Scents like white pine and hemlock, seagrass and driftwood, cottonwood and oak, cactus flower and fern, and maplewood and moss, are inspired by our great national parks. Yosemite (California), Grand Canyon (Arizona), Acadia (Maine), Glacier (Montana) and The Great Smoky Mountains - these breathtaking landscapes are represented in this new wilderness candle collection. The vessels are uniquely textured, reusable and filled with fragrances you’d experience in the parks. Topped with cherry wood dust covers and crackling wood wicks, you can light strike-anywhere matches right on the vessel to really bring that campfire feeling home.

Best of all, your purchase directly supports the National Parks Foundation with a minimum donation of $25,000 and together our efforts help to protect more than 84 million acres of national parks through conservation and preservation.

As always, Sip and Ship looks forward to supporting you and our national parks in this fun and impactful way.
See you soon,
Diana and Your Friendly Sip and Ship Team
