Light the Candle. Plant the Box!

April 22, 2026

After a month of crazy temperature swings, some snowy flurries, lots of rainy days, mixed in with some bright sunny days, and a tornado to keep it interesting.... suddenly, the grass is green and Ann Arbor is in bloom!

Speaking of blooming, one of my favorite new arrivals at Found is a group of candles from Chicago candle maker, KOBO. The scents are fresh and summery, with names like Sweet Sunflower, Heath Lavender, Catalan Calendula, Crushed Mint and Wild Tomato Vine.

As a little bonus, the vessels are reusable as glasses AND the colorful packaging of each Plant-the-Box candle is embedded with seeds. Simply give the empty box a quick soak in water, tear into pieces and place in soil. Add sunshine + water. Then watch it grow!

We also have lavender soap in plantable boxes. Even if you don't plant the box, we think you'll love these candles and soaps.
