Thank you for supporting our small business.

We’re Daren and Molly, the heart behind The Magnolia Tree—a family-owned brand built on creativity, quality, and a love for making people happy. What started as a simple desire for cleaner, greener products turned into a passion for crafting beautiful, thoughtful goods.

Our collection includes hand-poured candles, wax melts, parfum rollers, bath salts, and curated boutique gifts, all designed to bring a little luxury and comfort into everyday life.

Daren is the master of precision—perfecting wax pours and packaging late into the night. (Just don’t ask him to name a candle!) Molly is our creative mind and scent specialist, always searching for unique pieces and dreaming up new ways to make gifting special.

For us, The Magnolia isn’t just a business—it’s an adventure and a way to share joy with our community. Every product reflects our commitment to quality, sustainability, and heartfelt craftsmanship.

Iowa City, Iowa

We are proudly rooted in Iowa City, Iowa—a community that’s in our hearts and our history. Black and Gold runs through our veins (Go Hawks!), and we cherish everything that makes this town special.

Daren is Iowa City born and raised, while Molly has called this vibrant community home for over 20 years. Together, we’ve built our life here because we value its diversity, spirit, and sense of belonging. Iowa City isn’t just where we live—it’s part of who we are.

Hand Poured & Packaged

All of our wax melts are hand poured and packaged. They are a true treat. We offer local delivery and two pick up sites in Eastern Iowa. We can't wait for you to try our melts. They are exquisite.

Got a couple samples and they are awesome! The scents are so good and last forever! You have to try the Fiddle Fig! I accidentally left my warmer on for over a day and could STILL smell is just as strong as when I first put it in! Can't wait to grab more!

I have used Fiddle Fig in my home and it is the best melted wax scent I've ever smelled!!! My husband and kids love it and my nephew is insistent that I order him some as soon as possible. I plan to do just that! Such a great product from an amazing team of people!

The scents are fantastic! Unique variety and they have a great throw and long lasting. Fiddle Fig for the win!
