🍯 Gratitude Amber Jar

If our shoppe had a mayor, it would be this candle. The Gratitude Amber Jar is the one we feature on our homepage, the one readers write to us about, and the one we reorder for ourselves before we've finished the last one. The recipe is simple and it works: warm amber glass that turns any flame the color of honey, a honey-and-sandalwood scent that fills a room without shouting over it, and a generous 45-hour burn.
We call it the "thank-you candle," and it earns the title two ways. First, light it for yourself: this is the official candle of the gratitude list. Set it on the table on Sunday evening, open a notebook, and write down three things — small ones count double. The scent does something clever here; honey and sandalwood smell the way thankfulness feels, warm and a little sweet and steady underneath. Second, give it away: when someone deserves a thank-you that lasts longer than a card — the teacher, the nurse, the neighbor with the snowblower — this jar says it for forty-five hours straight.
The photograph at left is why people keep this one on the kitchen table straight through winter: the amber glass doesn't just hold the candle, it broadcasts it, laying a warm gold light over everything within arm's reach. It is very difficult to be cynical inside that circle of light. We've tried.
Your jar arrives handwrapped, with this candle's quote card tucked into the tissue: "Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others." — Cicero. If it's a gift, tell us in the order form and we'll add a handwritten note free of charge — this is, after all, the thank-you candle.
