A quiet luxury for those who would always choose one more chapter.
Escape into the pages of your favorite story with I’d Rather Be Reading, an elevated book lover candle inspired by rainy afternoons, cozy reading nooks and the timeless atmosphere of a beautifully aged library.
Warm, aromatic clove opens the fragrance with a subtle touch of spice, melting into rich cedarwood and earthy moss. Together, these sophisticated notes create a deeply comforting woodsy candle that feels like polished bookshelves, worn pages, rain against the windows, and hours with nowhere else to be.
Designed for slow mornings, quiet evenings, and uninterrupted reading sessions, this luxury scented candle transforms your space into a cozy literary retreat. Whether you're curled up with a new novel or simply craving a moment of stillness, I’d Rather Be Reading invites you to put the world on pause and stay awhile.
A beautiful addition to any reading nook, home library, or book inspired decor, this candle also makes a thoughtful gift for book lovers, readers, writers, librarians, and candle enthusiasts.
Because sometimes the best place to be is between the pages.

Materials + Care
Every candle is thoughtfully crafted with an emphasis on quality, beauty, and intention.
Our candles are poured into purposeful, thoughtfully selected jars designed to complement your space long after the candle is lit. Each candle features a lead free cotton wick and is scented with the highest quality fragrance oils, carefully chosen to create an elevated and lasting fragrance experience.
Every candle arrives with its own coordinating lid, helping to preserve the fragrance between burns while keeping your candle beautifully finished.
-
To enjoy your candle safely and beautifully, trim the wick to approximately ¼ inch before each burn. On the first burn, allow the wax to melt evenly across the surface to help prevent tunneling. Avoid burning your candle for more than 4 hours at a time, and never leave a burning candle unattended.
When your candle has finished its final burn, allow the vessel to cool completely. With proper care, your jar can be thoughtfully repurposed and given a second life.
-
From the moment your candle is poured to the moment it arrives at your doorstep, every detail is considered. Each candle is carefully wrapped and beautifully boxed, creating an unboxing experience that feels just as special as the candle itself.
Thoughtfully made. Beautifully presented. Meant to be enjoyed.

Love Letters
"They're the only thing we burn in the house. They last FOREVER and the smell actually carries throughout the whole house. Bonus points that they're made by you. I also love giving them as gifts because of the cute names and being natural candles. The fact that they're locally made by one of the nicest humans is the cherry on top.
