Hi there! We’re John and Whitney, the husband and wife team behind Hills & Burrow.

We started this whole thing at our kitchen table with one goal: to make candles that didn’t give us headaches — literally or figuratively. We were tired of overpriced, overpowering scents and ingredient lists you needed a chemistry degree to decode.

So we kept it simple. Clean, plant-based wax. Gentle, non-toxic fragrances. No weird stuff. Just cozy, calm, and safe to burn every day.

We make our candles in small batches right here in Hillsborough, North Carolina.

We’re so glad you’re here. We hope our candles bring warmth, calm, and inviting scents into your space, and that you find a little peace and quiet in every candle.
