In or Out? It’s your choice.

Spring, and then summer, are fast approaching and without question we’ll find ourselves spending more and more time in our yards, on our patios and decks soaking up as much of the sun’s  warmth and  inviting evenings as we can.  In recent years our outdoor areas have become an important extension of the homes interior design schemes and here at Laguna Candles we’re all about taking indoor things outside to see how they transform our perceptions.

It makes no difference whether you’re using your outdoor space for entertaining or enjoying a cup of tea.  Make it even more inviting, and special, by bringing your favorite scented candles from indoors to the outdoors.  Remember your outdoor space can be just as cozy and inviting as the indoors.  The options are endless and who says candles are only for use in the house.   Breathe new life into these outdoor areas with scented candles in beautiful vessels.

Whether you prefer a pillar candle in an elegant hurricane or a beautiful, hand-blown vessel like our Heirloom Candle, which can be used both as an indoor and outdoor candle, you’ll make a statement.  We fill these vessels with our proprietary blend of soy, palm & coconut wax infused with our custom scents.  High quality candles help to relax you and gently stimulate your memories of good times past and present.

What Customers Want From a Candle

There is no getting around it, customers want quality in the way a candle looks and, more importantly, in the fragrance that they throw. The quality of the throw, or the way a candle scents a room or any environment to create ambiance is a major factor that every candle maker must seriously take into consideration.  Additionally, the appearance, price and burn quality are also key factors that consumers look for.  To insure our candles burn clean Laguna Candles uses only cotton wicks, natural, premium waxes like coconut, palm and soy combined with essential oils for fragrance.

So what is it about candles that make them both a popular gift and home accessory for so many people, The national Candle Associates reports that 70% of all households burn candles and that doesn’t include candle accessories! I’ll tell you why candles are so popular, candles make us feel good; they brighten our day; they bring a decorative style to our homes and create ambiance and elegance.

Laguna Candles creates varied and complex scents,  we want our candle to exude personality and become an economical and functional way to enhance your decor. We understand that candles are an emotional purchase and that they influence the mood of your home. We put all the love and care into our product so that you’ll never be disappointed when you choose to invest in Laguna Candles.

And,  did I mention we’re made in the USA and proud of it!
