About us

Big Heart Candle Company was built in 2018 by Andrea Kleinman-Parker who is on a mission to give back to the heart health community. In 2009, Andrea was diagnosed with heart failure - congestive heart failure and idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy, to be exact. Literally, she has a big heart! 

Update: in 2024, my kids were diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy.  This means means heart failure and cardiomyopathy diagnoses are not longer “idiopathic,” and I feel more committed than ever to raise funds for research!

Big Heart Candle Company's mission is to support the heart health community by donating at least 10% of all profits to the American Heart Association in an effort to fund the research and education of all things heart related. By choosing Big Heart Candle Company candles, you are not only purchasing an amazing candle that will fill your home with a beautiful scent, but you are also supporting heart health research. 

Housed in a home-based studio in Plano, Texas, we carefully hand pour each candle. In fact, we hand mix, hand pour, hand label, hand wrap, hand box--well, you get it. Our candles are made by a real person (who is likely listening to 80's music or classical piano). Our goal is to bring you a product that will fill your home with a memorable scent while you are enjoying life and creating fabulous memories! Thank you for checking out our website, supporting small business, and giving back to the heart health community--that is the soul of our business!
