About our Candles
Candles, candles, everywhere… well, it would seem so, anyway. Even department stores and supermarkets sell candles. And I think I even saw some at a gas station recently… so in the face of that kind of competition, why would we get involved with hand pouring candles and selling them online?
The simple one-word answer is quality. Because to a certain type of client, quality really, truly matters.
Our clients don’t want to buy cheap candles from a department store, because those candles don’t fill a room with scent. And if they are going to pay $20+ for a jar candle, they want it to last longer and smell better than “candle store” candles do. And that’s where we come in – we can offer you a BETTER candle than the biggest names you know, for a little less money than you’d spend in those specialty candle shops.
Here are a few facts about our candles that you might be interested in:
- I (Angie) pour every candle myself! There is no outsourcing. In addition, I “triple scent” every candle top to bottom, so there's no "running out of smell" once the candle has burned a few minutes.
- The jars have been fitted with the proper, high-quality wick to ensure an even burn. These candles will not "tunnel" (which leaves half of the wax behind.) Instead, they will burn evenly, all the way around, and all the way down. You get everything you pay for.
- The paraffin wax I use is designed for the best possible scent throw (this matters a lot), and has a soft, creamy appearance. I also use two different UV stabilizers to help protect the color. The candles are beautiful, and will stay that way.
- Both size jars fit perfectly on candle warmers for those who prefer to “go flameless”. Please see my section on Burning vs. Candle Warmers.
- We also use some of the best fragrance oils possible. And we use triple the amount of fragrance oil in our recipes. This makes our candles smell incredible. We’ve even responded to customer feedback and started offering our best scents in fragrance mists – check them out!
- We offer an eclectic array of fragrances that have withstood our rigorous scrutiny. But we don’t “overdo” it, either. There’s no need to offer 9 different pine scents, for example. One will suffice, provided it is the best available. Try our Christmas Tree and you’ll see what I mean…
We truly have exceptional candles. Come take a look at our selection, or, if you prefer, click here to build your own sample pack of triple-scented tealights and try us out!
About our Company
“Angie’s Wicks & Wax Candles” sounds like a small company, doesn’t it? And it is – I’m Angie Schexnaydre, the owner, operator, and chief candlemaker! I like to say I’m a boutique candle shop, because we make an exclusive product that a small, but loyal clientele just loves.
It’s my goal to not only get my clients great candles, but to also offer them a first class shopping experience. I’ve been at this for more than six years, which is a testament to not only my candles, but how I treat people. In short, all candles are packaged professionally (indeed, packed as they are, they make great gifts), and shipped quickly. In addition, all inquiries are answered promptly – you can be assured of doing business with a real person who cares very deeply about providing quality service. We boast some of the most loyal customers in the business, and invite you to join them!
Thanks for reading, and I hope to be of assistance to you.
