Hip & Hippie Soy Candles Review




I think by now, everyone knows that our household is filled with peace loving hippies. So of course, any company with hippie in the title is going to grab my attention. When that company makes amazing soy candles, they are also going to get my undying loyalty.  I came across an awesome little company called Hip & Hippie and their candles are just as cool as their name.



I have tried out lots of candles over the years, but Hip & Hippie offers something that is a little different than any others I have seen to date. Actually, there are a few things that make these candles special. First, each one comes in a beautiful glass container that is embellished with a single symbol. You can choose from peace signs, hearts, butterflies, flowers and more. They are made from restaurant quality glass and can be used as drinking glasses once the candles burn out. If you opt for a tin container, they are great for organizing, but can also be recycled.  Secondly, each one comes with a little charm that you can use as jewelry or for a craft or decoration. But the coolest thing of all is that the lids and wrappers of the candles are made from seeded paper. You can actually plant the paper, and watch wildflowers begin to sprout. This company really gives new meaning to "green" products!




But wait! There's more! All of the candles from Hip & Hippie are made from natural essential oils and soy wax. They burn slowly so they will last a long time, and the scent lingers long after the flame has been extinguished. They offer some unique varieties that include peppermint pine and vanilla bean & sweet orange. I love the light earthy scents. They are very relaxing and rejuvenating after a stressful day. Prices range from only $8.00 to $28.50 which is a very good price for such high quality candles.  Plus shipping is free on all orders of $75.


Hip & Hippie candles are a great find and perfect for gifts for any occasion from wedding showers to the winter holidays. They are affordable, fashionable, fun and green! How could they not be when they are made by some really cool, hip hippies? But what I love the most is that every single part of the candles and their containers can be reused or recycled.  If you are a candle lover or know anyone who is, check out Hip & Hippie today for an amazing scent sensation that you're sure to love.
