North Ave specialises in clever candles for literature lovers! The Banned Books Collection is a line of candles with scents inspired by books that have historically faced various bans and challenges. Candle comes in beautiful glass jar with a gift box labeled with details of when/why/where each book was banned and/or challenged.

During the Great Depression, the Deep South was a particularly hot place -- both literally as the mercury would climb on summer afternoons -- and figuratively as politics got heated, frustrations of the lower classes boiled, and tempers flared at the grim state of the economic and social conditions. So when you find yourself feeling any heat-- literally or emotionally-- take a beat, cool off with our brisk Mint Sweet Tea book candle -- and reflect on the fact that "there's only one kind of folks. Folks."

North Avenue Candles is a woman-owned + operated team-- and each candle is handcrafted by life-long candle lovers in their Pittsburgh studio. They create each candle using old fashioned methods and premium ingredients, taking care that everything produced has an eco-friendly focus. Only the finest fragrance oils and natural waxes and wicks are used. Then they are hand-poured into small batches after meticulous testing to ensure that each candle is fragrant and clean burning.
