We are a small business and unfortunately cannot honor sample requests at this time. Please visit our Stockist page for a list of stores near you that carry our candles.

Please review the caution label before burning. Trim the wick to ¼” before burning to allow for a clean burn. Do not burn for more than 3 hours at a time. Never leave a candle burning unattended or within reach of drafts, pets, or small children.

Candles have a burn memory, so be sure to burn your candle all the way to the edge of the vessel every time you burn it. This will help prevent tunneling and maximize the life of your candle.

All of our products are carefully inspected prior to shipment. Due to the nature of our products, used candles cannot be returned or refunded. However, we will replace or refund products damaged during shipment if you can provide documentation.

We'll only use your shipping and billing address and contact information to communicate with you about your order, to fulfill your order, and for legal reasons (like paying taxes).

We offer wholesale pricing to qualified retailers. Please visit our wholesale page or email us at wholesale@anecdotecandles.com for further information.

We create customized labels using a similar aesthetic for wedding favors and corporate events for orders over 100. These orders are accepted on an adhoc basis depending on the season and inventory. Additional charges may apply. Please reach out to us directly with your request.

At this time, we do not honor any private label or custom fragrance options. We explore co-branded collaborations on a case-by-case basis.
