CDW Incense Ashtray
“Nothing lifts my spirits quicker then the first trail of smoke coming from a freshly lit incense stick. Perhaps it’s the California hippie in me, but truly there is nothing better.

Even better are these incense sticks from Candy Design & Works collab with Kuumba, with 30 minutes of burn time you have the perfect end of work day de-stress. Pair it with a little meditation for an ever better experience.” – Kari, Senior Interior Designer
