Gin and Tonic (pine + lime + ginger)

Bright and sparkly, just like its namesake cocktail, this scent creates an invigorating, lively atmosphere ideal for parties. And though it smells like a classic gin and tonic, burning this candle will never make you say anything regrettable or impulse buy an above-ground pool online. 

THE CONTAINER'S SHOP

This hand-poured soy wax candle is in a reused can, meaning that no materials, energy, or waste goes into producing the container. I gather the cans from my own kitchen; friends, family, and customers; and a generous Chicago recycling center. I clean each one, transforming them from trash into a shiny, new candle holder.

As part of the Jewel Collection, the reused can is hand painted beryl and accented with gold-leaf polka dots. Its clean, simple design complements a variety of home decor styles, and adds a pop of color to mantels, dining room tables, and shelves. 

Because soy wax washes out easily with soap and hot water, you can reuse the stylish can as a pen holder or planter.

ABOUT SOY WAX

Soy wax is a natural, renewable alternative to traditional paraffin wax, which is made with coal or the same petroleum used to make plastic and motor oil. Because it is made from soy beans, soy wax is a sustainable resource that burns clean with none of the petrol-carbon soot that blackens walls, ceilings, and furniture. Beyond the environmental benefits, soy wax also burns longer than other kinds of wax, and soy candles boast a more powerful scent-throw to fill your room.
