Frequently asked questions

Depends on the product/container you choose.  Pricing can be viewed here. Many of our jars are only available in store so we invite you in at any time to see what we have available.

We use natural soy wax so that you can have the cleanest burn possible without putting harmful chemicals in the air.  We also only use cotton paper wicks because they burn the cleanest.  This doesn’t mean there won’t be soot as that just can’t be avoided, but there will be much less as compared to other materials.

Our candles will take a minimum of 2 hours to be ready for pickup and large candles will require more time (time will vary per candle size).

Unfortunately no, we can’t make the scent stronger.  There is a bit of science to what we do and adding more fragrance oil compromises the integrity of the wax and how well the candle burns.  It’s just not safe.  The scent will naturally be a little stronger when burned though.

Sadly this is also a no.  Because we can’t confirm the safety of the container or how well it handles heat, we just do not want to take any risks when it comes to your safety.

While we can’t reuse jars, we will be more than happy to give you a discount on a new one when you bring your old one back.

Of course! We love all our companions, furry or otherwise.   All we ask is that they are well behaved and that if an accident should happen, you clean it up promptly.

Absolutely.  A little soot is pretty typical with burning anything.  However, if you notice a lot or see smoke, check the following:

  • Make sure the wick is only 1/4 inch long.  We’ve found when the wick gets too big that it creates too much heat which is what creates the soot/smoke and burns the candle faster.

  • Make sure there are no drafts.  Drafts are a candle’s worst enemy and will again make it burn faster and smoke more.

  • Only burn your candle for 3-4 hours at most at a time.  Longer just means everything gets that much hotter and burns that much faster overall.  Our goal is keep you enjoying your candle for as long as possible. 

You bet!  In addition to candles, we also offer wax tarts, reed diffusers, and room sprays.
