Let’s Talk About What’s Inside
Aspen is a Pro-tier theme, which means it comes loaded well beyond the basics.
Sticky Story Scroll Section
This is the one. The feature that makes Aspen unlike anything else out there for candle and home fragrance brands.
As your customer scrolls down the page, your brand story unfolds block by block. The background stays anchored while each new section scrolls in – a fresh heading, new text, a new button, and a swapped lifestyle image on the side. Each scent family gets its own moment. Each collection gets its own story.
Coastal Lemon? Sunday morning, windows open, coffee in hand. Woods & Earthy? A cabin in October you never want to leave. You get to TELL those stories visually, right on your homepage… and your customers will feel every single one before they even click add to cart.
This is the kind of feature that usually costs thousands in a custom build. It’s built right into Aspen.
Featured Media Section
Sometimes one perfect image or video – does more work than a page full of words ever could.
The Featured Media Section gives you a full cinematic moment right on your homepage. A wide image or video paired with text and a button, ready for a slow-motion pour video, a cozy lifestyle shot, or a behind-the-scenes look at your small-batch process. Whatever tells your story best, this section was built for it.
Featured Collection Slider
Candle shoppers aren’t just shopping for a product. They’re shopping for a feeling. A room. A Tuesday night mood.
The Featured Collection Slider lets you showcase your scent families in a sleek, scrollable row so customers can find exactly the vibe they’re after without digging through a category page. Clean, visual, intuitive. Very “add to cart, oh and that one too.”
The Features That Sell For You (While You’re Busy Making Candles)
Shopify Wishlist
This one is a BIG deal. Most Shopify stores either skip wishlists entirely or pay $10–$15 a month for a wishlist app. Aspen has one built right in – no app, no monthly fee, no extra setup!! Your customers can save their favorite scents and come back ready to buy.
Slide-Out Cart Drawer, Free Shipping Progress Bar, Product Upsells in Cart
The second someone adds to cart, your slide-out drawer opens with a product upsell suggestion AND a progress bar nudging them toward free shipping. It’s the trio that quietly boosts your average order value every single day set it up once and let it work.
Email Popup
Grow your list without thinking about it. Capture emails from first-time visitors and turn them into repeat customers before they even leave your site. A customer who buys once is great a customer on your email list comes back every time you drop a new scent.
Falling Confetti (hearts, stars, snow & flowers)
New collection launch? Holiday drop? Trigger falling petals, stars, snowflakes, or hearts for that extra little “oh!” moment when customers land on your site. Tiny detail. Big delight. Very on brand for a business that already makes people feel things.
Countdown Launch Timer
Limited batch drop? Seasonal sale? Holiday collection almost gone? The countdown timer creates real, visible urgency that actually converts. Not gimmicky… just effective!
Rotating Announcement Bar, Mega Menu with Promo Images + Custom Menu Button Link
Rotate multiple messages across the top of your site… free shipping thresholds, new arrivals, seasonal promos without taking up extra space. Also add your social icons to the bar as well!
Plus a mega menu that lets you showcase collection imagery right inside your navigation, and a custom button link to send shoppers exactly where you want them!!
Testimonials and Reviews Slider
A clean, animated reviews slider puts your best customer feedback front and center — building trust with new visitors before they ever reach checkout. Because nothing sells a candle like someone saying “I’ve bought this three times and I’ll never stop.”
Product Upsells & Bundles
Built-in upsells naturally show customers more of what you offer a matching room spray, a candle care kit, a bundle deal… quietly increasing order value without any extra work from you.
Product Personalization Fields + Live Inventory Status
Offering custom labels, gift messages, or made-to-order details? Built-in personalization fields let customers add exactly what they need right on the product page. And with live inventory status, they can see exactly how many are left – nothing drives urgency like “only 3 left!”
Coupon Code Section (tap to copy)
Show off your discounts the way the big brands do a built-in, tappable coupon section right on your site. No app needed, no clunky workarounds. Just a clean, clickable deal your customers will actually use.
Floating Social Media Icon Bar
Keep your social channels front and center without cluttering your design. A sleek floating bar follows your customers as they browse – so your Instagram, TikTok, and Pinterest are always just one tap away.
Bonus Built-In Links Landing Page
A simple, beautifully designed link-in-bio style landing page built right into your theme — perfect for sending your Instagram traffic somewhere that actually matches your brand. No third-party link tools needed.
