Style Overview

The scratch of a match, a curl of warm scent, and a flame that settles in. Our boho candles make a room feel brand new in ten unhurried minutes, with colorful glass jars, hand-drawn labels and playful prints that look just as sweet on a shelf as they do glowing. Even the matchboxes get the full Natural Life treatment! Spread that cozy feeling from room to room with the rest of our happy home collection.

Jar Candles, Votives & One Sweet Secret

Our jar candles bring the big, steady glow, and their colorful glass looks gorgeous with low autumn light passing through it. Hang one of our shimmery sun catchers in the same window and the whole corner turns into a tiny light show. Votives are the fun-size option, perfect for lining a windowsill, tucking onto a bookshelf or clustering three across the mantel for a soft, twinkly glow.

Start with the room and let the scent follow. A bold print earns its spot on an open shelf where the artwork shows, while a softer palette settles into a bedside corner. Because the jars are decorative on their own, they keep working even during the day when nothing is lit.

Then there's the Secret Message Candle, and honestly, we can't get enough of it! A hidden message waits inside and only reveals itself as the wax melts down. You never know exactly when the words will appear, which turns an ordinary evening burn into a tiny event. It's everyday magic, the kind we love to make, and it's an absolute delight to tuck under the tree.

Matchboxes Worth Leaving Out

Most matchboxes live in the back of a junk drawer. Ours want to be seen, with collectible designs and playful artwork covering every box. Line a few up on the mantel, prop one against a stack of cookbooks, or corral your favorites on one of our sweet trinket dishes right beside the jar it lights.

They make the sweetest finishing touch on a present, too. Tie a matchbox onto a wrapped candle and you've handed someone a whole slow-evening starter kit. Plenty of the Natural Life Family collect the prints the way you'd collect postcards, and we fully support that habit!

Rotating them is part of the charm. Swap in warmer artwork when the leaves turn, something festive for December, and brighter florals when spring shows up. Keep the rest in a drawer where they still make you happy every time you reach for a strike.

Give the Jar a Second Life

The colorful glass jars are half the reason we love making these. When the last of the wax is gone, clean the jar out and let it start its second act somewhere new in your home. A gentle wash usually does the trick, and the sturdy glass holds up beautifully to a new job.

Use it as a pen cup on your desk, a catch-all for hair ties and rings, or a holder for a few stems of dried fall flowers alongside our sweet vases and planters. Smaller jars are great for paper clips, bobby pins or spare buttons in the craft drawer. The labels are so charming that some of us line the empties up on a shelf like a tiny gallery. Waste not, glow often!

Our Candles & Matches

Our candles and matches bring together colorful glass jar candles, sweet little votives and collectible matchboxes covered in boho prints, all made to add a warm, happy glow to your everyday moments. We love that every hand-drawn label and playful print turns a simple candle into a little treasure worth displaying!

FAQs

What kinds of candles will I find in this collection?

You'll find glowing jar candles in colorful glass, little votives that love to travel from room to room, and our showstopper, the Secret Message Candle, which hides a surprise inside. Every one wears sweet artwork and a playful boho print, so these treasures double as decor even before you strike a match on a chilly fall night.

What is the Secret Message Candle?

It's one of our favorite things we've ever made! A hidden message is tucked inside, and it slowly reveals itself as the wax melts down. You never know quite when the words will surface, which makes every evening with it feel like a small celebration. It's especially fun to give, since the surprise arrives long after the wrapping paper is gone.

How do I take care of my candle?

Keep it simple and safe. Give the wick a little trim before each use, let the wax melt evenly all the way across the top on your first burn, and set the jar on a sturdy, heat-safe surface away from drafts, pets and curious little hands. Never leave a lit candle unattended, and check any care notes included with yours for the full details.

Do candles and matchboxes make good gifts?

They're some of our favorite hostess and housewarming gifts! A jar candle feels generous all on its own, and a matchbox tied on top makes it feel complete. They're perfect little gifts for teachers, neighbors and Friendsgiving hosts, and a Happy Bag turns the jar and its matchbox into one present you can hand over as is.

Can I mix different prints and colors together?

Yes, please do! Our prints are designed to play nicely with each other, so a votive in one pattern looks right at home beside a jar in another. Cluster odd numbers together, vary the heights, and let the colors mingle across the shelf or down the Thanksgiving table. If you love that collected-over-time look, mixing is the whole fun.
