Welcome to the GNCC Shop!
About Our Candles
We use 100% American Grown Soy Wax. Soy wax is a more environmentally conscious and locally sourced product than some alternatives such as paraffin or palm wax. Plus, there really aren't very many palm trees in Minnesota.
Our candles are hand poured with care in our home in Duluth, Minnesota often to the sound of music, laughter, and the occasional barking of our two dogs.
You'll notice all our candles are beautiful creamy shades of near white to warm yellows. This is the natural color of the wax and fragrance oils together. All our candles are dye-free. Call us minimalists or simplistic but we think they're beautiful just the way they are.
We currently only carry our line in quart sized square mason jar which are also American made. However, we are more than happy to work with you on custom orders if you have another size in mind.
Our wicks are manufactured in Germany, assembled in the US, and are zinc & lead free.
To help with their identity, the candles are tied with an assortment of decorations such as raffia, strips of fabric, ribbons, or anything else that may be laying around. Our decorations may vary and we love to reuse and re-purpose materials for decorations.
Use our easy and secure online shopping cart to place your candle order below. Products can be shipped or we're happy to make arrangements for local pick-up.

Natural Notes
MN Campfire
Here at GNCC we like to spend our summer evenings gathered around a warm crackling fire in our backyard. We’d like to share that with you whether you’re in the neighborhood or miles from the Great North.
O Tannenbaum
A delightful blend of fresh winter evergreens sure to have you humming a tune. "How lovely are thy branches."
Great Outdoors
The perfect blend of evergreens, leaves, and a new forest path. For when you can't get out to enjoy the beautiful Minnesota forests, this is a lovely reminder until you can get back.
Autumn Leaves
We're pretty sure this is what happiness smells like. A leafy fresh scent with notes of bergamot is one of our favorites for Autumn. Close your eyes and picture a cool sunny woodland path. Like we said, happiness!
Spicy Notes
Spiced Cranberry
Hands-down our most popular winter scent. An incredibly strong blend of tart cranberries with a spicy flair. Simply a must have.
Country Store
An awesome blend of pumpkin, apple, spice, and musk.
Cinnamon Stick
A natural spice and woody scent just like an actual cinnamon stick. A winter favorite!
Bakery Notes
Blueberry Muffins
Described in a word, "yum." Smells just like fresh blueberry muffins straight from the oven.
Blueberry Crumble Coffee
There's a lovely little gift shop on the North Shore of Minnesota that sells some amazing coffee. One of our favorites is their Blueberry Crumble Cake Coffee. It was pretty much mandatory that we capture that fresh brewed coffee smell into one of our candles.
Christmas Cookies
A delicious blend of sugar and shortbread cookies with a touch of spice.
Floral Notes
Lilac
We love the fragrance of our fresh lilacs in the spring but they never seem to last long enough. Enjoy that very same scent all year long. One of our best sellers!
Gardenia
This island flower will flood your senses with its sweet and delicate scent.
Lavender
A true herbal scent of the lavender flower. Lavender has been used for decades promotes relaxation and tranquility.
Sweet Thing
Or "Sweet Thang" as Dan likes to say it is a playful blend of vanilla, berries and flora. A softer happy scent always makes us smile.
Sweet & Fruity Notes
Pomegranate
Ripe juicy pomegranate is a traditional holiday fruit with strong connections to many cultures throughout history. Pomegranates have always been a favorite in our home and we hope you enjoy them as well!
Strawberry Jam
And we’re not talking about the store bought stuff here! The scent of mouthwatering fresh strawberries from the field blended with sugar and canned right in the kitchen. Home canning is a favorite pastime of ours and this one is a cornerstone of the season.
Lemon
A lovely tart and fresh lemon scent! No puckering of lips required!
Caramel Apple
A winning combination of fresh juicy apples and sweet warm caramel will have you reminiscing of the County Fair.
Wildberry Tea
A delicious blend of tea, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and cranberries. One of our best year-round sellers.
Vanilla Bean
A staple in anyone's home with a touch of white cocoa, cardamom, and brown sugar for a unique blend.
Pineapple Cilantro
The sweet scent of pineapple blended with a bit of fresh cut cilantro. An unexpectedly delightful combination!
Twigs & Berries
A rustic blend of woody notes and sweet red berries from the forest. A year-round favorite!
Cucumber Melon
A light blend of cool cucumber, sweet watermelon and juicy honeydew.
Macintosh Apple
The crisp, juicy scent of a perfect red Macintosh Apple. Also known as the iCandle.
Clean Notes
Fresh Linen
The clean crisp smell of sheets fresh from the clothesline. You can almost smell the sunshine and the warm summer breeze!
Eucalyptus
The cool refreshing scent of the oil from eucalyptus trees has long been hailed for its ability to ward of mental and physical fatigue. While not a native of the Great North, many days have been spent walking trails lined with these beautiful trees in Northern California while visiting a very dear friend.
Basil Sage Mint
A refreshing blend of herbal scents. One of our strongest candles and Maranda's favorite!
