Small-Batch Candles, Poured by Hand, Sent to Houston
Hand-poured in small batches at 11 W. Main St., Frostburg, Maryland, and shipped USPS to Houston, TX.
Hand-poured soy-blend candles, made in Frostburg, Maryland and shipped USPS to Houston in a typical 3 to 5 days — that is the whole arrangement, and it works. Houston lives indoors more than it lets on. The bungalows of the Heights and the apartments and old duplexes of Montrose keep the air conditioning running most of the year, and a sealed, cooled room turns out to be ideal candle country: no drafts, no open windows carrying the scent off toward Louisiana. When the summer storms stack up over the East End and the sky goes the color of poured concrete, a lit candle on the kitchen counter is a small act of composure. Ours cost $17 each and come from a candle bar inside the historic Hotel Gunter, an 1897 hotel in the western Maryland mountains where guests pour candles at the bar with a craft cocktail in hand. You get the candle without the fourteen-hundred-mile drive. We are boxing it up on Main Street.
Three pours we'd send to Houston
Fresh Linen — Cotton and green notes are the counterpoint to humidity you cannot burn away. In an air-conditioned Heights bungalow it reads as clean sheets and a working thermostat.
Champagne — Pear and white blossom suit patio season, which in Houston runs roughly ten months with a recess for August.
Caramel — Houston does the holidays without snow, so the house has to carry the season on its own. Burnt sugar and vanilla get it most of the way there.
Pricing stays simple: every house candle is $17, packs are just the count times seventeen, and the full collection — 668 candles, melts, sprays, matches, and gifts — ships the same way. The shop has the lot, and gift cards arrive by email within the hour.
Questions from Houston
How long does shipping to Houston take?
Candles ship USPS from Frostburg, Maryland and typically arrive in Houston in 3 to 5 days. Everything is hand-poured and packed on Main Street before it leaves the mountains.
Where are these candles made?
They are hand-poured in a soy blend at The Pour House Candle Bar & Lounge, inside the historic Hotel Gunter in Frostburg, Maryland. It is a working candle bar and cocktail lounge, and the shipped candles come from the same wax and the same hands.
Will a candle survive a Houston summer on my porch?
Soy blends soften in serious heat, so in the hottest months it is worth bringing the box inside soon after delivery rather than letting it sit through an afternoon outdoors. If a candle arrives a little soft, an hour in the air conditioning sets it right before you light it.
