First places are short on counter space and long on thin walls. The best housewarming candles for a first apartment are the ones that fit somewhere, and this 9 oz jar does, while saying what the tenant is already thinking: "Happy New Home Hope Your Neighbors Aren't Weirdos."

Hand poured from 100% natural soy wax, 45+ hours of Raspberry Sangria in a clear jar you can watch burn down the middle of a shelf. Moving day, a first lease, a hostess gift.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a good small gift for someone moving into an apartment?
A: A 9 oz scented candle is the right scale for a first apartment, where counter space is the scarcest thing in the place. It fits anywhere and is still specific enough to be remembered.

Q: How long does a 9 oz jar candle last?
A: 45+ hours of burn time. That is six weeks or so of lighting it for an hour after work.

Q: What should I bring to a housewarming party when I barely know the host?
A: Bring something for the home rather than for the person — a candle works whether they cook, entertain or neither. The saying on this one does the introductions at the door for you.

Q: Is the fragrance oil in this candle phthalate free?
A: Yes, the fragrance oils are phthalate free and the wick is cotton with no lead core. The wax is 100% natural soy, vegan and non-GMO.

Q: Is this candle small enough for a nightstand or a bathroom shelf?
A: At 2.75 x 2.75 x 3.5" it takes up roughly the footprint of a coffee cup. That is small enough for a nightstand, a bathroom shelf or the corner of a desk.

Q: Is the candle ready to hand over as it is?
A: Yes. The printed label is the whole point of the gift, so it goes straight from your hands to theirs with no wrapping paper required.
