🕯 What’s a reed diffuser, and why should you care? 🤔

Think of it as the flame-free cousin of your favorite candle.
Just fragrance + reeds = effortless scent, all day, every day.

✨ No heat or flame
✨ Lasts 3-6 months
✨ Perfect for bathrooms, bedrooms + pet-friendly homes

Some scents can't be made in a reed diffuser ⛔ WHY? because the oil is too dense to travel UP ☝🏻 the reeds.

Prime Day is HERE, and while it's known for big deals, we wanted to take a moment to remind you about the incredible value and unique treasures you can find by supporting small businesses. ❤️

There are definitely things you may need that small businesses don't carry, and if it's a need, absolutely do it! But this year, as you're looking for those special purchases, (maybe Christmas presents!) we encourage you to think small. When you choose a small business, you're not just buying a product; you're supporting a dream, a family, and your local community. Every purchase makes a real difference, helping these passionate entreprmeneurs thrive.

Why Shop Small This Prime Day?

Unique Finds: Discover one-of-a-kind items you won't find anywhere else. Not even on Amazon 😉

Quality & Craftsmanship: Many small businesses pour their heart into creating high-quality, handcrafted goods.

Personalized Service: Enjoy a more personal shopping experience that you can't get at a big box store (or via online chat bot)

Community Impact: Your money stays in the community, supporting local jobs and growth.

We invite you to explore the amazing small businesses out there, whether they're local to you or online.

Oak Lane Candle Co.

Who we are: Oak Lake Candle Co. is a natural, eco-friendly soy wax candle shop located in the heart of Ames, Iowa. We use all natural soy wax so you can be sure that your burn is clean and natural. Soy wax burns cleaner and longer than regular candles and is produced by American farmers. We use phthalate-free fragrance in all of our candles and a lead-free wick.

In 2014 my husband and I started an adoption process of (what would be) adopting our son and daughter from Uganda. With such a large sum of money to raise at a small amount of time, I thought of trying something I had always wanted to try as a hobby; candle making. I researched and tested and after countless hours, wax, wicks, and fragrances, I eventually found the perfect candle. These candles helped us raise the money to finish our adoption process and in March of 2017, we brought them home. The passion for creating candles has stuck with me, and here we are!

The Candle: Our 9 oz. and 16 oz. candles have a sleek, straight jar with a white tin lid. 9 oz. candles have a burn time of 40-60 hours and 16 oz. have a burn time of 80-120 hours, when properly maintained. Trim your wick to ¼ inch prior to every single burn. This ensures proper burning. The first time you burn your candle, burn it for a few hours, no more than four. Soy wax has a memory, so the first burn is important in making sure you have a proper melting pool. Soy wax has a very natural look and may develop frosting. This is the nature of soy candles and will not affect the burning or scent.
