The sun is shining, the birds are singing - spring is finally upon us! There is a special euphoria that comes with the arrival of spring in Chicago. We can finally swap our heavy parkas for a light jean jacket and head down to the beach for a picnic. And while the weather recently has been more rain than shine, those showers just mean that May flowers are on the way!
Want to try your hand at growing your own flowers this spring season? Look no further than local Chicago company KOBO Candles! KOBO’s line of “Plant the Box” candles are the perfect spring gift or Mother’s Day present. Each candle comes in a seed-infused box that when planted, will grow into the plant that inspired the candle’s scent! All you have to do is tear up the box, plant it in soil, and give it water and sun until it sprouts. You can grow flowers, herbs, or even vegetables! My personal favorite scent is the Wild Tomato Vine, an incredibly fresh and herbaceous candle that really brightens up a room.
KOBO Candles is a local, family owned and operated business committed to sustainability. They are run by the same family that owns the Merz Apothecary in Lincoln Square and have been hand-poured and assembled in Chicago since 2022. All their candles are produced using sustainably sourced 100% soy wax and enviro-safe cotton wicks. As stated on the KOBO website, “we only supply our customers with the highest-quality products we would use in our own homes, and are committed to respecting and serving our employees, customers and the environment.”
Check out our selection of Plant the Box candles from KOBO on our website, or smell them for yourself at our Lakeview gift shop located on the corner of Clark and Wellington!🌷
