Looking towards the holiday season, one of the most buzz-worthy finds at the recent Shoppe Object gift show was The Crandle™, a whimsical creation that merges pure nostalgia with clever design. At first glance, you might swear it’s a cylinder of jellied cranberry sauce just slid out of the can, complete with that smooth, ridged surface we all recognize from decades of holiday dinners. But look closer (or give it a sniff) and you’ll realize it’s actually a candle — one that not only looks but also smells like the real thing.

Candle lovers know the disappointment of lighting a favorite candle, only to find the scent faded or the wax discolored. The reality is, how you store candles has a direct impact on their fragrance, burn quality, and even safety. At the Willis Candle Shop, candle care is just as important as candle crafting. Whether you collect autumn candles for every season or enjoy a single wood wick candle in your living room, knowing the right way to store candles can extend their life and keep every burn as satisfying as the first. Even the best non-toxic candles deserve a little attention when they’re not in use, ensuring your home always smells like Texas comfort and style.

The weird thing about elaborate, decorative candles is that they are often too fancy to burn — their main purpose, I’m sure we can all agree — even if they are made of wax and have a wick sticking out of them. Such is the case with this adorable Pink Cowboy Boot Candle from the Davie Ocho Candle Company. Continue reading Pink Thing of The Day: Pink Cowboy Boot Candle→
Oh, my. This is vibrant Pink ‘Statement Candle’ designed by Justinas Bruzas is almost too nice to burn, amiright? Manufactured by 54 Celsius, this candle depicting my very favorite hand gesture is just one among the dozens of unique designs you can find on their website. We spotted it at the NY Now summer marketplace, but it is available for you to purchase in a variety of colors for just $40 at This Link!
On Sunday mornings, I go for a walk that often takes me through the historic district around Irving Place. There are lots tiny boutiques in the area and it;s fun to window shop.I spotted this Hot Pink Poodle Candle on display in the window of a place called Takamichi Beauty Room (located at 125 East 17th Street) which bills itself as a wellness store and ‘cabinet of curiosities.’ Despite the fact that the Poodle is perched atop a box for a candle by Cire Trudon (which retail for over $100 each) it is in fact a much more affordable product of Photerianand retails for just $15. Sweet.
