Small-Batch Candles, Poured by Hand, Sent to Ocean City

Hand-poured in small batches at 11 W. Main St., Frostburg, Maryland, and shipped USPS to Ocean City, MD.

Frostburg holds down Maryland's mountain corner and Ocean City holds the beach, and USPS covers the distance in two to three days — hand-poured soy-blend candles, boxed on Main Street, delivered to the shore. Ocean City keeps a rhythm no other Maryland town keeps: a long summer of full boardwalk roar, then the quiet months when Caine Woods and Little Salisbury get their streets back and the bayside canals of Montego Bay go still. Oceanfront condos face the sunrise; the older cottages and duplexes downtown face everything else. Salt air is glorious and it is also relentless — it works its way into fabric, furniture, and the smell of every beach place ever rented. A clean-burning candle is the civilized answer. Ours are a soy blend, poured by hand at our candle bar inside the historic Hotel Gunter in Frostburg, where the Appalachians do what your dunes do and hold the horizon. You have the ocean, we have the mountains, and USPS handles the introductions.

Three pours we'd send to Ocean City

ChampagnePear and white blossom for bayside sunsets and the toast at the end of a good beach week.

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 Ocean City

How long does shipping to Ocean City take?

Two to three days by USPS from Frostburg, Maryland. Ocean City sits at the opposite end of the state from us, but it is still East Coast, so the window holds — order early in the week and the box beats you to the beach house.

Where are the candles made?

In the mountains, as it happens. Every candle is a hand-poured soy blend made at our candle bar inside the historic Hotel Gunter in Frostburg, Maryland — the far western corner of the state from the boardwalk.

I run a shop in Ocean City — do you wholesale?

We do. Wholesale starts at 25 candles at $16 each, and the price drops 50 cents per candle for each additional 25. The full program lives at pourhousecandlebar.com/wholesale.
