Spring is Coming?
Yes, eventually.
We just had another blizzard. Let's face it; winter in Minnesota is LONG. We still have a ways to go, and that's ok! We're tough. We're snow bunnies! We shake our hockey hair defiantly in the cold wind, right? Or maybe you're one of the lucky ones who get's to fly south for a quick vacation. Regardless, we've launched on our "spring" collection of candles. Or should we just call it the "late winter" collection? Hmmm...
This collection celebrates the long awaited Minnesota spring season. Check it out HERE.

Don't forget to
trim your wick!
every time
Our #1 candle tip is this: TRIM YOUR WICK
After each burn, once the wax has cooled, it's important to remove the black crumbling ash before relighting. You can use a wick trimmer, a scissors, or even just pinch off as much as you can with your fingers. Removing the excess ash makes relighting easier, keeps the flame at a safe height, and prevents smoking of the jar. The wax also burns more efficiently so your candle will last longer too! Now that's advice we can all get behind!
Want a fancy wick trimmer like the one in the photo? We've got you covered here.

About Us
What's in a name?
'Sota Cracklers! It's a terrible, terrible pun... so of course we went with it! Actually the name of our made-in-Minnesota candles is partly derived from the crackling wooden wicks we use! We're also BIG fans of Minnesota & proud to call the state our home! That's why our scents are named after places & things that are uniquely Minnesotan, like our piney Northwoods scent, or our cheeky Mosquito Bite scent made with citronella & mint.
We value quality, craftsmanship, & beautiful design. We strive to bring you a bit of nature with our crackling wood wicks, set into naturally smoke-less soy wax candles, which fit brilliantly into any modern or traditional home decor. Our wood wicks are responsibly sourced from US forests & our wax is also made from American grown soy beans. All our candles are carefully poured by hand, in small batches, in our St. Paul home studio for your enjoyment.
