Hand-Poured Candles, Delivered to Columbia
Soy-blend candles poured by hand inside the historic Hotel Gunter, shipped from Main Street in Frostburg, Maryland to Columbia, SC.
Columbia calls itself Famously Hot and has the Augusts to prove it; our contribution ships well regardless — hand-poured soy-blend candles, sent USPS from Frostburg, Maryland, arriving in Columbia in two to three days. Life here is arranged around the heat: the bungalows of Shandon sit deep under their oaks, Rosewood keeps its porches shaded, and Cottontown and Earlewood do their socializing after the sun quits. Evening is the livable hour — the Congaree cools things a degree or two, the ceiling fans slow down, and the front porch becomes the best room in the house. That is candle territory. A lit wick gives a Shandon porch the same low glow the heat lightning does, minus the weather. Our six house scents are $17 each, hand-poured in a soy blend, and the wider collection — 668 items including wax melts, room sprays, warmers, and dried flower bouquets — ships in the same two-to-three-day window, boxed on Main Street and pointed south toward the Midlands.
What we'd pour for Columbia
Fresh Linen — Cotton and green is the correct answer to Famously Hot; it burns clean and bright when Shandon is holding steady in the upper nineties.
Champagne — Pear and white blossom — light enough for the Midlands climate, celebratory enough for a fall Saturday in Columbia.
Caramel — Burnt sugar and vanilla for the evening hour, when the heat finally lets go and the porch earns its keep.
Every house scent is $17, hand-poured in small batches. The shop carries all six, plus flights and full pours, and the full collection runs to 668 candles, wax melts, room sprays, and gifts. Can’t pick? Gift cards arrive by email within the hour.
Asked often in Columbia
How long does delivery to Columbia take?
Two to three days by USPS from Frostburg, Maryland. Columbia is squarely in our East Coast window, so a candle ordered early in the week is generally on the porch before the weekend.
Where do Pour House candles come from?
Every candle is hand-poured in a soy blend at our candle bar and lounge inside the historic Hotel Gunter, 11 W. Main St., Frostburg, Maryland. We make them the same way our guests do at the bar — by hand, one pour at a time.
Which scents hold up best in Columbia's heat?
Go light. Fresh Linen (cotton, green) and Champagne (pear, white blossom) read clean and bright in the thick of a Columbia summer, and Caramel earns its place once the evenings cool. All six house scents are $17.
