About Shortie's Candle Company
 |

The story of Shortie’s Candles™ is one of family and love. Nearly ten years ago, a young lady named Georgia tried her hand at candle-making. For Christmas, she gave her homemade candles as gifts to a few friends, including a boy she liked, named Nick. These small offerings sparked a flame in her loved ones, who insisted she make more. And so, with her generous spirit, Georgia presented a new batch of scented treats to them for Valentine’s Day.
Nick was so taken with Georgia’s distinctive gift that he wanted to share it with the world. Having just completed a degree in Graphic Design, he set out to create a logo and some simple labels. Georgia, called “Shortie” by her friends, chose a few of her favorite fragrances. Together, they sold their first candles at a local farmers market in Sparks, NV.
The response was amazing. The candles were a hit. Overwhelmed with demand, Georgia dedicated herself to satisfying her customers’ passion for more. Nick designed prettier, more professional labels, and used his computer engineering and coding skills to build their first online storefront. Georgia’s exquisite little treats could now appease the senses of even more people. As their labor of love grew, so did their partnership, and side-by-side they continued to make new candles for sale on their website, at the farmers market, and at home and craft shows around Nevada and Northern California, while expanding their lineup of irresistible scents, colors, and sizes.
Today, Nick and Georgia are married, and have just welcomed baby Peak, the newest member of their family. They still make Shortie’s Candles™ by hand—more than 500,00 candles, that is, adored by more than 30,000 customers from all over the world. Their products are now carried in hundreds of stores throughout the United States, including multiple Whole Foods stores and many more fine retailers nationwide. Each candle is still lovingly hand-crafted, with particular attention to every detail. The first scent Georgia created for her close friends, Pomegranate, is still one of Shortie’s most popular. And, after almost ten years, her delightfully simple gift is now melting the hearts and illuminating the homes of thousands of new friends of Shortie’s Candles™.
