Origins

In late 2018, Nicholas G was feeling broken. After having three hip surgeries as well as three shoulder surgeries from being a collegiate mascot (yes that is an accurate sentence), Nicholas G was looking for less physical hobbies. In the spirit of "be curious, not judgmental" (thanks Walt Whitman), Nicholas G went to the hobby store and started making candles for Christmas presents. He found it a relaxing pastime with the intense aroma therapy. He continued making candles for himself and friends/family until 2020 when he launched Sobreiro Candles. Welcome to his unusual recreation. After a surprising amount of demand and unable to keep up with orders, Sobreiro Candles partnered with Light 4 Life, a foundation that Nicholas G deeply believes in and hopes he can support through this candle line.
