Vellabox is a monthly candle subscription box that delivers top quality, natural candles from artisan makers across the USA. Every month they send you a different candle curated to their scent preferences and the season. Every candle featured in the box is made with 100% natural wax, clean fragrance, and cotton-braided wicks - guaranteed non-toxic, cruelty-free, and vegan.

In addition, you'll receive a surprise "lifestyle" item chosen along the same health-forward lines, from businesses with a focus on natural products and social good. They offer three box sizes that range in price, depending on subscription duration: The Glow Box (starting at $24/month), The Vibe Box (starting at $30/month), and The Luxe Box (starting at $48/month).

This is a review of The Vibe Box (16 oz. candle and gift box).

First Impressions

Make room for what's blooming. - Vellabox

May has arrived, and we’re finally starting to see some spring-like temperatures. It’s fishing season opener, and with all the chaos of spring sports and travel prep, I needed a moment to slow down and breathe.

This month’s Vellabox arrived at just the right time, adding a calming touch to my morning coffee routine. It helped me reset, organize my thoughts, and write out exactly what I needed to get done for the day without feeling overwhelmed.

If the soft flicker of candlelight and soothing scents help you unwind the way they do for me, I can’t recommend this subscription enough. With a surprise gift and a curated Spotify playlist included each month, it’s more than just a box—it’s a full sensory experience.

Vanilla & Spruce "Ivory Linen" - Retail Value $38.00

One of my favorite parts of spring is the chance to hang clothes out on the line to dry. While my sister-in-law hangs everything outside, I mostly just enjoy the fresh breeze drifting through my bedding and blankets—and this candle captures that feeling perfectly.

Featuring notes of petitgrain citrus, cotton wood, coconut milk, wild mint, and spring water, it has a beautifully fresh, clean scent that I absolutely adore. Poured into a 16-ounce amber glass jar, even the look of the candle feels calming and soothing.

Made from soy wax and premium fragrance oils, this large candle offers about 80 hours of burn time and truly creates multiple moments of relaxation. The scent throw is pleasant without being overpowering, and even my husband—who is very particular about candles—enjoyed the clean, fresh aroma, which is saying something!

This month’s candle was created by Vanilla & Spruce, a company based in Columbus, Ohio. They specialize in phthalate- and paraben-free home fragrances that fall into three categories: nostalgic, dreamy, and cozy. They truly stay true to their mission, creating high-quality products designed to be enjoyed by everyone.

Poured with natural, organic soy wax and cotton wicks, their candles are both clean-burning and beautifully crafted. Be sure to check them out!

Now for the secret item!

Ivory Linen Fragrance Roll-On - Retail Value $22

Paired perfectly with the candle, we also received a fragrance roll-on in the same scent. Created exclusively for the May 2026 Vellabox, it’s a beautiful, easy-to-wear fragrance that truly smells like spring.

It was a lovely way to round out an already excellent box and made for a thoughtful finishing touch. This month’s curation was truly a delight to receive!

Was This Box Worth It?

The Cost: $30

Vellabox is a fabulous subscription and one I look forward to receiving each and every month. Since I burn candles almost every day, it’s important to me that they’re free of toxins and harmful ingredients. Vellabox does an excellent job of curating small brands that are not only safe to use but smell incredible too! This month’s "Ivory Linen" scent was a delight to me, and brought a little coziness to my home. With the addition of the Spotify playlist and the matching scented fragrance roll-on my month felt complete. I already can’t wait to see what’s in store for June!
