Many people think a candle is a candle, and I’ve had some customers buy candle holders and tell me they’ll just pick up a bag of tealights at the dollar store. Well, you get what you pay for. High quality candles like ours burn better and cleaner than the ones that you buy at the dollar store.
Our candles are 100% food-grade parrafin wax. There are very few impurities in the wax, which means that you do not get any black soot on the inside of your jar candles or build-up on your walls. Additionally, the wicks are 100% cotton and contain no lead (unlike some of the candles that are made in China). The wax burns completely, so you get the full value of the candle, and don’t end up with a bunch of wax that you have to try to dig out of your candle holder.
As for asthetic differences, the scent is throughout the entire candle, so it will not lose its scent over time, and the color of the tealight candles shows through the clear tealight holder (no hideous aluminum).
Edited on 4/5 – Apparently several freebie sites have gotten word of my free sample offer. As a result, the demand was far more than I could handle, so I have removed the offer. I am now offering a weekly $50 candle gift certificate drawing. Click here to enter.

Hi Terri,
I’ll mail one out to you. I didn’t approve your comment, because I didn’t think you’d want your home address posted. Thank you!

I love scented candles, but don’t like to mess to clean out the votive after the candle burns only down the middle, what a waste

About 30plus years ago a friend of mine used to sell candles that were in all different shapes such as seahorses, unicorns, etc. and had square chunks of different colored wax mixed in with them. Do you know of them and if they still exist?

Sorry, Karen, I’m not familiar with those candles. I don’t think they were ours.
