The only animals
we test things on are our friends & family. But sometimes, another opinion is
nice. So, we have a mailing list. In return for letting us ask an opinion now & then, we give perks generously. You'll get coupons for dollars off stuff, special member prices on the scent of the month and when we're clearing out stock, you get first grab. That's just for starters... Here's the kicker, you'll also get dibs on contests, free gifts and all the other secret stuff that no one else knows about. I hope you'll agree this is a steal! Best of all, joining is free! |

A note from the owner:
I love hearing from our customers, and how much they enjoy our
candles. Something I have learned over the years is that everybody's
sense of smell is different, which is a factor in liking or
disliking certain scents (fragrances) of candles. One person may find a fragrance super strong whereas another person may not be able to smell it at all. If you find you don't like a candle scent that someone else claims is strong, that could be why. You have to find what YOU can smell and go with that. Our candles have been tested (or are regularly used) by the customers listed below. more customer comments
Just wanted to say thanks and let you know how impressed I am with
your service - the candles arrived in plenty of time and they smell
great. I have already recommended your website to a friend who's
daughter is getting married in June!
Thanks - your customer service is OUTSTANDING!
Patti H. Hello, Just a quick note to tell you I received my order today and that I LOVE YOUR CANDLES! I ordered some to see what they were like and maybe to sell in my Salon, I lit one today while doing a perm.....WOW! it helped mask that smell of perm better than anything else I have used in the past 25 years of doing hair! You have a customer for life here and I hope to get some of my customers hooked too! Sharon Miller Owner/Stylist A Wild Hair Salon, Inc. Westfield, Indiana Dear Caterpillars Customers: I now you. You were me. Looking for what seemed to be a simple thing - a scented candle that ACTUALLY smells up the room when you light it. You've bought the cheap ones in the grocery store that sent out the weak scent of, well, grocery store. And some candles smell like spray room deodorizer which smells like what one would use in the toilet which then make you think of poop which is not at all what you were going for in the living room. So then you hit the expensive pretty versions - perhaps even in candle stores with cute waxy names. They are not candles, my friend. They are sculptures. Some fancy ones come with cute packaging and crispy dried flowers. This is when you lose your patience. I DO NOT WANT CRISPY DRIED FLOWERS. I WANT A CANDLE THAT PUMPS A GOOD SCENT ALL OVER A ROOM WHEN I LIGHT IT. This is it. You will walk into the room and that room will smell like the candle. The most universally loved scent is probably Gingered Tea. I also enjoy Jasmine & vanilla. The little roly poly glass it comes in makes a cute vase after the candle is done. Plus, they make perfect last minute hostess gifts, as the box is very nice and expensive-looking. So, it isn't the cheapest candle in the world. They're still cheaper than buying a bunch of cheap candles that stink...weakly stink. -Jaimee in Indiana I received a caterpillar candle years ago as a gift. There are hundreds of candles and scents on the market, but I keep buying more market spice tea as it makes my older, pet-filled house smell just lovely. A delicious scent, definitely a quality product. Thank you! Claudine in Redmond, WA Love your candles!! They are AWESOME!! Karen in Crescent City, Ca Ordered a few candles by chance while searching online for candle retailers. LOVE them! I was shocked when my boyfriend lit one upstairs in his home office and I could smell it downstairs while in the kitchen cooking! Amazing. Not to mention the fact that I could actually buy an assortment without draining my bank account. I sent your link to family & friends. Now I need to figure out how to tell my friend who sells partylite that I am moving on... Thanks again! Erica Hello Folks, I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy burning your candles. I always purchase the travel tins as they are the best burning tins I've found. Thanks for making such a great product. - Sandy B. Hi - the candles arrived today safe and sound. Thank you so much - they're wonderful!! - M.Elias Hello,
I just wanted to let you know how very much I love your candles. I found your web site a while back and LOVE your eucalyptus spearmint soy candles. This is the only scent I have tried. I recently had surgery on 11/27/07 and ordered my favorite candles to be sure I had them when I was recuperating. They arrived today and are burning now. My house smells so good and the scent relaxes me. I find your site easy to navigate as well. So...that's it...just a thank you for your yummy candles. They will make my recovery a relaxing one. :) Have a great holiday! Robin
Hi There,
The candles arrived yesterday, but I did not get to pick them up until late this afternoon. Thank you so much for these samples. I have Washington Woodlands burning now and enjoying it so much. I am glad that you labeled the little tea lights so I will know which ones to order in the future. Thank you again. D.C. - olympia
Thank you, thank you, thank you. The chocolate candles arrived today and are
exactly what I wanted. The aroma is exquisite!
I'm happy to say that I got my candle in the mail today. It smells Okay, I'm hooked! This was the first time I purchased your soy
candles and they are wonderful. The scent really does move throughout
the house whereas other candles I've purchased don't seem to. I have
seen absolutely no soot. Thank you and I will be ordering again soon! I just received my candle order yesterday. I have been home today to
enjoy burning them. WOW what a difference. The scent is strong enough to
smell and light enough to enjoy. One is in my kitchen burning and one is
in my craft room burning. I lit the tea light at 10am and it is still
burning at 2:50 pm. (lots of burn time left it looks like) You will
definitely be getting more orders from me both for home use and to
include in my papercrafting projects. Thanks for a wonderful new way to
burn fragrance. Just wanted to let you know that I love your candles. They burn more
efficiently than any other candle I've purchased. All the way to the
edge, evenly all the way down and they look great as they burn down
also! Thanks. Kachinaifer, I received my order yesterday for the "heavenly Chocolate" tea
lights. I have one little tea light burning, and my WHOLE APARTMENT
smells like chocolate ! Not only that.....but that tiny little tea light
has been burning for HOURS ! I've NEVER found such great candles in my
life, ...and believe me, ...I'm a "candle freak". You are the ONLY place
I'll ever buy from again. Any other candle is just a waste of money.
They smell good if you hold them to your nose. But once they're burning,
there's NO SMELL. I LOVE LOVE LOVE your candles. Thank you so much
I just wanted to let you know you have a new loyal customer. I received the candles yesterday and they are beautiful. I burnt the Green Tea candle for about 4 hours, and it hardly went down at all. Also, I was running in and out of the apartment doing laundry, recycling, and every time I came back in I couldn't believe how fragrant one tiny candle was in my large apartment. I also loved how the packing slip was covered in dye and wax (I'm a painter and everything I own is covered in paint). Thank you for the little complimentary candle. I loved the Honeydew scent. Thank you Jessica! I look forward to ordering more candles in the future! :) Jenni E, Seattle, WA

Chasing green recommends our
eco-friendly candles.. "Aerosol spray air fresheners are particularly bad because they produce tiny droplets that are easily inhaled and absorbed into the body. In addition, their propellants are usually butane and propane, which are flammable and toxic to the nerves at high levels. Aerosol air fresheners have also been linked to documented cases of headaches, ear infections, even diarrhea. Another worry is that small children might be tempted to taste air fresheners that smell like fruit or candy.
Candles are generally made from paraffin, which is a non-renewable petroleum product that causes pollution in its production. The indoor air pollution caused by lit candles can also trigger allergies and asthma: you breathe what you burn...Instead of traditional paraffin candles, look for soy or beeswax candles scented with essential oils.
