It is not a polite compliment and it is not meant to be. "You Work Harder Than An Ugly Stripper" is the highest praise available in a workplace where nobody says anything sincere out loud.
Hand poured in the Signature Kraft jar with 60+ hours of Wild Huckleberry. A coworker carrying a whole team, a bad quarter survived, a birthday at a desk: this is the one.
Why You'll Love It
- "You Work Harder Than An Ugly Stripper" — printed in full on the kraft label
- Natural soy wax with a cotton wick — a clean, even burn and no petroleum wax
- Phthalate free and non-toxic — vegan, cruelty free and non-GMO
- Wild Huckleberry — huckleberry and lemon zest over Tahitian vanilla
- 60+ hours in a 13.5 oz jar, roughly the length of a bad quarter
- Kraft label on reusable glass, so the punchline reads across a kitchen
- Hand poured in small batches in Minnetonka, Minnesota — made in the USA
Perfect Gift For
A coworker carrying a whole team, a bad quarter survived, a desk birthday, a promotion, a work bestie, an office secret santa, and the person who answers emails at times nobody should be awake.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this joke safe to give at work?
A: It suits a team that already talks bluntly and does not suit a formal office, so the test is whether the line would raise an eyebrow in your break room. Handed over privately it travels further.
Q: What is the best compliment to give a hard-working colleague?
A: Say the specific thing they did rather than calling them hard-working in general, because everybody is told they work hard and almost nobody is told why it mattered. The joke opens the door.
Q: Which of these jars is the biggest?
A: This is the 13.5 oz Signature jar with 60+ hours in it, the largest of the sizes this saying comes in. The 9 oz versions are the same joke on a smaller shelf.
Q: Does a berry scent suit a man's house?
A: Huckleberry reads as dark fruit rather than as a floral or a candy scent, which is why it works in a shared home. The vanilla base keeps it warm rather than sweet.
Q: Is this a good desk birthday gift?
A: It is funny out loud, which is what a gift opened in front of a team needs to be, and it goes home at the end of the day. Nothing about it needs explaining.
Q: How many people can one candle be a gift from?
A: One person or ten — a full-size jar carries either, and a card with names on it does the rest. Group gifts usually just add the card.
