My name is Sherry, and 15 years ago, I became an avid candle burner. I would buy candles in department stores, and they smelt good. I noticed that after burning them in my office, that the scent would begone about a quarter of the way down. After using those type of regular candles, I kept coming down ill, or my allergies would start bothering me, and respiratory infections. With all of the illnesses and respiratory illnesses that are out there, I wanted to contribute a better candle for our communities. I decided to put my talents and skills together and came up with a better candle, one that would burn cleaner, smell fantastic to the bottom of the candle, and be healthier to burn. I wanted to make sure that our candles would be child and pet friendly. That is when I decided to found Alyssa's Gifts Soy Candles!!
