Our Purpose:

What began as a simple passion has blossomed into a purposeful journey—creating hand-crafted candles that bring comfort and a touch of nature into every home. Each candle is made with intention, love, and a deep connection to the natural beauty that inspires me in all aspects of my life.

 The calming effect of candlelight has always intrigued me. Escaping into a daydream through particular scents has deepened this passion, and I hope to share it with others. Blending candle fragrances allows me to connect with memories, create self-care experiences, and enhance moods. 


Our Mission:

At Northern Wicks and Woods, each scent captures moments, evoking emotions and memories of the North through the changing seasons.

We take pride in our candles, which are crafted from 100% natural soy wax and clean cotton wicks. We use cruelty-free and clean ingredients to illuminate your space with care and purpose. We invite you to experience the natural scents of the North. Our products delight in the beauty of the great outdoors and northern traditions, bringing a touch of nature and nostalgia into your home.
