She lights it
Out of the box it looks like a beautiful plain candle. One gold line on the glass and nothing else.

The real problem
Finding a nice gift was never the hard part
Nice gifts get put away. The scarf goes in a drawer. The candle stays on the shelf, too pretty to burn. You get a warm thank-you and then never see it again. A hidden verse changes that maths: the words only appear once she lights it. The gift asks to be used.
✓ The one candle she has a reason to burn
How the reveal works
Nothing shows until she lights it
Unlit, it is a plain white candle with one line of gold on the glass. About an hour in, the wax turns clear and her verse appears in a ring around the flame. Blow it out and it disappears. Light it tomorrow and it is back.
✓ Returns every single time she lights it
Why it gets kept
It points at her, not at a category
A generic cross ornament says I know you are religious. Her verse says I know you. Pick the line she already underlines, or write your own in up to 24 characters - a date, a name, the thing you would say if you were standing there.

Three things happen
2
The verse appears
Around an hour of burn time and the melted wax goes clear. The words read right through it, circling the flame.
3
It comes back
The verse hides again when the flame is out, and returns every time she lights it. Not a one-time trick.
After the wax
The words are on the glass, not in the wax
That is the difference between a candle and a keepsake. The verse is printed on the inside of the glass and reads through the melted wax - so it is still there on the last burn, and the vessel washes out and keeps going as a holder for pens, brushes or matches. Nothing about this gift disappears in six weeks.
Four things worth knowing
The short version, if you are deciding on your phone.
You choose the words
Three psalms or your own line. The candle is made to say one specific thing to one specific person.
It does not sit unused
The verse is the reason to burn it. Unlit, she is missing the whole point of the gift.
Clean, not headachey
Coconut-soy wax, cotton-paper wick, non-toxic fragrance. No soot, no next-morning headache.
Nothing left for you to do
It arrives boxed, with your note already written. No wrapping, no card to buy, no trip to the post office.
Against the gift you would otherwise buy
The honest comparison is not another candle. It is the safe present that gets shelved.

How to burn it
- First burn: let the whole top surface melt. It sets the pool for every burn after.
- The verse needs roughly an hour of burning before it reads clearly.
- Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each light so it does not smoke.
- Do not burn for more than 3 hours at a time.
- Stop when about 1/2 inch of wax is left, then wash the glass out and keep it.
Shipping & returns
Shipping: Free on two or more candles. $4.99 on a single candle. Orders leave in 1-2 business days and arrive in 3-6. Shipping to a different address than the billing one is normal here - most of these are gifts.
Returns: 30 days. If it is not what you hoped for, email us and we refund it, including candles that have been lit. Personalised candles included.
We are new, so here is the deal
Psalm & Wick has not been around long enough to show you a wall of five-star reviews, and we are not going to invent one. What we can do is carry the risk: burn it, read it, and if it is not what you hoped for, tell us within 30 days and we refund it. Personalised candles included, which almost nobody does.
The questions people actually ask
What if she never burns it? She saves everything.
This is the single most common way a candle gift fails, and it is why this one is built the way it is. She cannot see what you chose for her without lighting it. The box says so on the front. And because the verse comes back every burn, there is no 'using it up' - burning it does not spend the thing that makes it special.
Is a Bible verse on an object a bit much?
It can be, when it is a verse. It is not, when it is her verse. Pick the line she already goes to, or write your own. That is the difference between a gift that says I know you are a Christian and one that says I know you.
Can I write my own words instead of a psalm?
Yes. Choose Write Your Own and type up to 24 characters - a verse in your own wording, a name, a date, a line from a letter. We set it in the same gold lettering.
How long before the verse shows up?
About an hour of burning on the first light, once the melt pool has spread. After that it comes up faster, and it is back every time she lights it.
What is left when the candle is finished?
The glass, with the verse still printed on it. Washed out, it keeps going as a holder for pens, brushes or matches.
Can you ship it straight to her?
Yes. Put her address in at checkout and add your gift note - we write it on the card by hand and never include a price anywhere in the parcel.
What if it arrives broken, or she just does not like it?
30 days, refunded, lit or unlit, personalised or not. Email us and we sort it out.
