Eight years ago, we set out on a journey to create candles that do more than just add light and fragrance to your home—they tell stories, set the vibe, and bring people together. We’ve accomplished so much throughout this adventure and can’t wait to see what’s next!
As we celebrate this incredible milestone, we want to take a moment to reflect on the memories we’ve shared and to thank you, our amazing community, for being part of our journey.
The History of Cantrip Candles
Our journey began with a simple desire: to enhance the tabletop experience. Years of hosting game nights made us realize that something was missing—a way to fully immerse ourselves in the world we were creating. A spilled beer during a particularly rowdy tavern session sparked a realization: scent was the missing element.
Frustrated by the lack of options that matched our vision, we took matters into our own hands. What started as a small experiment in soy candle-making quickly grew into a passion, and eventually, a business dedicated to crafting scents that elevate storytelling and atmosphere.
From the start, our candles have been more than just wax and wick. They’ve illuminated epic tabletop battles, added warmth to unforgettable game nights, and set the perfect ambiance for cozy evenings filled with stories and laughter. Whether you’ve used our candles to transport yourself to fantasy realms, enhance the atmosphere of your home, or simply find a moment of calm, we are honored to have been a part of your world.
Our Accomplishments
Over the years, we’ve grown and evolved, thanks to your support and passion. Your feedback has inspired new scents, new collections, a shiny new logo, and new ways to make every flickering flame a meaningful experience. Your stories, photos, and kind words fuel our creativity and remind us why we do what we do.
One of our proudest accomplishments has been the opening of our storefront in downtown Los Angeles. Opening this space has allowed us to meet so many of you and make new friends along the way. Our retail space has also opened up so many new opportunities, including our monthly Candle Making Classes, community campaigns, and more. Getting more connected to our LA community has been a dream come true, and we wouldn’t trade it for all the treasure in the Faerûn.
The Future of Cantrip Candles
As we celebrate this milestone, we’re also excited for what’s to come. The future of Cantrip Candles is brighter than ever, with thrilling new scents on the horizon, each crafted to transport you to new realms of imagination and adventure. We’re working on exciting collaborations with fellow creatives and brands that share our passion for storytelling and ambiance, bringing even more unique experiences to your tabletops and homes.
In the coming months, you can expect more community events, pop-ups, and interactive experiences where we can connect and celebrate together. We’re also exploring new ways to enhance our candles with innovative features that deepen immersion and atmosphere. Whether it’s through special edition collections, seasonal releases, or immersive scent experiences, we’re committed to making each candle more magical than the last.
