Love these little candle pots!

Such a lovely idea to create a product that starts out as a candle and then when it’s gone, plant the seal and it become a planter! I almost can’t wait to plant my seeds! But for now I’ll keep enjoying the cozy candle!! They make great gifts! The packaging is just as beautiful!!

Favorite Candle Yet

We've gotten several Hyggelights over the years, and this is my favorite yet. The container is absolutely gorgeous, a wonderful accent piece in our mid century / scandi home. The Lilac scent is stunning - upon opening the box I could immediately smell the candle, and it makes our entire living room smell amazing. I liked it so much I got another identical gift for my mum for Mother's Day. 10/10

Small

The candle was smaller than I was expecting for the price. The coffee scent smells fantastic and the candle jar itself is really nice.

Wonderful gifts!

These are such a unique gift idea! I bought 3 jars- 2 for my best friends & one for my mom for Mothers Day- they all complimented the gift. It’s different than a typical candle or plant as it combines both & for me, it helped negate giving a typical gift that is a dust collector. I also appreciated supporting a small business & the unbelievably quick shipping! I ordered on a Sunday night and had it at my house in NY on Wednesday- perfect for a semi last minute gift shopper!

. Great candle.

I love lavender. Great candle, thank you

Surprise!

I absolutely love these candles plus the surprise of scents and containers! Sometimes it’s hard to choose when there are a lot of options so I like being surprised. My favorite scent I received was the coffee one—I could smell it as soon as I opened the package the order was shipped in. The best surprise of all was receiving an extra candle!! I only ordered 4 but got 5. Not sure what happened but I appreciate the gesture. I highly recommend this company!
