Why Candles Make Everything Better: The Story Behind Mam Jam’s Candle Company

 

Date: June 1, 2025

There’s just something about lighting a candle that feels like home.


Maybe it’s the soft flicker that warms up a quiet evening. Or that familiar scent that carries memories of family dinners, rainy mornings, or your grandmother’s kitchen. At Mam Jam’s Candle Company, we believe candles are more than just decor—they’re little moments of comfort, care, and connection.

 

How It All Began

Mam Jam’s started with a simple idea: creating candles that feel like a hug from home.

 

Our founder, lovingly known in her family as “Mammie Jammie” began pouring small batches of soy candles in her kitchen. What began as handmade gifts for friends and family quickly turned into a passion project—and eventually, a growing business. Today, every candle we make is still hand-poured with that same homemade love.


What Makes Our Candles Different?

 

We’re proud to say we don’t cut corners—ever. Here’s what sets Mam Jam’s Candles apart:


  • 100% Natural Soy Wax: Clean-burning and eco-friendly, with no toxins, paraffin, or petroleum.
  • Essential & Phthalate-Free Fragrance Oils: Scents that fill your space without overpowering it.
  • Small-Batch Quality: Every candle is hand-poured to ensure consistent quality and care.
  • Family-Inspired Scents: From Sunday morning Banana Bread to Porch Swing Lavender, every scent tells a story.


More Than a Candle

 

When you buy from Mam Jam’s, you’re not just buying a candle. You’re joining a community that believes in slow living, intentional choices, and cozy corners.

 

We love hearing how our customers use our candles to celebrate milestones, set the mood for self-care Sundays, or just make an ordinary Tuesday feel a little more special.


What’s New This Season?

 

This summer, we’re excited to launch our “Front Porch Collection”—featuring nostalgic scents like Raspberry Sangria & Honeysuckle Jasmine, Fresh Cut Grass, and Just Breathe are the smells of long summer nights, lightning bugs, and laughter under the stars.
