Candle store, Beauty product supplier, Gift shop in Coats, NC
Hand-poured soy wax candles and wax melts, made in small batches in Coats. The fragrance list is long and the names are the point — Boss Lady, Big Dawg, Enchanted, Morning Dew, Nirvana, I’m Speaking, Black Love, Royalty, Serenity, Purple Rain, Always My Mother — each blend paired with a meaning as well as a scent profile. Boss Lady is cashmere plum, bright citrus and black cherry over a dark plum heart, for "a WOMAN who gets life done and knows the beauty in balance". Enchanted layers honeysuckle and jasmine with tonka, balsam, rum and musk. Big Dawg is white sage, lavender and palo santo — sage, rosemary, chamomile and a hint of sandalwood, meant to calm and cleanse. Nirvana is mango and coconut milk over mahogany shea. There is also a Rendezvous massage oil candle made with cocoa butter, shea butter, jojoba and vitamin E. Beyond candles: carpet sprinkles at $17, wax melts from $8, canning jar candles at $22 and floral wax bouquets at $50, across roughly 35 products from about $5 to $120. A $25 monthly subscription box sends limited edition and best-selling fragrances, cancellable any time, and eGift certificates are available. Custom orders and out-of-state purchases go through the contact form, answered within 48 hours. The shop also sells wholesale through Faire. Note: this is a home-based maker selling online rather than a walk-in storefront, and no public opening hours are published.
Sapphire Candles was founded in 2020 by Sandra, who turned a passion for candle making and a love of mixing scents into a business and named it after her birthstone — sapphire, which she associates with fulfilment, joy, prosperity, inner peace and beauty. Everything is hand-poured in soy wax from Coats, North Carolina. The company’s stated aim is to be your soy wax, hand-poured candle-making company of choice, and its motto — "Light your inner VISION!" — sits alongside a verse from John 9:5 on the front of the shop. Alongside the retail range it sells wholesale through Faire and runs a monthly subscription for regulars. The site is careful about burn safety, publishing full guidance: trim the wick a quarter inch before every light, burn no more than three to four hours at a time, keep the candle clear of trimmings, and snuff rather than leave unattended.
