Cozy Candle Collection for Literary Lovers

Back to school is just days away here in the Pacific Northwest, and what a better way to inspire our teachers for all the young minds they mold than by giving them a little gift. No, we don’t mean any red apple plaques, sticky notes, or erasers. Yes, even the red apples with the cutest green worms peaking out are arguably passé.

We have the perfect cozy solution with the Paddywax Library Collection of candles.

Trade the red apples, and other more clique gifts, for something the teacher in your life will really love, like one of these fun candles that they can burn all fall as they grade papers.

Each candle features a classic author, including a famous quote and scent that many of our customers can attest to smells just like that author should! Whether you are looking for something earthy, floral, or sweet there is a candle here for everyone.

Candle scents we currently carry are:

  • William Shakespeare (with notes of eucalyptus, sweet lime, and cardamom)
  • Louisa May Alcott (with notes of cyclamen, cherry blossoms, and orange flower)
  • Ralph Waldo Emerson (with notes of sweet orange, clove bud, and chilled ozone)
  • John Steinbeck (with notes of black raspberry, apple, and nectarine)
  • Jane Austen (with notes of citrus zest, sparkling aldehydes, and coconut water)
  • Mark Twain (with notes of orange, cinnamon, and tobacco)
  • Edgar Allan Poe (with notes of nutmeg, cinnamon leaf, and dewy greens)
  • Oscar Wilde (with notes of mandarin, lime, and peppermint)
  • Leo Tolstoy (with notes of cinnamon, orange zest, and plum)

We love how each scent is so unique, and so fitting to the author they celebrate. These candles are a great fall gift for the reader in your life, whoever that may be! Whether you are looking for a back-to-school gift, a birthday present, or a little self-indulgence, we think you are going to love this collection.

If you have been eyeing this collection, now is the time to come down to Retreat and pick out a candle! We will be offering customers 15% off their Paddywax Library Collection purchases for a limited time!
