Candles are the ideal method for lighting the way down an interminable tunnel that's an entrance to a cave that leads to a taffy mine. Today's Groupon gets you $30 worth of taffy-sweet lighting, bath products, and more for $12 at The Candle Lab. The Candle Lab sells more than 120 varieties of hand-poured, natural soy candles at its chic Worthington and Grandview locations.

Candle Lab's candles use soy wax, cotton paper wicks, and pure fragrance oils so that they burn cleanly and evenly for up to 60 hours. Choose from more than 120 gourmet flavors including Tupelo honey, fresh linen, toasted marshmallow, bamboo, wild orchid, and burnt sugar. Seasonal specialties such as mulled cider, hazelnut, and autumn leaves are still in stock (candles usually cost $15). This Groupon is also good toward Candle Lab's hand-stamped greeting cards, bath and body products, and other home-fragrance products.

Candle Lab's stores are modern, classy spots with understated décor. Find your favorite fragrance amid dark wood, intimate lighting, and clean white walls adorned with a local artist’s colorful work. The staff of friendly scentsmiths can help you pick the ideal wax-burner for a wedding, baby shower, anniversary, birthday, or home fumigation.

People usually like their homes and bungalows to smell good, be well lit, attract friends, charm grandparents, and entice Oprah Winfrey. Soy candles are particularly good Oprah invitations due to their heart-melting histories and fiery attitudes. Use your Groupon to counter foul kitchen smells or approximate the bouquet of eternity as the Oprah age draws to a close.

Reviews

Five Yelpers give The Candle Lab a perfect five stars:

• If only they were edible! The flavors (not scents) as they are called are unique and exactly what they are labeled as. – Ellen F.
• The great thing about soy [wax] is that it burns clean without all the soot you get from wax candles. – Kara K.
• The Toasted Marshmallow [candle] smells good enough to eat. Not only does The Candle Lab have candles, but they also sell some bath goods as well, including a delicious Triple Berry Bath Bomb. Watch it fizz! – Lisa S.
