At Uncommon Wick, we’re not your ordinary candle company—because I’ve never been drawn to ordinary.

Each candle is created with that philosophy in mind. From the vessel to the fragrance, everything is chosen to feel calm, clean, and inviting—never overpowering, always gift-friendly. Our scents are what I like to call "sunshine in a candle"—soft tropical notes, gentle florals, warm vanilla, and sun-kissed citrus inspired by coastal living.

Design, however, is only part of the story. 

I’ve always surrounded myself with beauty. From flowers in my garden to whimsical outdoor touches, I’ve been drawn to the small details that make a space feel personal and welcoming. When it came to candles, I wanted that same intention. Not mason jars or paper labels, but elevated design—vessels that feel refined, sculptural, and beautiful enough to live on display in any home or workspace.

Earlier in my career, I owned six Hallmark stores, where I saw firsthand the power of words. A simple message could celebrate a milestone, offer comfort, or say what’s sometimes hard to put into words. That experience stayed with me and later became the inspiration behind our Message Candles—created for moments when a card alone isn’t enough.

After that chapter, my husband Ed and I owned and operated a corporate gifting and branding company. Working closely with businesses gave us a deep understanding of thoughtful gifting at scale — what feels meaningful, what feels transactional, and how the right gift can turn customers into clients for life.

I’m also the founder of Legacy Realty Group / Rental Guys Property Management, where referrals and long-term relationships are everything. In real estate, you quickly learn that staying top of mind isn’t about constant selling — it’s about being remembered for the way you make people feel. A thoughtful, well-timed gesture can speak louder than a dozen follow-ups, and the right gift can quietly reinforce trust, appreciation, and connection.

Uncommon Wick was born from the combination of these experiences: a love of elevated design, an appreciation for meaningful words, and a deep understanding of relationship-driven gifting.

We believe a candle can be more than wax and flame. It can be décor. It can carry a message. And it can create moments of connection—whether given in celebration, gratitude, or comfort or shared as a refined business gift.

Not your ordinary candle—for moments that matter.
