Nate & Amy Stone
We have this crazy belief that people want to help but often don't know where to start. It can be overwhelming. Our goal is to make it easier. We like candles, but we love people. We don't sell candles, really. We sell a belief that each of us has the capacity to help others. That it's the doing that counts, not the thought. Doing something is better than nothing, even something as simple as buying a scented candle made by a young person who could benefit from the support. Every candle that we sell is a vote that affirms these beliefs. We think that's worth building.

Our candles are available in three sizes: black tin, gold tin, and glass pillar, each with its own recycling options.
Yes, our products are environmentally friendly. We prioritize sustainability by using a Coconut/Soy Wax Blend that is gluten-free, toxin-free, paraben-free, and phthalate-free.

100. We get it. That might seem like a lot! We experimented with all sorts of labels before we found something we loved — thick, high-end, heat-resistant matte paper labels. We think they look great, but nice things come at a cost. In this case, it's literal (they cost more), and our minimum order is 100. Don't need 100? Tell us what you need, and we will do our best to get creative!
Good news! This is mostly up to you! The thing that takes the longest is labels to be ordered, printed, and sent to us. Once we land on a design, scent, and vessel and receive initial payment, we will start production. For orders less than 250, we can almost always complete them in 2-4 weeks.
We offer private label at 30% less than retail (retail 14 oz - $40, 9 oz - $32, 2 oz - $10). That's right! You can create your own label and candle for less than what you'd pay for a candle off the shelf.
We have two other fees: A one-time $100 label design fee and $80 label setup fee (this is what the label company charges to create a new label). Both are waived on reorders!
No Stress Guarantee
Before you make any decisions, we schedule a time for you to come and smell our scents. The internet is great for a lot of things but smelling candles isn't one of them! Purchasing from afar? We'd be happy to make recommendations!
