Beanpod Candles

Room 5 now carries Beanpod Soy Candles!

This was also Aaron's first "buying" experience for Room 5! (I am a proud wife/business owner :0) )

Earlier this spring we were on a weekend trip to Kansas City and had some time to kill before our dinner reservations, so we decided to stop by a large retailer to "scope out the competition." Ha!  Just kidding, I actually didn't have the slightest bit of business on my mind - I was on vacation!  So, here I am, in my own little shopping world, completely wrapped up in this throw pillow that I'm trying to decide if I can duplicate the pattern - but in my preferred colors, when Aaron and his sister spot a candle display.  So we mosey on over and to check it out and to our great surprise these candles are FANTASTIC! 

Aaron immediately tells me that Room 5 needs to carry these.  Vacation buzz gone... Back to business I go.

I already have a candle line that I like.  The scents are great but if I'm being honest, the packaging is rather dull.  And every retailer knows, to make a sale, its imperative that you first be able to catch the customer's eye.  Beanpod Candles have a simple clean packaging that is at the same time beautiful and doesn't take away from the product; the scents are fantastic and the colors are gorgeous.  To top it all off the price point is excellent.

Fast forward a couple of weeks and I am meeting with the local Representative from Beanpod.  I learned that Beanpod is a local (Midwest - Iowa) company and they use local soybeans from local soybean farmers.   Even better! I try very hard to look first to Local and then Made in the U.S.A products/companies for items when possible.  Next thing I knew, I was trying my best to narrow down my choices from approximately 65 scents and about 15 color options.  Not an easy task, let me tell you!!  But I am in LOVE with my final selection.

The scents of Beanpod Candles currently available at Room 5 are:




































All scents are available in two convenient size options: 

4.5oz is the perfect way to try out a new scent or for a small pick-up/hostest gift!  $9.50
16oz is the perfect size for filling your whole house with your favorite fragrance! $19.50
