About Us

Greetings! We're Chrissy and Dan Hampton, and our candle-making adventure is all about providing quality, homemade, American sourced candles for our customers.

What began as a flickering interest blossomed into a burning passion. Our homes and garages became laboratories for honing our craft. After another holiday season full of gifts to family and friends. We started conversations about building a family business around our growing love of candle making. Our dedication to delivering genuine homemade candles with evocative scents has since became the cornerstone of our craft.

With our brand, Thunder River Candles, we aim to share this homemade quality with our customers. Each candle we create is a labor of love, hand poured using materials sourced exclusively from American artisans and producers. Our commitment to supporting American business, and having fun while making our products brings out the authentic homemade quality we strive for.

For us, these candles aren't just products—they're conduits of the homemade experience. Every scent we choose to offer is a scent that we love, a scent that evokes a memory, or fills us with cozy feelings. It's about more than just a beautiful aroma; it's about the personal connection and the cozy, homemade ambiance our candles bring to every space.

Our journey from enthusiasts to entrepreneurs underscores our passion for bringing the homemade feel to our customers' lives. We're passionate about sharing the magic of homemade creations and the genuine allure of American-made products. We hope you find our candles just as wonderful as we do!
