Lagniappe is defined as something given as a bonus or extra gift. After my experience with Lagniappe Candle Company, I had realized this definition was not only the perfect name for to describe their products, but more importantly, it fit the amazing people behind this company. Lagniappe Candle Company is a business that not only makes it easy to come back to because of the quality of their candles, but because of the service you receive. When a company's fan base grows, sometimes it's personalized feel can go down, but Lagniappe Candle Company, growing more and more popular by the day, made my experience memorable and one that deserved to be recognized and shown off..
Taylor Bice turned her love of candles with jewelry into a full time job and now runs a company that offers candles that
contain a piece of jewelry with a retail value of $40 – up to 1,000 dollars. So how did Lagniappe Candle Company come about?
Lagniappe Candle Company
It's not everyday that you find out a 15 year old (now 16) owns their own company, so I was instantly intrigued to learn more about who Taylor was and why she started a candle company. Taylor wanted to turn her love of candles that offered jewelry into a full time job, but it took more than pouring candles and shipping them to get there. Taylor made a business plan and presented it to a few clients at an investment firm she worked part-time at. Experiencing Taylor's candles first-hand, these investors made the right decision!
Taylor hand selects each jewelry piece and if it isn't something she wouldn't wear herself, she'd never put it in a candle for someone else. Taylor makes every candle, from scent selection to pouring to the custom labels. How does Taylor decide what scents to offer? Some scents are randomly selected and others are inspired by who she is, like New Boots Y'all. That's just a part of Taylor's personality!
As a teenager, Taylor has not only impressed me with her company, but her character as well. Taylor donates the entire amount of sales from every Home Sweet Home candle sold to send care packages to deployed military and is involved with Wounded Warrior Projects. She's not your average teenager. We've all been teenagers at one point in our lives and the last people we wanted to listen to were our parents. Taylor, on the other hand, knows when to ask mom for help. Taylor's mother, Laurie Bice, takes care of all the shipping and promoting of Lagniappe Candle Company. I've had the pleasure of speaking with Laurie on several occasions and she instantly makes you feel like you've been friends for years.
Besides living and working together, this dynamic duo technically goes to school together, as Taylor is home schooled by her mother, Laurie. But for this mother/daughter team, being together 24 hours a day, 7 days a week has only brought them closer, making them best friends and it comes through in Lagniappe's candles! The care and attention I received was more than impressive, but more importantly, this family run company treats you like family, and that's more than enough for me.
