Spring Candles

are here!

January 2021

New Year, new candles!  After the rough year we’ve collectively experienced, we all have an overwhelming desire for self-care, rejuvenation, and optimism, and that is what our spring collection of candles is all about.  I’m SO excited to offer you this refreshing spa-inspired collection! These scents are vibrant and refreshing and reflect the hope that each new year brings!

New Stockist!

Happening Now

This year it's more important than ever before to mask up and  support our local brick and mortal shops! If you love shopping in downtown Excelsior, MN then stop by our newest stockist, Lake Effect and pick up some candles.   Leader in Cambridge, MN is now stocking our candles too! 

​

We are excited to have two new sister stores stocking our candles at the MSP Airport!  Pick up souvenir candles and gifts at Inspired Art + Life (Concourse C) or at Minnesota State of Nice (main mall area).  Both are located in Terminal 1.  If you're flying off toward adventure, stop by and bring a little piece of Minnesota with you! 

​

If you're WAY up North on a fishing trip, stop by Petry's Bait in Finlayson!  This heritage store has been part of northern Minnesota's landscape for nearly 100 years!  They are now proudly selling Sota Cracklers candles in their gift area! 

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.
