Pour candles. Design your own blooms. Celebrate Mom🌸
Saturday, May 9 | 11am–1pm

Bring (or treat!) mom or a cherished mother figure and enjoy a hands-on workshop. We’re so excited to partner with our friends at for a special experience designed to feel thoughtful, creative, and memorable.

With guidance from our expert candle chandler, you’ll each create two custom-scented soy candles while enjoying drinks and light bites in our cozy studio.

To make the day even more special, Eve Floral Co. is bringing the blooms. Each guest will get to create their own stunning bud vase arrangement using fresh, seasonal flowers from their lush floral bar.

What’s included:
• A guided candle-making experience where each guest will create two 11 oz custom-scented soy candles (same scent)
• A DIY bud vase filled with locally grown blooms from Eve Floral Co.’s flower bar
• Light bites, coffee, tea, water, and festive drinks
• 20% off all in-store merchandise during the event
• A free 3 oz tin candle to take home (scent of your choice)

Seats are limited, and this event is expected to fill quickly.

We’ve been busy prepping for this Saturday’s candle sale and are so excited!

Here’s a quick overview of what to expect, but let us know what questions you have in the comments.

Why we do this sale?
We’re committed to making the best quality product we can while also avoiding excess waste whenever possible. We have high standards, but we make mistakes sometimes. And with the growth of our custom business, we occasionally end up with more leftover fragrances than we’re used to.

🕯️ Oops Candles
These candles have something visually off, so we’re marking them wayyy down. Maybe the wax yellowed or the label got smudged. They will still burn beautifully, but don’t meet our strict standards.
Let our mistakes be your treasures.

🕯️ Limited Edition Candles
We have so many incredible, completely one-of-a-kind candles for you. We make sure to use up every ounce of custom fragrance we order and have created amazing new candles combining these!
Once these candles are gone, they’re gone for good.

The nitty gritty:
• The first 20 people will receive a FREE Manitou tote. (After that, Manitou totes will be available for purchase)
• No refunds on Limited Edition or Oops candles
• We will have boxes available (free, but limited per customer) and totes for purchase. Feel free to bring your own boxes too
• No discounts can be used on Oops or Limited Edition candles
• We will have a candle bundle deal for tin candles only
• Each candle will have a color sticker on the bottom indicating the price. Color-coded signs will be posted around the shop
• Spend $150 or more and you’ll be entered to win an amazing basket filled with some of our current favorite goodies from the shop

Thank you for helping us give these candles another life, reduce waste, and keep perfectly good products out of the landfill🌍

Doors open at 10am.
Let us know in the comments if you’re planning on joining us!

Earth Month is a reminder that small actions add up 🌎

For the month of April, we’re increasing the discount when you bring back your empty Manitou glass candles to be reused. When you redeem a token, you’ll receive 20% off your candle purchase (instead of the usual 10% listed on the token).

A few reminders about our Glass Recycling Program:
🌱 Must be an empty Manitou glass. We do not accept other containers
🌱 Discount can be used toward candles only and not on other items in our store
🌱 Returning more than one glass? You’ll receive multiple tokens for future visits

At Manitou Candle Co., we’re also proud to donate 1% of all sales to environmental causes through our commitment to 1% for the Planet, this month and all year long 🌿

Some of the best memories are made when people gather and create something special together 🕯️

Our private candle making classes are relaxed, creative, and genuinely fun. They’re the kind of experience where conversation flows easily, laughter comes naturally, and everyone leaves feeling a little more connected.

Whether it’s a work team, a group of friends, or a family get-together, it’s a chance to slow down, unplug, try something new, and spend meaningful time together.

Reserve the space all to yourselves. Our private classes are:
• Groups of 8–20
• About 2 hours
• BYO food & drink
• Held right here in our cozy Columbia Tusculum studio

To reserve, email [email protected] with 2–3 dates and times you’re interested in.

Have a group of 8 or less? Sign up for our public candle making classes anytime on our website for the same amazing experience!
