Gold Hill Candle Co {Natural soy candles deliverd monthly}
Caring for children, cleaning a house, running errands… these are all things moms have to do everyday, and everyday we go to bed forgetting to do something for ourselves. Some days I skip my shower (probably most days) or fall asleep in my clothes wherever I find myself finally sitting to rest. Something I don’t usually do everyday, or most days, is pamper myself, or even make the time to buy things for myself that I need or enjoy. However, I really, really love candles. If there is something I do almost everyday, it’s burning a candle. Candles make me feel like my life is clean, wonderful, and put together- even when it very much so is not. I feel refreshed and relaxed and generally happy when I can breathe in the delightful scents of a good quality candle.
I already love monthly subscription boxes in my home, for food and books and everything else it seems, but I hadn’t yet found a candle subscription box I loved. When I discovered Gold Hill Candle Co. I fell instantly in love with the idea that every month I could receive something just for me that I could enjoy everyday- my favorite thing- candles!
Of course, I didn’t just fall in love with Gold Hill Candle Co. because they send you candles- Gold Hill creates the most fantastic and unique scents, which are 100% natural soy and hand poured in the Napa Valley! The scents are strong and vibrant and fill your entire home!
Subscribers will receive two unique candles every month for $50, with free shipping. The candles are seasonally based, and you will always receive new candle scents each month when you subscribe to this box. In this month’s box I received Belgian Linen and Tomato Leaf. I will describe them as best as I can, but you really need to smell them for yourself to truly understand how wonderful they are!
Tomato Leaf smells exactly as the label depicts, of a fully ripened tomato vine freshly plucked from the garden. It’s herbaceous and fresh and reminds me of sitting in the garden on a summer day with my children. I could let this burn all day and just enjoy the delicious, life-like scent, with a handful of juicy, sweet cherry tomatoes and a glass of my favorite wine. I’ve never smelled a candle that was as garden fresh as this one!
I really enjoyed eating all these tomatoes while this candle burned the afternoon away! And the wood wicks are a wonderful feature in all their candles as well.
Belgian Linen is equally as fresh, but 100% different. I love that the candles in this box were so starkly different so I could really enjoy completely unique scents. This scent is reminiscent of sun-bleached linen, with a touch of lemon blossom and fragrant notes of white tea. When burning this candle I think of warm spring days relaxing in the sun, sipping fresh iced tea on my patio while watching the kids play in the yard.
This candle is also wonderful on a slow Sunday afternoon while you enjoy reading your favorite magazine- the scent is just so timeless and relaxing.
For those who not only don’t have time to pamper themselves, but also are budget-conscious, Jessica, the creative mind behind Gold Hill Candle Co., is offering a one candle per month mini subscription box to “reach more people who aren’t able to spend so much on themselves.” At just $17 per month, and shipping also free, this box is a can’t miss subscription box that really can be enjoyed by all. I love that Rachel really wants to see everyone able to enjoy a luxury candle- no matter their budget!
I would definitely recommend this subscription box to anyone who LOVES candles, appreciates natural 100% soy contents, likes to support small, locally owned businesses, and who needs something relaxing and delightful to enjoy when maybe you just don’t have time to pamper yourself- or if you just enjoy the surprise of someone else sending you something nice. Gold Hill Candle Co. is all of those things- definitely one of my personal favorite subscription boxes ever!

I cannot give a more negative review of a vendor. I purchased four candles from Gold Hill and had an issue with two candles (one had no scent when lit and the other the wick — a wood sliver wick– wouldn’t lite). I wrote to them twice and received no reply over several weeks. When I posted a somewhat disappointed review on their IG page I was blocked from their page within seconds. It was crazy. I’ve never seen a small business owner work like that. Completely unwilling to address a new customer’s concerns. I spent $138. Be warned!

Hi David! I am really sorry to hear that you had such a negative experience with this vendor! I completely understand how frustrated and upset you must be. I appreciate you taking the time to read my blog, and leave your honest opinion on this post. I hope that you are able to work it out, and have a better experience in the future. 🙂

I contacted Paypal to dispute the charge and then heard back from the owner of Gold Hill. Ultimately she unblocked me from her Instagram page and has said she will refund me for the lavender candle. An unusual experience as I do a lot of business with small businesses and had never encountered anything like it…but we are resolved. Thanks!
Bree
I am so happy to hear that you at least were able to come to a resolution! 🙂 Have a wonderful rest of your week! 🙂

Do you still get these candles every month? I was going to check out the subscription boxes but when I click on your links they go to a “register a domain” site. I can’t find them by Googling either. Thank you!

I am so sorry Lee Ann! She just announced yesterday she is closing her shop immediately. I will be archiving this post. I recommend you checkout https://www.bridgewayscentedmarket.com/store/ for AMAZING candles, and use code rain10 to save 10%. Thank you for reading!

What a coincidence that was! Thank you for the new recommendation and link. Will check them out for sure.
