The first snow of the season has fallen in Maine, and if there\u2019s one thing we\u2019re excited for, it\u2019s breaking out the winter candles. What better way to cozy up than with the fresh scent of pine trees or Maine maple wafting in the air? For something local, try Near and Native<\/a>\u2019s warm, woodsy fragrances, or pray for more snow with Sea Wicks \u201cHit the Slopes” ski-inspired<\/a> soy candle. Here\u2019s our roundup for this weekend in Maine:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
