Most joke gifts get a laugh and then a shelf in the garage. Housewarming candles get lit instead, and this one reads the same every time somebody picks it up: "Hope Your New Neighbors Aren't Serial Killers," on a clean white label wrapped around 13.5 oz of Toasted Marshmallow.
Hand poured from natural soy wax with a cotton wick and 60+ hours of burn time. Housewarming parties, holiday swaps, the friend who just closed on a place with a basement nobody wants to see: this is the one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a gag gift that the person will actually keep?
A: A funny candle is the rare gag gift with a second life, because the joke is on the label and the 13.5 oz jar earns its place on a shelf. It gets laughed at, then it gets used.
Q: Is soy wax vegan and cruelty free?
A: Yes. Soy wax is plant-based, and this candle is vegan, cruelty free, non-GMO and phthalate free, with a lead-free cotton wick.
Q: Is Toasted Marshmallow too sweet to burn every day?
A: No. The vanilla and amber underneath keep it closer to a campfire than to a bakery, which is why it works in a living room rather than only in a kitchen.
Q: Is this an okay gift for a white elephant exchange?
A: It is one of the better white elephant picks, because it gets stolen instead of abandoned. At 13.5 oz it also clears most exchange price limits without looking cheap.
Q: How do I keep the wick from smoking?
A: Trim the wick to 1/4" before every burn and keep the candle out of a draft. A long wick and a moving flame are what cause smoke.
Q: How should I store the candle if I am buying it early?
A: Keep it upright somewhere cool and out of direct sun, which keeps the wax level and the white label crisp. It will hold its scent for a year that way.
