Magnolia Acorn Candle

The Magnolia Acorn Candle takes the shape of an oversized acorn and commits to it fully, a detailed casting substantial enough to read as a piece of woodland sculpture rather than a candle that happens to be acorn-shaped. What makes it stand out in a room full of candles is how much presence it has completely unlit — it holds its own on a shelf or mantel as a stand-alone object, the same way a piece of natural history might.

We love how literally it commits to its shape rather than offering an abstract suggestion of one; from a few feet away, it could pass for an actual oversized acorn found on a walk through the woods. Light it for warmth and scent on a quiet evening, or let it sit unlit as part of a larger woodland-inspired vignette. It pairs naturally with the Acorn Jingle Bell Place Card Holder and the rest of this season's Natural Noel collection, where wild botanicals and forest-floor motifs run through nearly every piece.
