The Flames of Friendship Burn The Brightest
Gladys and Josephine, my Mom and her best friend, shared a friendship that was truly one of a kind—built on love, trust, and the little moments that mattered most. Their bond inspired me to create Gladys & Josephine candles as a way to honor connections like theirs, and like yours.
When you light these candles, I hope you’re reminded of the moments and memories that make your friendship so special.

Every set includes two identical, triple-wicked candles—one for you and one for your best friend. Even when you are miles apart, lighting these matching candles keeps your friendship glowing.

Incredible quality
I love everything about these candles. First of all, the concept is so special, and so thoughtful. I received my candle yesterday and can’t wait for my bestie to share that she’s received hers, too. The packaging is spectacular. Opening this box is opening layer upon layer of luxury. It feels incredibly special. And then there’s the lid…it is beautiful to look at, but what I especially love is that, once this candle is finished, I can use this lid for other items, too. I won’t be getting rid of it, that’s for sure. And the fragrance…oh boy. I am not a fan of most scented candles. I find most of them to be cloying to the point of making my tummy upset, honestly. This first fragrance is fantastic. It’s complex and beautiful while still feeling elegant and not overwhelming. I cannot recommend these candles enough; they are truly something special.
My friend and I LOVE our candles!
This is an amazing idea! Using something as simple, yet beautiful as candles to honor friendships. I really like how they are delivered in a velvet bag with an insert telling the story of the two women the business is built on. I feel like it’s a fair price at $129 since they are offering limited edition candles with our names engraved on them. That also included separate shipping to me and my friend. I took advantage of the promotion that is currently running for $99. We were some of the first to get our candles and we love them.
