Happy belated National Honey Month! While celebrating all things honey and honeybees this past September, we also rolled out some of our favorite goodies in our candle subscription boxes. Each month is more and more fun to put together and we get super excited when the products head out the door to you. Unfortunately, this past month also met us with some production delays and price hikes. While we were delayed in getting our packages out the door, we are pleased to let you know we have not decided to raise our prices during this troubling time. We are going working diligently to cut our own costs so that we can still bring you these goodies to your doorsteps at reasonable pricing. Now time to dive into this past month’s boxes to see what they were all about!
About Our Box Reveals
We don’t discuss the full content of our boxes until they have shipped out, as we don’t want to spoil the surprise. After boxes have started to leave our doors, we post our monthly box reveal, going through all the contents of each box type in detail. It’s our opportunity to explain the meaning behind the current month’s theme, how we choose products for the boxes, and to give you some more details on each specific product included. If you have not yet received your box and still want to be surprised, we advise you to stop reading now. Some of you still may not have your boxes, yet you’re anxious to see what’s inside. If you have your box, pull it on out and read along!
Theme: Can It Bee?
The theme for September’s boxes was Can It Bee?, in recognition of National Honey Month. We scoured our lists to find beeswax products, ones shaped like lovely honeybees, or products that had honey as part of the scent notes. It wasn’t easy, but we rounded up a great mix of all of the above!
Companies in the Boxes
Cheryl’s Candles & Gifts
Found in: The Flicker, The Flame, The Luxe
With almost 2,000 scents available, there’s something for everyone at Cheryl’s Candles & Gifts! The customer service is top notch and we never run out of things to try at this shop. The products we chose here were ones with honey scent notes, with a bonus of them being shaped like honeybees!
Jenni’s Crafty Center
Found in: The Flicker
The 100% soy snap bars from Jenni’s Crafty Center are so beautiful and so much fun! We love the fragrant options and the ease of use of the snap bars. We found some scents that included the honey notes and boy…are they good!
Open Road Candles
Found in: The Flicker, The Flame
We spied Open Road Candles on Etsy and we had to try them out. Their products are high quality and the ones with honey scent notes fit our theme.
The wax melt “candy bars” from this company keep us coming back for more. They also make a wide variety of other scented products from which to choose.
Narcissus Candle Co.
Found in: The Flame
Narcissus Candle Co. is a soy candle brand we also scouted on Etsy. We selected their travel tins to go with our other products. We did end up getting a little liberal with some honeysuckle products but hey, the quality is what counts!
Westbury Candle Co.
Found in: The Flicker, The Flame
Another winner from Etsy, Westbury Candle Company has a wide variety of wax melts and candles up for grabs. With their reasonable pricing, it was hard to stick to just a few. The ones selected for our boxes all had honey notes.
Wick It Soy Melts
Found in: The Flicker, The Flame
The wide variety found at Wick It Soy Melts had our heads spinning. The soy candles & wax melts here are fun, fun, fun! We love the dreamy scents and the amazing
creativity.
Leeward Candle Co.
Found in: The Luxe
This luxurious candle company hails from the great state of Virginia. The candles & wax melts are 100% soy with some of the most beautiful, creative blends we’ve ever seen.
Bayou Burns Candle Co.
Found in: The Luxe
We’ve had Bayou Burns on our radar it seems like forever, and we were not disappointed once we tried them out. This indie candle company is based in Texas and they have some of the cutest, most clever scent names we’ve seen. The scents are fabulous, to boot! We hope all our wax friends come to love this company as much as we do.
Sabon
Found in: The Luxe
Luxury awaits! This company sells incredibly luxurious bath/body and home fragrance goods. We’ve included Honey Peach bath salts this month. Relax & soak it in!
Bonus Gifts
Our bonus gifts this month came in the form of some scented wax melt from Tuscaderos for The Flame & The Luxe and Pelican Scents for The Flicker. Enjoy!
