FAQs
How do I take care of my candle?
The first burn is the most important! Make sure to burn your candle all the way to the edge to prevent candle waste & tunnelling. Trim the wick to 1/4” before each use and let the candle completely solidify before relighting. Do not burn your candle for longer than 4 hours at a time.
Where are your candles made? Are they handmade?
Yes, we hand pour all our candles in small batches right here in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Does ernie help with orders?
ernie is responsible for packaging orders, so please be kind if a sticker is slightly off center or if the bow is not tied to perfection. He tried his best!
What’s in your candles?
We use plant-based wax made from soybeans, a renewable source that is vegan-friendly, biodegradable, non-toxic and clean burning. We stay away from essential oils and try to use phthalate-free fragrances - a much safer alternative to paraffin candles!
How long will my candles last?
