Candles love first impressions and to enjoy them to their fullest, you have to start things off right. On your first burn the scent pool needs to almost reach the edge of the tumbler. This can take up to four hours so make sure you have the time to see it through. This ensures a maximum burn time is achieved and helps eliminate tunnelling, which can lead to wick drowning.

Always keep your candle away from drafts and on a level surface when burning. Be sure to trim your wick to 1/4 inch in length prior to every light. This will enable the candle to burn at the correct temperature, which allows it to “throw” the scent farthest and last the longest. We find that burning in two hour intervals works well but we also choose your choice.

Someone told us “the devil is in the details”. Whether its all those times you put off starting a new project or all the little pieces of packaging that came with your new XYZ. Put these all together over your lifetime and they add up to a mountain. Whether its a mountain of half cocked ideas or a mountain of garbage, all mountains are climbable.

We hand pour each of our scents in small batches in our Vancouver, BC studio because it’s worth the effort. Our choice to pour in these enamel tumblers is an effort to leave you with a vessel you can (and want to) reuse. Each scent is inspired by one of the four seasons that we enjoy so much. Each season has something for everyone and we hope you enjoy our impression of them.

We use minimal and recyclable packaging when possible because our planet is worth it. The cork dust covers are unfinished so they’re 100% compostable, but we hope you use it as a coaster first. Also, if you’re not interested in keeping your tumblers forever we will happily reuse them in exchange for a discount on your next candle. Email us at info@wildlifegoods.com for more details.
