Our Story

The journey behind Kryxchrel

How It All Began

Kryxchrel was born from a passion for creating beautiful, meaningful gifts that bring joy to both the giver and receiver. What started as a hobby creating handmade gifts for friends and family quickly blossomed into something more when people began requesting custom gifts and admiring the thoughtful presentation.

In 2018, we decided to turn this passion into a small business based in Johnson City, Tennessee. Our mission has always been to transform ordinary presents into extraordinary experiences through thoughtful wrapping and unique handcrafted items.

Today, we continue to create each product with the same care and attention to detail as we did when making gifts for our loved ones. Every candle poured, every soap cut, and every package wrapped carries with it the intention to bring warmth and delight.

Our Creation Process

Every item at Kryxchrel is carefully handcrafted in our small studio. We believe in the value of slow, intentional creation – taking the time to ensure each product meets our standards for quality and beauty.

For our candles, we hand-pour small batches using 100% natural soy wax and premium essential oils. Our soaps are made using the traditional cold process method, allowing them to cure for several weeks to create a gentle, long-lasting bar.

When it comes to gift wrapping, we treat each package as a unique canvas, selecting papers, ribbons, and embellishments that complement the gift inside and reflect the recipient's personality or the occasion being celebrated.

By keeping our production small-scale, we maintain quality control and the ability to customize products to our customers' preferences.

Meet the Maker

"I've always found joy in creating beautiful things and bringing smiles to people's faces through thoughtful gifts. Each product I create is infused with care and attention to detail, because I believe that handmade items carry a special energy that mass-produced products simply can't replicate."

"My background in art and aromatherapy has influenced my approach to creating products that appeal to multiple senses and evoke positive emotions. I'm constantly experimenting with new techniques and materials to bring fresh ideas to my collection."

- Emily, Founder of Kryxchrel
