Behind the Scenes at CL Candles & More
Every order that leaves our studio carries more than just a product — it carries time, creativity, and a little piece of our heart.
At CL Candles & More, we believe the unboxing experience should feel as special as the item inside. Whether you’re opening a hand-poured candle, a personalized tumbler, or a custom shadow box, we want you to feel the love, care, and craftsmanship that goes into every single order.
Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how we package your handmade treasures with farmhouse charm and small-shop heart.
🕯️ 1. Each Order Begins by Hand
Every product we ship is made in small batches — no mass production, no rush. Once your order is complete, it’s personally inspected to make sure it meets our handmade quality standards.
✨ We check for:
- Clean candle tops and smooth wax finishes
- Perfectly aligned shirt or tumbler designs
- Securely glued and finished shadow boxes
- Accurate scent labels and personalization details
💬 Cassie’s Note: “Before I pack an order, I always stop and think — how would I want to receive this if it were for me?”
🪵 2. Wrapped in Rustic, Farmhouse Style
We want every package to feel like a gift — simple, natural, and full of charm.
✨ Packaging Touches You’ll Find:
- Neutral tissue paper and kraft wrapping
- Jute twine or ribbon tied around your item
- Seasonal greenery or accents for an extra handmade feel
- Branded stickers or thank-you tags with Cassie’s Custom Creations logo
🩶 Cassie’s Tip: A soft neutral palette keeps everything consistent — cozy, clean, and timeless.
💌 3. A Personal Thank-You in Every Box
We’ll never skip the small things — because they’re what make small business special.
Each order includes:
- A handwritten or printed thank-you note
- A business card or QR code to follow us online
- Occasionally, a little surprise — like a wax melt sample, mini sticker, or coupon for your next purchase
💛 Cassie’s Note: “That thank-you card is my favorite part — it’s my way of saying, ‘You made my day by supporting my dream.’”
🧺 4. Protected and Ready to Travel
While we keep our packaging beautiful, it’s also practical.
✨ How We Keep Your Items Safe:
- Fragile items (like glass tumblers or shadow boxes) are wrapped in bubble wrap and layered securely.
- Candles are cushioned to prevent shifting during shipping.
- Boxes are sealed tight with care — because the journey from our hands to yours matters.
💡 Cassie’s Tip: We reuse and recycle packaging materials whenever possible to stay eco-friendly.
🎁 5. The Unboxing Experience
When your package arrives, we want opening it to feel like receiving a gift — not just an order.
✨ That Moment You’ll Notice:
- A clean, aesthetic presentation
- That cozy, candle-shop scent when you open the box
- The simple farmhouse design that reflects who we are
- A sense of connection — because you supported something real
💬 Cassie’s Note: “I think of each box as the last step in the creative process — it’s where handmade meets heartfelt.”
💛 Final Thoughts
Every order means the world to us. It’s more than a transaction — it’s trust. You chose to support handmade, and that’s something we’ll never take for granted.
At CL Candles & More, we promise that what you receive isn’t just a product — it’s a piece of our passion, wrapped with love and farmhouse charm.
Because when you open a small-shop order, you’re not just unboxing something you bought — you’re unboxing someone’s dream.
