A Festive Gifting Pop-Up Inspired by Sipping and Shopping with Brunette Wine Bar

This holiday season, we teamed up with the wonderful team at Brunette Wine Bar in Kingston, NY, for a scent-filled, festive evening of sipping and shopping!

Finding ways to connect with the community is something we value deeply at Keap, and we continue to think of new opportunities to share our candles in a meaningful way. Inspired by our desire to work with our local partner and bring warmth and joy to folks in the Hudson Valley, we hosted an in-person pop-up at the cozy wine bar Brunette. (Fun fact: you can find our Wild Figs candle burning in the bathroom at Brunette year-round!)

Some highlights of the night included getting to know new Keapers and sharing the candles in real life with some folks who’ve been fans for a long time. The Brunette team made sure to keep the atmosphere cozy and cool with the help of their holiday playlist, delicious cheese plates, and, to celebrate the post-World Cup excitement, a delicious Argentinian Malbec.🍷

Thank you to Jessie, Max, Katie, and the entire Brunette crew for hosting us and to all of the Keapers who stopped by for a beautiful evening. We can’t wait to bring more of these community-focused events to you in the near future. Stay tuned for more in 2023! 

Wishing you all a joyful start to the New Year!

We left social media in 2021 because we found its current mechanics didn’t align with our purpose to facilitate connection to the natural world, our loved ones, and our own spirits. Since then, our newsletter has become a vibrant place for healthy conversation around topics ranging from alternative business ownership models to happy hour cocktail recipes.

“I normally delete emails from businesses but with the Keap newsletter I was actually interested in reading through! Made me feel that you guys really care about us and the work you do."
