How it started…
Lifelong best friends and Southwestern PA natives, we have often found ways to combine our passion for planning and creating with fun and laughter in a way that has made some of the best memories. Whether it was a school fundraiser or literary magazine, a bridal shower or wedding, decorating a new house or hosting our annual Friendsgiving dinner, the process and journey, while often trying to outdo ourselves, has always been the most fun. So naturally, when we started making our own candles, it wasn’t long before a hobby of melting and pouring wax became much more, taking over entire kitchens, basements, and guest rooms! As we explored different products and fragrances, the support and excitement of friends and family led us to officially launch Wonder & Warmth Candle Company in 2021.
Our desire to create and remember life’s best moments is still one of the main reasons we’ve chosen this adventure. We love the way a scent can take you back to a moment in time, to the chapstick you wore as a kid, or to the luxury resort you visited in the Caribbean. Many of our fragrance blends and names are inspired by some of our favorite memories, like our annual fall trip with friends (“Farmhouse Weekend”) or the perfect afternoon on the water with a festive cocktail (“Boat Drinks”).
At Wonder & Warmth Candle Co., we do our best to create products that are environmentally conscious and use natural, clean ingredients free from harmful toxins. By using recycled and sustainable materials, 100% natural soy wax, cotton wicks, and glass or tin vessels, we feel good about our candles and you can feel good about bringing them into your home. Reminder: don’t forget to recycle your packaging and jars!
After establishing our small business and realizing, Okay we can do this, we decided to use the opportunity to give back to another cause very close to our hearts. Beginning in 2023, a portion of all proceeds will be donated to various mental health non-profit organizations. We believe in the importance of mental healthcare and awareness and are proud to do our small part for a cause that affects so many lives every day.
Lastly, we want to thank you for supporting our small business and being here on our journey as we continue to grow. Our hope is that Wonder & Warmth Candles can remind you of a long-forgotten moment and help you create new memories to last a lifetime.

Sarah & Emily
