Frequently asked questions

How much do handmade candles cost in Annapolis?

Handmade candles from Annapolis shops usually run $15 to $40 depending on size, wax, and scent. Soy and beeswax cost more than paraffin but burn cleaner and longer.

What is the best type of candle wax?

Soy, coconut, and beeswax burn cleaner and longer than paraffin and hold scent well. Many Annapolis makers use them, so ask what a shop pours.

Why is my candle tunneling or burning too fast?

It is usually a wick or wax-pool issue. Trim the wick to about a quarter inch and let the first burn melt the top edge to edge. A good shop can recommend the right size.

Do Annapolis candle shops make custom scents or gift sets?

Many small makers offer custom scents, gift sets, and local pickup. Ask the shops above, as it is a common request for weddings and events.
