Support the Mindful Makers
A Note From rae & daunder
As the holiday season begins to glow around us, there’s something special in the air, a sense of gathering, grounding, and gratitude. For small businesses like rae & daunder, Small Business Saturday isn’t just another shopping day. It’s a celebration of the makers, the dreamers, the quiet creatives pouring their hearts, hands, and hopes into something meaningful.
It’s a day built for people who believe that what you bring into your home should make you feel something.
Why Mindful Making Matters
At rae & daunder, every candle begins long before the wax is poured.
It starts with intention, choosing clean ingredients, crafting balanced scents, and designing pieces that bring calm, warmth, and presence into your daily rituals.
In a world of fast everything, mindful making is our way of slowing down.
It’s the time spent testing fragrances until they dance just right.
It’s the care in hand-finishing each candle so it feels like it was created just for you.
It’s the belief that small details make everyday life a little more beautiful.
