Swear Word Candles Are Here to Help When You Seriously Need to Chill Out

Colder temps are here, which means it’s officially candle season! There’s something about lighting a candle that provides all sorts of warm, homey feels and scents, plus they’re the perfect way to unwind after a long day (especially if you don’t have time to take a bubble bath or read a book).

But even better than apple cinnamon or vanilla scents to help you chill? Swear word candles. These graphic babies have recently been on the rise at several different Etsy shops—and for the best reason. They literally exclaim how you feel for you, and by doing so, weirdly help you feel better after lighting one. The phrases on them just say it all so you don’t have to.

Take the seasonal delights from the Etsy shop SnuggleFuelCandleCo, colorfully expressing just how you feel about the fall season (the F*** yeah it’s autumn! is our personal mantra), Christmas time (Merry F****** Christmas), and more.

They also have other candles describing how they feel (e.g., “Leave me the F*** alone, I’m coloring) or even helpful advice (e.g., Let that s*** go).

If you’re feeling a bit sassy, check out YouJustGotBurnedCo, which has everything from your “Fresh Outta F***s”candle, to the ever popular phrases authoritatively telling you just who you are: “Yes I am a f****** princess.” There are also a few blatant ones that simply say things such as “S*** head,” which is great for a gift for the person who gets your humor.

Speaking of gifts, LightersCandleCo is great for a curse-y candle that’s a bit less aggressive—one that’s stating just how you feel about your BFF. Especially if you’ve been being a little bratty lately (The “Thanks for putting up with my s*** is the perfect way to thank someone). Our personal favorite is the one that says “Thank f*** for you.” What better way to show your love, really?

BaumDesignsShop is another great source for a candle that curses. Between their candle that says “S****, people are coming over, light this” on it to their “I f****** love you’ candle, we can’t pick a favorite, but they have so any options for any type of mood you’re in.

Last but not least, the SnarkyLights shop has some well, snarky, to say the least, candles to go along with their shop name. “I don’t sugar coat s***, I’m not Willy Wonka,” and “Oh for f***s sake” are just a few you’ll find in this shop.

The best part is, all of these candles are made from scratch and burn nice and slowly, so you can get the most out of your swear-tastic candle. Check each shop description to find out what kind of wax is used, the material of the jar, and the burning hours. And then burn, baby, burn!

Would you ever buy a candle like this, for you or a loved one? Which of these sweary candles is your favorite?
