The Tropical Paradise Fishbowl | 14oz Long-Lasting Seascape Gel Candle with Real Shells & Starfish
Details
Capture the expansive beauty of a tropical reef with our Tropical Paradise Fishbowl. This 14oz masterpiece isn't just a candle; it’s a vivid, hand-poured "aquarium" that glows from within. Housed in a charming round fishbowl glass, each candle features a meticulously curated seascape of real beach sand, hand-picked seashells, and delicate starfish, all suspended in crystal-clear gel.
Why It’s a Game Changer:
- Double the Glow: Because gel wax is mineral oil-based, it burns up to twice as long as soy or paraffin. Enjoy approximately 80 hours of serene, ocean-inspired light.
- You Pick the Scent: Customize your escape! Whether you crave the saltiness of the sea or the sweetness of the tropics, the fragrance is entirely up to you.
- Art That Matters: With every purchase, a portion of our sales is donated to animal rescue and wildlife charities. You’re not just lighting up your home; you’re helping protect the creatures that share our planet.
- Handcrafted in Small Batches: Every "fish tank" is unique, ensuring your piece of paradise is one-of-a-kind.

Candle Care (Preserving the Paradise)
- The Perfect Trim: Keep your wick trimmed to 1/4" before every light to ensure the flame stays small and the gel remains crystal clear.
- Clear Sight: Burn within sight at all times. The fishbowl shape provides a beautiful wide glow, but always keep it on a heat-resistant surface.
- The "Oil Candle" Secret: Since gel is essentially mineral oil, the flame is steady and soot is minimal. Simply sit back and watch the light dance through the shells.
The Journey
1. Processing Time
- Small Batches Take Time: Please allow 3–5 business days for us to craft, cure, and package your candles.
- Personalized Orders: For "Secret Message" or custom concrete candles, processing may take up to 7 business days to ensure the perfect finish.
- We ship Monday through Friday. Orders placed on weekends or holidays will be processed starting the next business day.
2. Estimated Shipping Rates (Domestic US)
Shipping is calculated at checkout based on total weight and destination. Here is a general guide:

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. Tracking Your Magic
The moment your candles are on their way, you will receive a shipping confirmation email with a tracking number. You can track the order directly from the carrier's website.

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!
