I have a special holiday offering this year: Smart Bitches limited edition candles!
I partnered with Wax Cabin Candle Company, an independent small chandlery, to offer two limited edition candles just for the holiday season!
They are on sale now, Friday November 28, through early January, and you can buy one or both in a gift set.
I might have had a good time with Photoshop while working on this project.
I worked really hard on making sure the scents were mellow and pleasant. I was going for ‘warm and elegant,’ and I think I hit it. Many thanks to Jen from Wax Cabin for being so patient with me.
The Smart Bitches 20th Anniversary candle is an 11 ounce hand poured soy candle with notes of sea salt, book pages, sandalwood and jasmine.
The Bad Decisions Book Club candle, also 11 ounces, is designed to be the perfect pairing for late night reading, with scents of sweet tobacco, book pages, leather, rose, and sandalwood. I had a marvelous time picking out the scents.
I was worried the scent wasn’t strong enough when I took them out of the box, but once lit they give a warm and soothing scent that isn’t overpowering.
Each candle is $28, or $50 for both in a gift set, with free shipping on orders over $70. The candles are hand-poured with 100% soy wax, and each is in a glass jar that you can reuse or refill. They should burn between 60 and 70 hours.
(Why Decadent? It’s only the most famous, and most NSFW work review ever written. SRSLY NSFW!)
So if you’re looking for the perfect gift for yourself or the book lovers in your life, the 2025 Smart Bitches Candle Collection will be available now through early January.
You can shop small, support the site, and spread light and warmth this year.
Happy holidays everyone!
What a great idea, #Sarah, and since both candles sound lovely, I must purchase both!
I looked at the review for Decadent and said to myself, yeah, I remember reading that a couple years back when it first appeared. Then I realized it was more than a couple years. We’ve been together almost 2 decades and what a good time that has been. Though, mind blown.
How wonderful!
This is glorious!
Thank you!!! I’m so happy you’re into this idea! Thanks for celebrating with us, and I hope you love them.
I’m really tempted to get them for myself! I love me some SBTB merch, and winter is a great time for candles.
Honestly, I’m not much of a candle fan, but I think I could be for these!
