candles & wares by jenn schiffer

fill up on the leftovers holiday shop

posted December 5, 2025

the "feels like" temperature out right now is 13 degrees fahrenheit, the wind makes the walls creak, and my fingers are still defrosting after walking home from aerial yoga. but the warmth of a candle with the lights turned low is the right kind of coziness that makes me love winter so much more than summer. on the topic, i'm excited to share with you my newest batch of candles that i've called the "leftovers" holiday shop.

photo of a wooden board with my entire "leftovers" candle collection surrounding a faux-lavender-rose decorated cardboard tube lid. the candles from top, clockwise are a hex glass jar with green dye and was, a red apple with green leaf, a tin of red hearts, a square tomato with a leaf, a 3-tiered pillar of green grass square, round lilac purple sky with white clouds, yellow half-sphere sun, and finally a perwinkle glass filled with white wax.

here is where i give you a little blurb/pitch for each candle, going from top and clockwise:

  • a green hex i had some leftover hexagonal glass jars that i go for a sweet hex - which, by the way i found some inventory of to add to this batch. anyway, a green hex is imho a perfect outdoorsy pine blend with added scent of green leaves and grass.
  • good apple i took bad apple and removed the slime and cherry. you're welcome! this is pure apple scent, and a cute little leaf.
  • bad (cherry) melts i still had cherry and apple scent leftover from bad apple and so i figured i'd try out a new product, wax melts. i know not everyone can have candles lit for safety reasons, so i've been wanting to get into wax melts and this collection was me finally just doing it. the hearts are just a mold i had laying around lol.
  • nice twomato i'm going to have to start adding a changelog to candles i think. this is version two of nice tomato. get it? everyone in bugs rock nation is smart, you get it.
  • sky watching this is touching grass but with brighter yellow "suns", a lighter green "grass", and options for different colored "skies". i love all these candles like they are my children, but sky watching is my favorite. i'll probably rename this to "touching grass" and add a changelog.
  • lavender smoke this scent is probably my all-time favorite, as are the periwinkle glasses they come in. i want them to show up to your home safely and adorably, perhaps ready to gift to someone, so they will be packed in a Luxurious Cardboard Tube with a lid i've adorned with faux lavender roses.

for an Added Holiday Bonus: i figured i'd should also make the eggs available because they're fun. you're fun!

let's talk processing and shipping. i'd like to keep processing to 2 business days (mon-thurs) max and then ups ground shipping could take up to 8 days depending on how far from jersey city, nj, you are. your best, dangerous bet is to get your orders in before next friday, 12/12, if you need them in time for christmas. i have added shipping options for "ups 2nd day air" and "ups 3 day select" for folks who love to live fast and cut it close - just remember to add that onto the processing time that i've added to the top of this page. if you have any concerns, don't hesitate to email me!

i hope you enjoy this batch, and have a cozy, safe holiday - no matter where you're from and what you do or do not celebrate, so long as you wish the same back and for all others.

xoxo jenn
