Lavender Vanilla Ceramic Candle: The Blanket-and-a-Book Candle Save

Some evenings call for a candle, a blanket and absolutely nowhere to be. Our Lavender Vanilla Ceramic Candle was made for exactly those nights. Soft, herbal lavender meets warm, creamy vanilla for a scent that feels like a deep breath at the end of a long day.

The easy-to-love scent

Vanilla rounds off lavender's herbal edge, and lavender keeps vanilla from turning into frosting. Together they land somewhere cozy and familiar. If you are buying a candle for someone and have no idea what they like, this is the safe, well-liked choice. It suits every season and nearly every room, from the nightstand to the coffee table.

How long to burn it

Two simple rules cover most candle trouble:

  • Long enough: each time you light it, let the melted pool reach the edges of the vessel. Short burns leave a ring of unmelted wax that grows into a tunnel.
  • Not too long: a few hours at a stretch is plenty. Very long burns can make the wick mushroom and the flame grow tall. Blow it out, let it cool, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch and relight later.

As always, keep it on a heat-safe surface, away from drafts and curtains, and never leave it burning unattended.

Picking a size

Size Best for
Small, 5.1 oz Nightstands, bathrooms and a first try of the scent
Large, 12 oz Living rooms, bookshelves and long winter evenings

See the product page for current sizes and availability.

After the candle

The ceramic vessel cleans up easily for a second job. Once only a thin layer of wax remains, freeze it for an hour, lift out the wax, then wash it in warm, soapy water. It makes a good home for small plants (set inside a nursery pot with drainage), pens, rings or trinkets.

Gifting

Lavender Vanilla is our go-to for housewarmings, birthdays and thank-you gifts. Add a bar of matching wax melts or other farm favorites in the Gift Box Builder.
