Choose any three
Mix the five scents however you like — three of the same is fine, nobody will judge.
The Lineup
Five 8 oz soy candles at $28 each, plus a three-candle gift set. Every candle is poured by hand in small batches, so what you order was made recently — not warehoused. Scent notes are listed plainly, no clinical claims.

Two people, one kitchen table, one pour at a time
Harbor Lane Candles is a home studio run by the two of us. We melt the soy wax, weigh the fragrance, center the wicks, and label every jar ourselves — no co-packer, no third shift. Small batches mean we can smell every pour and throw out the ones that aren't right.
We pour on Tuesdays
One table, one melter, about forty jars at a time. If a scent sells out it comes back the following week — we would rather run out than stockpile.
Soy, cotton, fragrance. That is the list.
Natural soy wax, a cotton wick we center by hand, and fragrance oil weighed on a kitchen scale. No dyes, no additives for a glossy top, no claims about what a candle can do for you.
Every batch gets smelled
Cold throw on pour day, hot throw on a test jar before it ships. Batches that are off get burned down at home and never make it to a box.
Made to be given
The three-candle gift set is our holiday anchor: choose any three scents, and we box them with tissue and a card. At checkout there's a gift note field — write what you want and we'll copy it onto the card by hand, with no prices anywhere in the package.
Tissue and a card
Each jar is wrapped, nested in a kraft box, and sealed with a card on top. It can be shipped straight to them.
A note in our handwriting
The gift note field at checkout gets copied onto the card by hand, in ink, exactly as you typed it.
No prices anywhere
Packing slips go in the shipping email, never in the box. They will never see what you paid.
Shipping, warm weather, and burning them well
Plain language, no fine print games. Here's when your candles leave our table, what happens if they travel through heat, and how to get the longest clean burn out of an 8 oz soy jar.
- Ships in 2–3 business days
- Orders placed before Thursday usually leave the same week via USPS Ground Advantage. Holiday weeks we post the last order date on the shop page.
- Warm weather, honestly
- Soy softens above about 85°F. From June through September we hold packages over weekends and add a cold pack to the hot-state routes, but we cannot promise a jar never gets warm in a truck.
- If it arrives soft or frosted
- Let it sit flat and cool for four hours — the surface will reset and burn fine. If a jar arrives cracked or the wax has pulled badly, email us a photo and we will repour it, no return needed.
- The first burn sets the rest
- Burn until the melt pool reaches the glass, roughly two to three hours. Trim the wick to a quarter inch every time after. An 8 oz jar gives you about 50 hours.
Buying for someone else? Start here
Most of our orders are gifts, and most gift buyers have never smelled the candle they're sending. This is how we'd match our five scents to the person you have in mind.
For the person whose house is always tidy
Low Tide Linen
Clean, bright, impossible to dislike. The default gift when you are unsure.
For the one who reads by lamplight
Dock Lantern
Warm amber and oak. Fills a small room without shouting.
For a hostess in December
Lane's End
Bayberry and cedar — holiday without cinnamon or sugar.
For someone who misses the ocean
Harbor Fog
Salt and driftwood. Nostalgic rather than tropical.
For a friend who likes a little sweetness
Beach Plum
Fruit with a dry edge, grown-up rather than candied.
