Happening Now

As a response to the shelter-in-place orders of COVID19, we've taken a BIG step with our business and are excited to now be selling our candles directly to you online, for the first time ever!  Chose from our 9 themed boxed sets, designed to deliver fabulous fragrances right to your door.  Or the door of a dear friend in need of some unexpected happy mail!   With a flat shipping rate of just $3 per box set, you may want to order more than one.  Every set comes with a super cute free box of  matches too!

While this wasn't in the biz plan for 2020(especially with a brand new baby boy just born!) we feel it's necessary to keep our business afloat during these truly strange times we find ourselves in.   We love making candles and we truly love you all for supporting us as a Minnesota handmade business.  We know the virus is scary, but we're already seeing silver linings in the form of creativity, generosity and an increasing abundance of community spirit!  Again, thank you for your support!

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.
