Soy candles for a house that still has animals in it, and one that hides a keepsake in the wax. Lighting a candle is what people fall back on when there's nothing to do and doing nothing is unbearable, so we chose these for how they burn and how they smell rather than for what the label promises about healing.
What's here, and how to choose
Two of these hide something in the wax. Butterfly Blessings burns down to reveal one of 18 Feng Shui butterfly keychains, and Healing Hearts reveals a keepsake heart stone. Both are lavender and chamomile, and both leave you something to keep once the candle is gone.
The rest sort by mood. Anywhere With You is bright and almost edible: grapefruit, peach, vanilla. Nostalgia and the two I Love You candles go the other way, into sandalwood, amber, patchouli, and smoky leather, closer to a forest than a bouquet. You Got This! is tropical nectar and zesty fruit, for the mornings that arrive whether you're ready or not. Most of these burn 50 hours or more and carry "completely pet-safe" on the label, and each product page lists its own notes. The Tin Soy Candle Trio sits here too, three small bergamot and lavender candles for $39, if you'd rather send three than choose one.
Two pieces on this page aren't candles at all. The Parker urns in mist grey and slate grey are working stoneware candle holders with an ash chamber underneath, so the light you sit with in the evening is literally sitting with them.
Questions, answered
Are these safe to burn around my pets?
Most of them state "completely pet-safe" on the label and are soy, so they won't leave the air heavy in a house that still has animals in it. Check the individual product page, since the keepsake candles don't carry that label.
What's a keepsake candle?
A candle with something hidden in the wax. Butterfly Blessings holds one of 18 butterfly keychains and Healing Hearts holds a heart stone, each revealed as the candle burns down.
How long do they burn?
The pet-safe soy candles run 50 hours or more. Burn times are on each product page.
Do candles work as a sympathy gift?
They're one of the gentlest, and they land on the part of the day nobody thinks to ask about. Dinnertime is the hour pet parents tell us they dread most, because it used to be the one hour that was entirely about somebody else.
