About Cute Critter Candles
We Don’t Do Boring
Cute Critter Candles was created for people who want more than another plain candle on a shelf.
We combine colorful artwork, playful critters, and bold, nostalgic fragrances to create candles that feel familiar in the best possible way. Our scents are inspired by the candy shops, bakeries, sweet treats, and carefree moments many of us remember from childhood.
Every candle is designed to do more than make a room smell good. It is made to spark a memory, brighten your space, and stand out from everything around it.
How It Started
“I have always loved candles, but so many of them looked and smelled the same. I kept seeing plain labels, neutral colors, and familiar fragrances that blended into everything else. I wanted something bold, colorful, and exciting—something that made people stop and ask, ‘Where did you get that?’
I wanted to create candles for adults who still love the bright colors, playful designs, and sweet scents they grew up with. I wanted a candle that could make your home smell like a candy shop or bakery and bring back the same excitement you felt walking into one as a child. That idea became Cute Critter Candles.”

Candles Made to Be Remembered
From the fragrance and label artwork to the critter featured on each design, every detail is carefully considered.
We believe a candle should be more than a background accessory. It should have personality. It should become part of your décor, start conversations, and create an experience every time you light it.
That is why our collections feature mouthwatering scents, imaginative characters, and vibrant designs that refuse to disappear into a room.
Bringing Color Back
Color has the power to influence how a space feels. It can make a room feel happier, more energetic, and more personal.
Cute Critter Candles began after Megan searched for a candle that would complement her own colorful living room. The playful fragrances were out there, but the designs were often plain, beige, and nearly identical.
She wanted something different—something bold enough to display proudly.
That desire became the driving force behind the brand: to bring more color, creativity, and personality into an industry filled with candles that often look the same.
Built With Our Customers
Our customers are part of the creative process.
We regularly ask which critters you would love to see next, which childhood fragrances you miss, and what kinds of products you want us to create. Your ideas help shape future collections and keep the brand connected to the people who support it.
We are not only building a candle company. We are building a colorful community of people who appreciate nostalgia, creativity, and products that are not afraid to stand out.
From a San Antonio Kitchen to Something Bigger
Cute Critter Candles began in a small kitchen in San Antonio, Texas, with a love of candles and a vision for something more exciting.
Since then, the brand has expanded onto platforms including Amazon and TikTok, reaching new customers while staying true to the creativity and personality that started it all.
Our goal is to continue growing Cute Critter Candles into a brand recognized around the world—one unforgettable critter, one mouthwatering scent, and one childhood memory at a time.
