

Light a candle when you say you will. Make tea when you need comfort. Listen to your own “no.”

At Gloaming, we believe self-trust grows like a thistle — quietly, stubbornly, through the cracks.

Wonder isn’t loud. It’s hiding in steam, shadows, and birdsong.

You don’t need to chase it — just notice.

At Gloaming, we collect tiny enchantments so you can remember: even on hard days, the world still sparkles.

Magic isn’t about feeling powerful. It’s about being present.

It’s showing up. Lighting the candle even when you’re tired. Naming the ache and still dreaming anyway.

Gloaming magic is made for ordinary days and extraordinary souls.

Start by whispering instead of listening for a shout.

Intuition isn’t urgent — it waits. Beneath the noise, beneath the fear, it hums softly.

At Gloaming, we use scent, ritual, and quiet practice to help you find that hum again.

It has to be.

If your altar is a teacup, if your spell is a nap, if your sacred space is a blanket fort — it still counts.

Gloaming honors the deeply spiritual act of simply being real.

- Stir your tea three times clockwise with a wish.
- Wear a colour that makes you feel safe.
- Whisper your name like it’s a charm.

Gloaming’s seasonal kits are full of ideas like this — because magic should feel like home.

By weaving your dreams around your truth — not against it.

Some spells take time. Some paths are winding. That doesn’t make them less worthy.

At Gloaming, we call this sacred pacing. You don’t have to run to be moving forward.

Light a special candle. Make a cup of something sweet. Tell one trusted soul.

You don’t need confetti to mark a moment — just intention.

Gloaming is full of tiny celebration rituals for quiet triumphs.

Rest is resistance, especially in a world that wants you running.

At Gloaming, we treat rest like ritual — a spell you cast by stopping.

You are allowed to pause. Not just allowed — invited.

By letting the enchantment live beside the hardship, not instead of it.

You can cry and still light the candle. Be anxious and still name the moon.

Gloaming teaches enchantment as resilience — the kind you grow even in winter.
