A little birdy told me you’re looking for some new candles—and if you’ve landed on this page, you're interested in wood wick ones.
If you haven’t heard, wood wick candles have, well, wicks made of wood. So, when you burn one, it'll crackle, sounding like a log fire as it's lit. (Not to mention, it'll burn slower than candles with regular cotton wicks, meaning they'll last way longer!) A candle that impacts another sense besides my nose? Sign. Me. Up.
Peep a few of the best wood wick candles, below:
