Our Community Highlights initiative was designed to give back to members of the tabletop community. Customers were invited to purchase sets of ten tealights and nominate someone in the tabletop community who has been influential or inspirational to them. Proceeds from each of these were then distributed to our four winners chosen from the nominees. Cantrip Candles received just such a gift from another small business early in our journey and it really helped us become what we are today!
In December we announced the 2023 winners! Congratulations! Thank you to our customers who helped make this successful! We hope you will check out these great community members!
