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!

Ways to Reuse Laguna Candles Vessels
Our mission here at Laguna Candles is to provide a wonderful Eco friendly product, and that is why I thought I would make weekly suggestions as to how you can reuse our product. One of the unique ways to reuse our recyclable vessels would be display objects on shelves or counter tops, as we have done below.
One of benefits when using our Soy, Coconut and Palm wax candles , once you are done burning the candle just simply wash the container with soap and water and reuse it.

“Cause Candle” Ignites a Spirit of Giving
Laguna Candles was founded in 2003 by Sharie Hendricks and since it’s inception Sharie has always used Laguna Candles as a way to give. Sharie and staff volunteer throughout the community and a portion of proceeds from sells are donated to various charites and causes.
More recently Laguna Candles has come up with a way for individuals and organizations to give. 
The “Cause Candle” is contemporary collectable that combines the finest hand-blown glass with the purest 100% Soy wax available on the market today.
Our “Cause Candle” as a unique way to support your local or global cause. We encourage individuals, groups, organizations to purchase these candles in bulk amounts to be sold or given away at special events. We’ll make sure a portion of the proceeds go to you favorite cause or charity.
The “Cause Candle” is made from hand-blown glass, once the wax has completely burned use the glass vessel for what ever you like. This is a one of a kind piece of art that the recipient won’t want to part with, a memorable keepsake that will keep your cause or thought of your event alive for years to come.
We can consult with you to create a scent that is memorable and unique to your cause.
