"Smells like Camping" 🖤🫠

06/06/2026

First Friday in Hood River was so magical! It was such a beautiful and almost surreal moment, hanging out at our booth, looking out to see so many beautiful and unique souls wandering around having a good time... all of us not only welcome, but encouraged to be our most authentic selves... freely. ✨️

Love love love Hood River! 🤗

Anyways, last night was also the big debut of our new annual Gorge Pride Maker Grant! If you are interested in learning more, applying for the grant, or contributing to it, head to our site at hoodrivercandleco.com.

Here is the link to apply: https://forms.gle/cMGnH2ijW4W5ZZDh6

Applying is very easy and fun! We are excited to give some extra cash to a local LGBTQIA+ maker, artist, hobbiest, small business owner, or someone who is even just getting started!

😍 Say Hello to the Pineapple Sage limited-edition where we ended up with 20 extra random pink jars, fun new fragrance samples from our beloved supplier, and a delicious creative vision! 🍍😋🎉

What's even better is the morning after already being excited about these and pouring them, we woke up to the baby app announcing that our little Indi is now the size of a pineapple!! We just love little signs and universal alignments 🥰
To us... this means remember to have fun, be a little fruity, and enjoy the little things this summer! 🌞🫶

🌈 Pride Month Candles Are Here! 🌈... and they are bringing something really special! 😍

We're excited to introduce our limited-edition Pride Month candles from Hood River Candle Co., and what we have decided to use the profits for! 🎉

These candles will be available at our booth during First Friday this week, and they're also available anytime through our website (link in comments) or by messaging us directly.

✨ 100% of the profit from every Pride candle sold will go toward our Pride Maker Grant!

The Pride Maker Grant is a new annual small community grant that will be awarded to an LGBTQIA+ artist, maker, crafter, or small business owner in the Columbia River Gorge area to support their creative work, business, or next project.

📢 Applications are now open! You can apply here: https://forms.gle/cMGnH2ijW4W5ZZDh6

📅 Applications will be accepted through June 30, and one recipient will be selected on July 1st.

Whether you're purchasing a candle, sharing this post, or applying for the grant, thank you for helping us celebrate creativity, community, and all of the incredible makers who make the Gorge such a special place. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
🌈🕯️

PS: They smell really good 🥲

What does the Bridge of the Gods smell like?

Fresh rain on the trail. Towering evergreens. Cool river air drifting through the Gorge. Notes of cedarwood, sugar pine, petrichor, green leaves, and stone are grounded by a hint of campfire smoke.

Our Bridge of the Gods candle was created to capture the feeling of this place, not just what it looks like, but what it feels like to stand here.🖤

YES, it does actually deter mosquitos!
And today is the last day for 20% off your Wild Sage + Citronella candle! Hand-poured by us in Hood River, OR. Perfect to burn on your outdoor table, porch, or on a camping trip! 😍🌲
Eat, read, fish, or play games in a little bit more peace this year! 🤎

As the camping season kicks off, we want you to focus on vibing and making memories... without the mosquitoes all up in your grill ❤️

Did you know in addition to their completely unrelateable repulsion from Citronella, they also don't like Sage!? This means we get to keep the refreshing combo of smells to ourselves while the skeeters buzz off 😅🙌

❤️ Hope you guys enjoy this sale. Love y'all!

HAPPY CAMPING SEASON! 😍🫶

A couple of weeks ago, we went down to deliver some of our candles to Valerie’s Refillery at Columbia Gorge Janitorial Supply Co… and we fell SO in love with the place!

Today we ran out of dish soap, and we just HAD to take a quick trip back down there for some new suds! 🫧🌿

The way Valerie has created this space makes everyday things feel exciting and intentional, and honestly just too cute!! The whole shop is filled with thoughtful low-waste products, beautiful scents, and little reminders that caring for your home can actually feel really really, really good. 🥹👏

We’re so happy to have our candles in such a special little corner of the Gorge 🤍 and we absolutely recommend going there for any and all cleaning supply needs... it truly makes cleaning more fun and uplifting! 🙌
