Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a real scented candle or just a gag gift?
Both. It's a genuine, fully-functional soy candle hand-poured in Australia, with a funny label that makes it a memorable, useful gift.

What does the Football Fan candle actually smell like?
You choose the fragrance from six scents (from Vanilla Caramel to Lemongrass & Persian Lime). The "football fever, couch coaching, referee rage & half-time snacks" line is the joke on the label — the candle itself smells beautiful.

Can I personalise it?
Yes — the Large + lid (+$3) includes FREE engraving on the lid, so you can add a name or short message to make the gift truly one-of-a-kind.

Which size should I choose?
The Large is our most popular gift choice — a bigger 285 g candle with a 50+ hour burn, with free personalised lid engraving when you add a lid (+$3). Choose Medium (225 g, 40+ hr) if you'd like a smaller option.

Is it safe to burn around pets?
Yes. It's made from 100% pure soy wax with no paraffin, parabens or phthalates, making it a pet-friendly choice for homes with animals.

Who is this candle the best gift for?
Any football or footy fan — especially dads, partners, brothers and mates — for Father's Day, birthdays, Christmas or grand-final season.

Candle Care

For the best burn: trim the cotton wick to ~5 mm before each light, allow the wax to melt fully to the edges on the first burn, keep individual burns under 4 hours, and never leave a burning candle unattended.

Always burn within sight, on a heat-safe surface away from drafts. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Burn for no more than 4 hours at a time and stop when 1cm of wax remains.

On the first burn, let the wax melt all the way to the edge of the jar (about 3–4 hours) so it doesn’t tunnel. Trim the wick to about 5mm before every burn for a cleaner flame.

Wax: 100% soy wax — no paraffin. Fragrance: candle-grade fragrance oils used within IFRA guidelines, with no essential oils. Wick: cotton-based and lead-free.

Why no essential oils? Candles are a high-heat application, and many essential oils have low flash points and are hard to formulate consistently in wax — so we use candle-grade fragrance oils made for burning.
