Entry No. 69 — the Colorado Springs file — filed under: hands-on

MatchBox Candle Co.

A working candle company in Old Colorado City that lets you pour your own custom candles with a professionally trained candle maker guiding the hour-long session. You blend from the shop's scent library — matching a bestseller or inventing your own combo — and pour into either two 9 oz amber jars or one large 16 oz leather-wrapped jar. At $49.95 a person it's an accessible, low-pressure make-it date in a real production studio rather than a pop-up.

The move: Blend your own scent combinations and pour matching custom candles to take home from each other's choices.

📍 Before you go ~1 hour, $49.95/person, book ahead online; arriving 15+ minutes late without notice forfeits the reservation.
