The Business: Untamed Supply
Gift Idea: Aspen Trail Candle ($24)
What's not to love about candles made from domestically grown, natural soy wax? The brand creates scents inspired by nature, love of adventure, and a deep sense of community. "In 2021, [when] our owner and founder came out publicly as trans, we realised then that advocacy and justice for LGBTQIA+ folks is something our local community isn't familiar with (we are Midwesterners), and we have grown and shifted our mission to be as inclusive as possible, especially when it comes to trans rights. Our new tagline is 'U.S. for all of us,' and we try to embody that daily. We are a small, two-person team, and we put love, care, and really good ingredients into what we make. Our intention is to bring people together through scent, even if it's in the smallest of ways," Untamed Supply states.
