About Us

We got tired of boring candles.

Every gift shelf looks the same: pretty candles with sweet words nobody means. We wanted candles that say what you’re actually thinking, whether it’s at a birthday, a bachelorette party, a baby shower, or a holiday dinner you didn’t choose.

The world has enough hate, so we’re making more laughs. Every label is a joke you can give to someone you love, and a candle that makes people smile before they even light it.

So we made Don’t Be a Wick Co.: candles with an attitude problem.

What’s in every candle

  • Poured in the USA
  • Made to order
  • Coconut soy wax
  • Phthalate-free fragrance
  • Paper-core cotton wick
  • Designed to burn slowly and evenly, with a smooth, creamy look while lit
  • Clear burn directions on every label, because we’re sassy, not careless

Want a personalized candle?

Got a line, an inside joke, or a name that deserves its own label? Tell us what you have in mind, and if it’s fit to print, we’ll make it. Our rule is simple: if Jesus wouldn’t like it, we probably won’t either. But he turned water into wine at a wedding, so we know he loves a good party. Every custom candle is made to order and all sales are final, so we’ll send you a proof to approve before we pour.

Parties, weddings, and bulk orders

Planning something fun? Contact us for retirement parties, weddings, bachelorette parties, and any other event worth celebrating. Bulk orders come with a discount, so tell us the occasion, how many candles you need, and the labels you love, and we’ll take care of the rest.

All sales are final

Every candle is made to order, so we do not accept returns or exchanges. If your order arrives damaged or something isn’t right, send us a photo within [7] days and we’ll make it right.

What we believe

  • Gifts should get a laugh before they get unwrapped.
  • Funny and thoughtful can be the same thing.
  • Less hate, more big belly laughs.

We started Don’t Be a Wick Co. because the world needs more laughter and less hate. We make candles that say what you’re thinking, and we hope they make someone you love laugh out loud. Light it, laugh, and share the love,

P & L aka, the Wicks.
