Dad's Office

Our number one candle, a classic, and instant fave: An homage to Dad! I don't know about you, but when I needed a pat on the back, some solid advice, or just a good joke, I'd wander off to my dads office. He was usually in an office chair in front of his computer, happy to welcome me into his space and make time for a chat... there, the walls smelt of smoked tobacco. I’d usually catch a whiff of an old leather antique he’d just purchased, or smell the sweets he had within reach to share, and hear a familiar comfort in his voice. Yes, Dad's Office was a haven from heartbreak and hurt, and he was always there for me, whether it was to get a hug and have a cry, or just to shoot the small talk. At the least, this candle is a nod to the old man’s favorite space, but it’s also a sweet way to bring Dad to you when you need him most or just miss him.

Candle 101: PLEASE READ!

1. Trim your candle wick to 1/4-inch every time you go to light it.
2. The first burn is the most important: burn up to 4 hours the first time.
3. Allow melt pool to reach all sides of the glass before extinguishing!
4. If candle begins to tunnel wrap candle jar by making a foil cone (with an opening at the top) to even out the melt pool.
