The Heartfelt Story Behind the GG Range of Candles

Updated: Oct 6

A Tribute to Generations of Women


The GG range is more than just a candle collection; it’s a living memory. Named after my beautiful mum, affectionately known as “GG” by her great-grandchildren, this range was inspired by her deep love, gentleness, and enduring strength.


But the story doesn’t begin or end with her. For a special moment in time, our family was made up of five generations of women. My daughter, myself, my mum (GG), her mum (my grandmother), and the great-grandchildren who tied us all together.


It was remarkable. We were fortunate to be a serene, powerful group of women—strong, loving, and profoundly connected.


The Legacy of Resilience


My grandmother was a woman of resilience and grace. She passed those qualities on to my mum. GG carried them forward with open arms, always leading with love. When her great-grandchildren entered her life, it was as though her world grew brighter. They brought her laughter, energy, and purpose in her later years.


She wasn't merely proud; she was truly engaged. Her days were filled with storytime, cuddles, playful smiles, and joyful laughter. Observing her connection with them was a beautiful sight.


When she passed away, I realized I wanted to honor her and all the women who came before her in a manner that felt both personal and enduring.


The Essence of the GG Range


The GG range is a reflection of that love:


  • Soft, nurturing scents that feel like a gentle hug.

  • Elegant, neutral tones that reflect calm and grace.

  • A story in every candle—of love passed down through generations.


It’s more than a tribute to my mum. It’s a tribute to all the women who made me who I am. It’s a gift to those still writing their story.


Crafting Each Candle with Care


At Bottlenose Candles, we take pride in crafting each candle with care. Our candles are made from eco-friendly soy wax, ensuring a clean burn and a commitment to sustainability. We believe in creating products that not only smell wonderful but also contribute positively to the environment.


Eco-Friendly Ingredients


Using soy wax is just one part of our commitment to the planet. We source our materials responsibly and ensure that our production processes are as eco-friendly as possible. Each candle is hand-poured in Sydney, Australia, reflecting our dedication to quality and sustainability.


The Importance of Scent


Scent has a unique ability to evoke memories and emotions. With the GG range, we’ve carefully selected fragrances that resonate with warmth and love. Each candle serves as a reminder of the bonds we share and the stories we carry forward.


Connecting with Nature


As eco-conscious consumers, we understand the importance of connecting with nature. Our candles not only enhance your living space but also remind us of our responsibility to protect the environment. A portion of every sale goes towards dolphin conservation efforts, helping to ensure that these magnificent creatures continue to thrive in their natural habitats.


A Commitment to Conservation


Every time you light a Bottlenose candle, you are contributing to a greater cause. We are passionate about marine conservation and are dedicated to making a difference. By choosing our candles, you are not just indulging in a delightful scent; you are also supporting efforts that protect our oceans and the wildlife within them.


The Joy of Gifting


Candles make for wonderful gifts. Whether it’s a birthday, anniversary, or just because, the GG range is perfect for any occasion. Each candle comes beautifully packaged, ready to bring joy to your loved ones.


Personal Touches


Consider adding a personal note when gifting a candle. Share a memory or a sentiment that connects you to the recipient. This small gesture can make your gift even more special and meaningful.


Conclusion: Lighting the Way Forward


In conclusion, the GG range is more than just a collection of candles. It’s a heartfelt tribute to the women who have shaped my life and a celebration of the love that binds us all.


With every candle, we honor the past while looking forward to the future. I invite you to light a candle from the GG range, embrace its warmth, and let it remind you of the stories that connect us all.


With love,


Tracy
