Obsessed is an understatement

Every candle, wax, oil, any product I buy from Happy Elephant is AMAZING! This candle did not disappoint! The smell and look and all the little details! I’m obsessed and I don’t even want to light it because I want to keep it forever!!!

Absolutely incredible

I make everyone who walks in my house smell this candle. I don’t even have to be burning it to smell it. It also burns for soooo long. And it smells just like fruit loops it’s so cool. 10/10 recommend getting this candle!

the happy box!

Lovely combination of an amazing candle and small gifts that instantly brought a smile to my face. I received one and then spread joy by sending one to a friend. She also loved it! Perfect box to raise the spirits.

lovely candle

I saw a friend on FB that received this candle from a friend and loved it. I purchased it for my daughter just a few days before Christmas and was tempted to keep it for myself, it was so pretty. Non the less I gave it to her and she was thrilled. It's lovely and smells great.

Just in time for christmas

My fiance had told me about this page during our Christmas shopping. Decided to look for myself as a last gift for my mom. After ordering I was directly contacted the next day to verify and arrange pick up. Not only was the customer service great but all of our products were well above expectation. Picture perfect and everyone who received them have raved about how great they smell. Definitely will be placing future orders!

beautiful + responsible

Handcrafted with quality ingredients

All candles + wax products are made of 100% natural soy wax, lead and zinc free cotton wicks, and clean fragrances and essential oils containing no harmful chemicals (free from all carcinogens, mutagens, and toxins that are present in almost ALL big box store candles and they are 100% phthalate-free). All products are hand designed and hand poured. Feel good about filling your home with incredible scents that also make unique, one of a kind decor pieces. Other products are also available including essential oil room sprays and roller balls, reed and car diffusers, soy wax melts, and more! Candles change seasonally and there is always something new coming soon!

We source as many ingredients and supplies as possible from small businesses and for any products we don't handmake ourselves, we purchase from other small and woman owned businesses.

Thank you SO much for your interest, support, and love. It truly means so much and we absolutely could not be chasing our dream without you! XOXO - Nikki, Owner
