Picture a classroom, two 3rd graders, and a teacher’s introduction that sparked a 40-year friendship. From weddings and kids to the beautiful chaos of neurodivergent life, we’ve been inseparable—like two peas in a pod (which is exactly why you’ll find sweet peas in our logo).
For years, we dreamed of building something together. Krikit & Crab was born out of burnout, daydreams, and a deep-seated need for creativity that actually meant something. We aren't just selling scents; we’re sharing the friendship and "fire" we’ve poured into every hand-poured batch. We’re two best friends who decided that life is too short for boring fragrances and corporate polish.
Meet the Girls!
We are Kristen and Casey—two "neurospicy" moms, best friends, and fragrance nerds based right here in Niagara. As neurodivergent women raising neurodivergent kids, we have a literal "sense" for how scent impacts focus, calm, and creativity. We’re the ones behind the late-night brainstorms, the spilled wax, and the small-batch magic. We lead with honesty, a sprinkle of chaos, and the belief that the best things in life are handmade with intention (and maybe a little bit of PG-13 humor).

Our mission
Our mission is simple: to help you light up your life—naturally and unapologetically. We aim to provide sustainable, high-quality home fragrances that help you romanticize the little moments, reclaim your space, and turn the "everyday" into something worth lighting a match for. Whether you’re unwinding from the chaos or trying to find your focus, we’re here to help you breathe again.
Our vision
We believe your environment is a tool for empowerment. Our vision is to create a world where home fragrance is a soulful ritual rather than just a product. By using natural, renewable soy wax and eco-conscious ingredients, we envision a cleaner, kinder way to get cozy. We’re building a brand that leaves a lighter footprint on the planet while leaving a lasting impression on your mood, helping everyone find grounded comfort in a world that often feels a little too loud.
