Our Products
Our products are handcrafted by our family in Massachusetts. JV Country Creations began in 2015 as a mother-daughter business (Janet & Vanessa), and making meaningful pieces inspired by nature is still at the heart of what we do.
Yes! We use real, sustainably sourced birch wood that we harvest ourselves from Northern Maine. Each piece has its own bark markings, shape, and character, making every holder one of a kind.
Yes! We burn every design into the wood by hand. No lasers around here! Small variations are part of the handmade process and make each piece unique.
No. Although the natural wood has a beautiful scent, we provide unscented candles with the birch candle holders. The wood is the reusable holder, so you can easily replace with a scent of your choice or a new tea light after the original is burned down.
Absolutely! Once the candle has burned out and cooled completely, remove the empty tea light cup and insert a replacement that fits in the opening. Replace with another tea light or even a battery operated LED version.
Your piece will feature the design and options you select, but the wood itself will vary. Differences in bark color, markings, diameter, and shape are natural. Product photos show examples of the style you can expect.
Sizes vary by product and style. Please check the individual listing for measurements before ordering. Because we work with natural logs, diameters and shapes can vary from piece to piece. If you have a specific size requirement, please let us know before placing the order. We are happy to accommodate these requests!
Keep your pieces indoors in a dry location. Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth and avoid soaking the wood or using harsh cleaners. Handle the bark gently to help preserve its natural appearance.
Place your holder on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from anything that could catch fire. Keep lit candles away from children and pets, and never leave them unattended. Allow the candle and holder to cool before handling or replacing the tea light.
Personalization & Custom Orders
We offer personalization on select products, including names, initials, dates, and special messages. Check the listing for available options and enter your details exactly as you would like them to appear. Please double-check spelling and dates before submitting your order.
Definitely! We love hearing your ideas! If you have a particular design, saying, or occasion in mind, send us an email at info@jvcountrycreations.com so we can discuss how to bring your idea to life! From there you will work with a designer to finalize the project. Since our designs are burned by hand, some artwork may need to be simplified, but the options are endless!
Yes! We welcome inquiries for wedding favors, events, business gifts, and other larger orders. Send us the product you’re interested in, the quantity, any personalization details, and the date you need it. We’ll discuss availability, pricing, and production time with you.
