The word "officially" is doing a lot of work. It means the notice period is over, the handover is somebody else's document now, and the answer to every question about it is the same. "Officially Retired. Not My Problem Anymore."

Hand poured in the Signature Kraft jar with 60+ hours of Golden Patchouli. A retirement party, a final Friday, a first week with an empty calendar: this is the one.

Why You'll Love It

  • "Officially Retired. Not My Problem Anymore" — the whole line on natural kraft paper
  • 100% soy wax — plant based, clean and even, with no petroleum wax
  • Phthalate free and non-toxic — vegan, cruelty free and non-GMO
  • A warm citrus-and-patchouli scent that suits any room in a house
  • 60+ hours in a 13.5 oz jar, which is a present rather than a stocking filler
  • Reusable glass under the kraft label, worth keeping once the wax is gone
  • Hand poured in small batches in Minnetonka, Minnesota — made in the USA

Perfect Gift For

Retirement parties, a final Friday, a colleague of many years, a father-in-law, a whole-team collection, a leaving lunch, and the person who has been redirecting their own emails since March.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a good retirement gift for a woman?
A: Something for the house she is about to spend a great deal more time in is the safest bet, and a scented jar suits almost any taste. Pick the scent on her kitchen, not on her job.

Q: Is one candle enough on its own for a retirement gift?
A: A full-size 13.5 oz jar reads as a proper present rather than an afterthought, particularly with a saying printed on the front. A card signed by everyone finishes it.

Q: What goes well with a candle as a retirement present?
A: A card the whole team has written in does more than a second object would, because the words are the part that gets kept. Anything perishable competes with the party food.

Q: How would you describe scent 4 to somebody who has never smelled patchouli?
A: Think warm and slightly resinous rather than incense-heavy, with orange on top and a soft fruit note underneath. It is closer to a woody perfume than to anything sweet.

Q: What size room does a 13.5 oz candle suit?
A: It is built for an average living room or kitchen and will carry into an adjoining space. In a studio apartment an hour at a time is usually plenty.

Q: Is any part of this candle made overseas?
A: Every jar is hand poured in Minnetonka, Minnesota, in batches small enough to check by hand. Nothing about it is poured overseas and relabelled.
