How To Burn It Right

To ensure the best experience and a long-lasting burn, follow these care instructions for your natural soy wax candle:

  • Trim the Wick: Before lighting, trim the cotton wick to 1/4 inch to prevent soot and ensure a clean, even burn.
  • Burn Time: For the first use, let your soy candle burn until the melted wax reaches the edge of the jar (approximately 3-4 hours). This helps prevent tunneling and creates an even burn.
  • Safety First: Always burn your candle within sight and keep it away from children, pets, and anything flammable.
  • Avoid Drafts: Place your candle in a draft-free area to prevent uneven burning and excessive flickering.
  • Extinguish Properly: Use a candle snuffer or gently blow out the flame. Avoid using the lid to extinguish the candle as it can cause soot build-up.
  • Recenter the Wick: After extinguishing the flame, ensure the wick is centered and upright for the next burn.
  • Burn Time Limit: Do not burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Allow the candle to cool for at least 2 hours before relighting.
  • Reuse the Jar: Once your candle is finished, clean out the jar and repurpose it for storage or decor. Our amber glass jars are perfect for upcycling!

Customers praise this soy candle's "great smell" and describe it as "perfect" for game day celebrations. With multiple scent options, shoppers note the fragrance is subtle yet pleasant. Most find it an ideal gift for fans. However, some concerns include inconsistent packaging (no lid on some jars), smaller-than-expected size, and occasional wax quality issues with splattering.

I received 3 candles in my order - and 2 of the 3 were in jars with lids that were better for gifts. The Longhorn win candle is in a taller jar with no lid like the one pictured. But the vanilla smells great.

FAQ

Our Candles

What are your candles made of?

Natural soy wax, cotton wicks, US-sourced fragrance oils loaded at 6%. No phthalates, no parabens, no weird mystery ingredients. Just clean stuff that burns clean.

How long do they burn?
  • 4 oz: ~25 hours.
  • 9 oz: ~55 hours.
  • 13.75 oz: ~85 hours.

Your mileage may vary depending on whether you're a “burn it for 30 min” type or a “leave it on all weekend” type.

How strong is the scent?

Strong enough to be noticed, not strong enough to give your aunt a migraine. We load at 6% - balanced throw, not perfume-aisle-at-the-mall throw.

Are they safe?

Yes, if you don't do anything stupid. Keep them on a stable surface. Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before lighting. Don't leave a burning candle unattended. Don't try to drink the wax. Don't let the cat near the flame. You know the drill.

How do I get the most out of my candle?

First burn: let the wax pool to the edge of the jar (usually 2–4 hours). This sets the “memory” so your candle burns evenly forever. Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each burn. Don't burn for more than 4 hours at a time.

Shipping & Orders

How long does shipping take?

Orders ship within 1–3 business days from our New Hampshire workshop. US transit is usually 3–7 business days depending on where you are.

Do you ship internationally?

Currently US only. International shipping for candles is a whole thing — we're working on it. Email us if you want to be notified when it opens up.

Can I track my order?

Yes. Tracking info gets emailed the moment your label prints. Check spam if it's not in your inbox — our emails sometimes end up there.

My candle arrived broken / wrong / sad. What do I do?

Email hello@whimsicalwicksco.com with photos and your order number. We'll make it right. Promise.

Can I return it?

We accept returns on unused, unopened candles within 14 days of delivery. For full details check our Refund Policy page. If something arrived damaged or wrong contact us within 48 hours and we'll make it right immediately - no questions asked.

Everything Else

Will my house smell like candle for days?

If you burn it long enough, yes. That's kind of the point.

What's the difference between 4 oz, 9 oz, and 13.75 oz?

Burn time, price, and a little bit of personality.

  • The 4oz is your amber glass jar with black lid - the "I want to test this scent before committing" size, burning 25–30 hours.
  • The 9oz is also an amber glass jar with black lid - the "this is my new everyday candle" size, burning 40–60 hours.
  • The 13.75oz is a tall clear glass jar with no lid - the "I made it and I deserve this" size, burning 60–80 hours.

All three are hand-poured in New Hampshire with 100% natural soy wax.

Do you have a loyalty program?

Yes - Whimsical Points. Earn points on every order, redeem for discounts. Smart shoppers stack up fast.

Where do you source your scents?

All US suppliers, all loaded at 6% for a balanced throw. Check out Our Scents for the full lineup with notes and descriptions.

Can I light multiple candles at once?

Knock yourself out. Just don't light them so close that the heat melts each other's wax. Olfactory chaos is fine; structural damage is not.
