Indianapolis's Hand-Poured Candles, Shipped from Main Street
From our bar inside the historic Hotel Gunter to Indianapolis, IN doorsteps — every candle hand-poured in Frostburg, Maryland.
The Pour House Candle Bar ships hand-poured soy-blend candles from Frostburg, Maryland to Indianapolis, Indiana — $17 per candle, three to five days by USPS ground. Indianapolis is honest about its seasons in a way coastal cities are not. Winter arrives flat and gray across a wide sky, summer brings thunderstorms you can watch coming for twenty minutes, and fall is the payoff. The city's houses were built for all of it: American foursquares in Meridian-Kessler, cottages and doubles in Fountain Square, the bungalows off the Monon Trail in Broad Ripple where a lit candle in the front window reads as a small act of hospitality. We pour six house scents at a candle bar inside the historic Hotel Gunter, est. 1897, and the shop behind it carries 668 items — wax melts, room sprays, warmers, candle care, matches and lighters, dried flower bouquets, greeting cards, and the candles themselves. Indianapolis wants a good candle without a lot of ceremony. We can do without ceremony.
What we'd pour for Indianapolis
Campfire — Woodsmoke, cedar, and char is October in Indiana in a jar — bonfire season, the first cold Friday night, the smell that drifts across every backyard in Irvington.
Caramel — Burnt sugar and vanilla is State Fair territory, and Indianapolis knows exactly what that means; it makes a foursquare kitchen smell like the dessert table at a family reunion.
Fresh Linen — When spring finally shows up along the Monon, cotton and green keeps the open-window feeling going on the afternoons the thunderstorms roll in and the windows have to close.
Any single pour is $17. Take the whole flight — three pours for $51, or all six for $102 — or wander the 668-item collection of candles, wax melts, and gifts in the shop. For the Indianapolis friend who chooses their own scents, gift cards arrive by email within the hour.
