My first candles ever when I joined bookstagram were from Dio Candle Company and I was very excited to see them start a subscription candle box! I finally decided to purchase one and while I thought the box was going to be all Stranger Things related (misunderstanding on my end!) I was still so happy with what I received.
So because it’s been a hot minute since I’ve reviewed a candle box I’m going to break the mold and do things a bit differently. Pictured above are all of the candles and their corresponding candles and exclusives. The candles that were included were “And Unusual: Beetlejuice In The Attic” which smells like “vibrant citrus mixed with that distinctive aroma of a dusty old attic.” And it includes this minimalist style stick of the infamous beetlejuice outfit from LauraStitesArt. Since the company does not normally make stickers I estimate the price to be less than $5. If you want the art print just go to the artist’s website! The other candles featured in the box were Things: Eggo Waffles in the Upside Down which smells like the “sweetness of Eleven and her favorite eggo waffles mixed with a little darkness from the upside down”, Bellatrix Le which smells like “coastal waters from Azkaban, fibers from her wand, and just a bit of expensive hair serum fragrance from those luscious evil curls”, and Doctor: Sorcerers Supreme which smells like “exotic herbs from around the world carefully measured and blended with ancient amber and sandalwood”. Candles on the website are available for $4.50-$5 each in the regular size. The company also has an extra adorable size which is almost twice as big.
Estimated Price of the Box: $23-$25
Verdict: While this box doesn’t exceed the price point, the point of this box is to gather the pieces to enter giveaways sponsored by the company. There are many ways to win coupon codes or free items from this shop and the challenges on the back of each card are fun to create. There is even a number on the back of the November theme card which the company owner is using to give out more awesome gifts. Besides, the scents are amazing and the candles, while small, are vibrant enough to hold their own in bookstagram photos. I absolutely love this company and I loved this box. I can’t wait to participate in the little challenges!
