Another year, another set of *fantasic* candles and candle brands discovered. Last year I share this list of 32 small candles companies to support and I’m back sharing more of what I’ve discovered throughout the last year. As much as I love a classic Diptyque candle, there are so, so many small candle businesses across the country that equally fantastic. I shared a good mix here of prices, small brands and larger companies with the classic “you can’t go wrong here” candles, but a majority of the companies are local, female, and/or BIPOC-owned.
