FGM’s Weekly Pick — Modern Forestry Soy Candles

by Leave a Comment

Modern Forestry Soy Candles didn’t start as a full-time endeavor; for owners John and Sarah Collins, it was originally initiated as a fun hobby that the pair could enjoy together.

But unknown to them at the time, the hobby would soon turn into a small business that allowed both John and Sarah to quit their jobs, and make soy candles together for a living.

Modern Forestry Soy Candles are hand-poured in small batches to ensure that every candle is made with love, care, and precision. They make all of their candles from their garage workshop that they lovingly refer to as The Forestry Studio.

Being avid travelers gave them lots of inspiration for tons of unique aromas that can be found around the world, from Britain to the Middle East.

They have enticing scents that encompass every preference, such as Southern-inspired Appalachian Maple Bourbon, or holiday scents like Christmas Orange and Deck The Halls.

Every candle is made phthalate free and comprised of 100% American-grown soy.

For all-natural soy candles that will fill any room with wonderful scents, take a look at Modern Forestry Soy Candles.

Lil’ Flickers Candle Co. Brings The Scents of The World To Your Customers

Vendor Spotlight

Candles have the ability to not only brighten up any room but to also freshen the air with wonderful scents and aromas. It’s not every day that you find a product that does two things for the price of one! But buying the perfect candle can also be a tasking process. How do you find the one that your customers will love, and is made with high-quality materials that will allow the wick to burn for hours and hours? Well, if you’re looking for a candle company that provides all of those things and more, you’ve found the right business with Lil’ Flickers Candle Company.

The Story

Lil’ Flickers Candle Company was created by Tammy Jo and Mark Kerney in October of 1994, originally as a family owned stay-at-home business. The family worked hard to make a product with scents that were “beyond belief” and also melted evenly when burned.

After years of selling their candles out of their home, Tammy Jo and Mark decided to sell their products through Wild Bird Center in Harlingen, Texas. Eventually, Tammy Jo and Mark passed on the business to Arlene and Bob Stelzer, owners of Wild Bird Center, in April 2002. The Stelzers, the new owners of Lil’ Flickers, have been operating Lil’ Flickers for many years and still work to produce the best candles in the business, in many of the same ways Tammy Jo and Mark used to do it!

Long-Lasting Jar Candles

Lil’ Flickers scented candles are container candles that are placed in a 16-ounce jar. Their scented candles are single wick jar candles, which allows each candle to have an extra long burning time; the average burn time is about 110-115 hours. Their burn time, which averages about 7 hours per ounce of wax, is one of the highest in the industry!

Each candle is also hand-poured, making the scents disperse evenly and powerfully all the way through the candle, from the first lighting of the wick to the bottom of the jar.

Fabulous Scents

Lil’ Flickers Candle Company carries a fabulous array of scents.  From fruity to traditional to woodsy and holiday scents, your customers will have no problem finding the scent that matches their aroma preferences!

Take the Bird of Paradise candle for example. This beautifully made candle features the scents of ripe berries and orchard fruits, candied citrus laced with coconut, and a hint of vanilla sugar. This scent will not only freshen your home, it will also make your mouth water as you imagine feasting on an array of decadent fruits and deserts!

Wanting something a bit more woodsy? Try the Rocky Mountain Cedar candle. This amazing candle features the scents of cedar mingled with hints of pine, oak and fresh juniper blended with a soft floral smell. It’s perfect for a cozy cabin in the woods, or recreating the great outdoors at an apartment in the city.

Pina Colada

If you want to feel like you’re enjoying a relaxing vacation on an exotic beach, you need to experience the Pina Colada candle. It only takes one whiff of this creamy coconut milk and pineapple scented candle to be carried off to a tropical beach paradise.

Block Wax Melters

Don’t want to burn a candle, or can’t where you currently live? Don’t worry, Lil’ Flickers has you covered there as well. Their block wax melters are the perfect solution for flame-free zones. These wax blocks melt evenly, just like their famous candles, and come in all of the beautifully aromatic scents that the jar candles do. They’re great for filling up a home or office with a warming scent!

Scented Blocks

Lil’ Flickers Candle Co. doesn’t skimp out when it comes to quality, value, and alluring scents! Try them today and see why they’re a step above the rest of the competition!
