Kindly Candles

Kindly Candles Handcrafted soy candles made in small batches for the ordinary human. Hi, I’m Marisa. I'm a California native who moved to Dunedin, New Zealand in April 2021.

Before New Zealand, I lived in Melbourne, Australia for 5 years. I started learning about candle making in July 2021. Since then, I've tested scents, wax and jars and realised I had enough experience to begin sharing with others - Kindly Candles was born in March 2022. I'm inspired by the awe of nature and the reminiscence of places lived and travelled. I'm lucky to call New Zealand home, and hope to reflect this in scents to come. x Marisa

If you’ve been on our website lately, you can see we are sold out of a lot of our candles….
This is because of the amazing support from our beautiful stockists and online orders from new and existing customers 🧡

We have a big restock coming and those candles are curing in our studio as we speak!

Also, did you hear us mentioned on the Hits this morning? It was pretty special to hear our little business on the radio 📻

Some local wholesale deliveries 🧡It will never be lost on me the support from other local business 🕯️

Today was a pretty awesome day!
We dropped off a very special order to our friends at Property Brokers in Mosgiel 🏡
Shoz helped us get in to our first home and years later, sold it for us - in under a week!
It’s awesome to work with respected companies and people and help them thank their clients 🧡

🕯️Go big or go home, right?🕯️

We’re officially testing a massive 500ml jar—double our usual 250ml size for twice the burn time and twice the cozy vibes.

So far so good!
What scent would you want to see in a bigger jar?

She’s live!
And delicious 🤤

Rich, sophisticated, and dark. This candle captures the luscious aroma of ripe black cherries steeping in a full-bodied Merlot wine. Infused with hints of plum, clove and aged oak, it’s the perfect companion for unwinding after a long day.

We had a special request from a loyal customer for our cinnamon and spruce candle. We made a small batch with what we had left and there are two of this flavour remaining!

Cinnamon & Spruce blends warm, buttery cinnamon cookie notes with the crisp green lift of blue spruce. Designed for summer festivities in the Southern Hemisphere, it’s nostalgic yet fresh — like something sweet in the oven, doors open, and the sea breeze drifting through.

🍷✨ SOMETHING RICH IS BREWING... ✨🍒
We’ve been quietly perfecting a brand new blend, and we are completely obsessed. If you love deep, comforting, and sophisticated fragrances, this one was made for you.
Think decadent, juicy dark fruit meets a smooth, velvety finish. It’s the ultimate "pour a glass and unwind" vibe—perfect for cozying up your space as the evenings get cooler.
