Finally Fall!

Finally some relief from the high temps!  An overcast day, cool showers and favorite fragrances to burn!  We've been adding new fall scents each week.  This time of year calls for warm and inviting spices.   Another popular fragrance type is home baked goods ~ butter, sweet and mouth-watering fragrances fill your home.  Stop in today and try something new!

Recycle Those Jars!

Don't throw your candle jars in the trash - clean them out, bring them in and get a little money off your next candle purchase!  We only accept glass that is candle safe and crystal clean!

The Perfect Gifts

Consumable gifts are meant to be used up, not stashed in a closet for the next yard sale. Consumable gifts are meant to be enjoyed for a short while. Then, they’re over, done and gone. What remains are the memories, and that’s what makes consumable gifts such a great idea. Here are several reasons why you should give a Marion Lane Candle gift:

1. No storage. Consumable gifts, because they are quickly used up, don’t carry expectations. Even though MLC products are long-lasting and burn forever it seems - until they’re gone :<( they don't have to be displayed, used, adored or maintained for the recipient's lifetime. I hate feeling obligated in that way, and I'll bet you do, too.

2. One size fits all. You don’t have to wonder if your gift from Marion Lane Candles will fit the recipient. Everyone loves a gift from MLC. If you can’t decide on a fragrance, gift certificates are the way to go. Then, the MLC gals will package it up with ribbons and bows and away you go! Or, give the gift of an experience, a gift certificate to make candles during the “Make It - Take It” open hours or host a party in their honor - everyone makes candles, sings the birthday song, eats cake…(hope I can sneak in on that!)

3. Allows a bit of decadence. While MLC is a family store, I find great pleasure in picking out the fragrances that “sound naughty” like Man In a Jar, Midnight Cowboy, Passionate Kisses… And that’s what makes naughty, nice smelling gifts from Marion Lane Candles so great!

4. Saves money. Marion Lane Candles has consumable gifts to fit just about any budget! You can spend only a few bucks and come up with a gift that is really fabulous. Try doing that at the mall.
