June 19th is Father's Day and it will be here before you know it and we want to help you find that special gift with our father's day gift guide! Dads are notoriously hard to buy for, so we’re here to help you with some gift ideas that may not be the first things you think about.

Whether you're shopping for your own dad, your husband, your partner, or your father figure, we guarantee there is a scent in this gift guide that will be accepted with open arms!

Our Gifts are for the Eco-Conscious
If you have a father who is into sustainability, any of our candles would make thoughtful gifts. All our candles are made with soy wax that is produced from soybeans grown and processed in the United States. To learn more about soy wax, read this blog post. After our candles have been burned through, the jars and tins can be reused for a multitude of purposes! Some ways we like to re-use our candles jars and tins are:
- Plant propagation containers or pot
