Why Dark Horse Handcrafted Is a Brand to Fall in Love With

Meet My Friend Denice, with Dark Horse Handcrafted — Candles Made to Nurture the Soul

I can’t wait to introduce you to my friend Denice, the creative force behind Dark Horse Handcrafted - a brand that captures warmth, craftsmanship, and comfort in every hand-poured candle. If you love scents that spark connection and cozy vibes, you’re in for a treat.

Denice started Dark Horse Handcrafted out of a love for creating beautiful spaces and the simple joy of making things by hand. What began with woodworking evolved into crafting candles that don’t just smell divine but tell a story. Each one is poured in her off-grid, solar-powered studio - a reflection of her commitment to sustainability and her belief that good energy should be felt in every corner of your home.

What sets Dark Horse Handcrafted apart is the intention behind every detail. Each candle is made with 100% natural coconut soy wax, known for its clean, long-lasting burn. The scents are designed to evoke emotion - from the stillness of quiet evenings to laughter-filled gatherings. These candles are more than fragrance; they’re little rituals that ground you in life’s simplest joys.

One of my personal favorites is Christmas in the Mountains - a holiday candle that captures the fresh, crisp magic of winter mornings and cozy evenings by the fire. It’s part of their Christmas & Holiday Collection, which brings festive comfort to any space.

Ready to experience it for yourself? Denice is giving you $15 to spend sitewide - just use code  BTNA15  at checkout. This offer is only valid for 7 days, so treat yourself or surprise someone special while it lasts.

As someone who deeply appreciates handmade, meaningful craftsmanship, I can’t help but feel inspired by what Denice has created with Dark Horse Handcrafted. Her candles are more than décor or fragrance - they’re tiny moments of peace we can hold on to. They remind us to pause, breathe, and savour the little things that make a house feel like home.

I’m so grateful to highlight another talented Canadian maker who pours her heart into her work, and I hope you’ll take a moment to explore her beautiful collection. Whether you’re shopping for the holidays, treating yourself to a moment of calm, or supporting Canadian small businesses, Denice’s creations are truly something special.
