Large Secret Message Candle – 17oz Amber Glass with Dried Flowers & Crackling Wood Wick
Details
This is our most detailed candle yet. We use 100% natural soy wax, a crackling wood wick, and real flowers that we dry ourselves. The best part? A hidden message (up to 52 words) is tucked beneath the wax, slowly appearing within 10-20 minutes of burning. It’s a luxury experience that’s completely non-toxic and free of phthalates and paraffin.
How to Personalize: Just let us know the secret message you want to hide inside when you place your order.
The Specs:
- Wax: 100% Pure Soy Wax (Non-toxic & Cruelty-free).
- Wick: Natural Wood Wick (cozy crackling sound).
- Scent: Premium essential oil blends.
- Decor: Hand-dried local botanicals.
- Vessel: 17 oz amber glass jar with a gold metal lid.
- Size: Large – 4" W x 3.5" H (Net weight: 17 oz / 482 g).
- Reveal Time: 10–20 minutes depending on message length.
How to burn it safely:
- Trim the wood: Before lighting, trim the wood wick to 1/4 inch. This ensures a steady flame for the message reveal.
- The first burn: Let the wax melt all the way to the edges. This prevents "tunneling" and ensures you can see the message clearly.
- Watch the flowers: Since this candle contains dried botanicals, always burn it on a heat-resistant surface and keep an eye on the petals as the wax melts.
- 3-Hour Rule: Do not burn for more than 3 hours at a time. Let it cool for at least 2 hours before relighting.
- Weather Warning: During extreme heat or cold, please don't leave your package in the mailbox for too long to avoid wax frosting or melting.
- Safety first: Never leave unattended. Keep away from kids, pets, and anything flammable.

3. Delivery Estimates
Once your order leaves our Texas studio, standard shipping typically takes 3–7 business days to arrive, depending on your location.
4. The "Summer Melt" Policy
Soy wax is natural and has a lower melting point than paraffin. During hot summer months, soy candles can "sweat" or soften if left in a hot mailbox or on a porch for too long.
- Pro Tip: Please try to retrieve your package as soon as it arrives.
- If your candle feels soft, let it sit at room temperature for a few hours before lighting. This is a natural characteristic of eco-friendly wax and does not affect the scent or quality!

5. Scent Disclaimer
Choosing scents online can be tricky! While we do our best to describe our fragrances accurately, everyone’s nose is a little different. We do not offer refunds if you simply don't "like" the scent after the candle has been lit.
- Pro Tip: If you’re unsure, start with our 4 oz jars before committing to a larger centerpiece!
