🕯️ About MinnyWicks 🕯️
✨ Hand-poured & made with love ✨
🌸 Welcome to MinnyWicks!
Hi there! I'm Mindy, the owner and creator behind MinnyWicks! 💖
I started this little shop because I wanted to mix my biggest passions: anime, video games, cozy aesthetics, and handmade crafts.
What began as a small candle business has grown into a shop filled with candles, wax melts, stickers, keychains, phone charms, pins, and other kawaii goodies inspired by the fandoms I love ✨
Everything in the shop is designed, created, packed, and shipped by me from my little studio in Arizona. 🌈 From choosing scents and pouring candles to illustrating stickers and packing orders, every product is made with care and a whole lot of excitement.
🎮 My Story
My goal has always been simple: create high-quality, affordable products that bring a little happiness to someone's day. Whether you're lighting a candle while gaming, decorating your water bottle with stickers, or adding a new charm to your collection, I hope every package feels like a small gift to yourself.
✨ Make life a little brighter, cuter, and more fun, one tiny flame at a time. ✨
I believe the little details matter. That's why every candle is vegan, cruelty-free, soy-based, and packaged with extra love and care right here in Arizona.

🎀 Fun Facts About Me

📺 All-time fave anime: Fairy Tail
🐾 A Little Tribute to Scamp
If you've followed MinnyWicks for a while, you've probably seen mentions of Scamp, my faithful crafting companion and studio supervisor for 17 years. He spent countless hours beside me while I poured candles, packed orders, and dreamed up new creations.
While he's no longer physically by my side, his paw prints are all over this little business, and he'll always be part of the magic behind MinnyWicks. 💖
