It’s Okay To Be Scent-Imental

In a land where palm trees sway and sunshine is plentiful, a spark of inspiration ignited a simple idea: to transform the way we remember and relive our most cherished memories.

And so, our journey began to create Postcards - not your average candle. These scented souvenirs are more than mere wax and wicks; they're portals to beloved places and cherished adventures. With each gentle inhale, they whisk you away to your own personal paradise, where the fondest memories await.

From Idea to Full-Time Candle Makers

Lexi and Preston started Postcards as juniors at the University of Hawai‘i, with a dream of sharing the Aloha spirit. They wanted to create something more meaningful than a typical souvenir—something that could truly bring the essence of a place into your home.

Inspired by a love for exploring new places, they set out to design candles that capture the magic and scent of destinations that feel like they’re straight out of a dream.

  • Yes! Our 8.5 oz tin containers are as practical as they are beautiful. Once your candle is finished, repurpose the tin for storage, decor, or even as a unique gift container. Each tin is also a piece of art, featuring vibrant, hand-drawn designs.

  • Our reinforced, durable boxes are designed with both beauty and sustainability in mind. Every box includes space to write a personal note or postcard, adding a thoughtful touch to any gift. When you’re done, please recycle the box to reduce waste.

  • We began our journey in a small church office in Kailua, Hawai‘i, where we hand-poured thousands of candles for local businesses. Today, we continue to reflect the aloha spirit and meticulous craftsmanship in every candle we create.

  • Our fragrance oils are designed to transport you to Hawai‘i’s breathtaking beauty, capturing the tropical sweetness of plumeria, the fresh saltiness of ocean breezes, and the lush greenery of rainforest valleys. Each blend evokes cherished memories of paradise, filling your home with warmth and nostalgia.
