Description
Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice gave us obstinate, headstrong girl, and this personalized soy candle prints the line for the reader who knows her own mind.
Austen wrote the phrase as a scolding, and readers of classical literature have worn it as a badge ever since.
- Natural soy wax blend with a clean, even burn
- Cotton wick with no zinc or lead
- Obstinate Headstrong Girl design with room to add a name or short message
- Reusable glass jar, vegan and non toxic, made with USA sourced materials
It is made for the friend who quotes Elizabeth Bennet, the daughter who argues her case like a barrister, and the book club member who always has an opinion. It is a compliment disguised as a candle.

Care Instructions
Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before every burn. A short wick keeps the flame low and even and stops the glass from blackening.
- Keep a burning candle within sight, and keep it away from children and pets.
- Never burn the candle near flammable items.
- Burn on a heat resistant surface, away from drafts, vents, and ceiling fans.
- Do not burn for longer than 4 hours at a time.
- Stop burning once about 1/2 inch of wax is left in the jar.
- The jar gets hot. Let it cool completely before you move it.

FAQ
How does personalization work?
Enter the name or short message you want when you order and we add it to the label before your candle is poured and shipped. Leave it blank for the design on its own.
Which scent should I choose?
The details tab lists the notes for each. Vanilla Bean is the cozy crowd pleaser, and Unscented is the safe pick for sensitive noses.
Is it safe to burn?
Yes. It uses a soy wax blend and a cotton wick with no zinc or lead. Follow the care tab for the cleanest, longest burn.
How long does it take to arrive?
Each candle is made to order, ships from the USA in 2 to 4 business days, and most orders arrive within 5 to 7 business days.
Obstinate, headstrong girl
Lady Catherine meant it as an insult. We made it a candle.
Dear Pride and Prejudice reader,
- Sick of book candles that smell like nothing in particular?
- Gifted a candle with a slogan no real reader would claim?
- Want your shelf to say something true about you?
Most literary candles stop at the label. This one starts with the line every Pride and Prejudice reader carries, then backs it up..... natural soy wax, a cotton wick, and a label that promises notes of sharp wit, quiet rebellion, and the sweet, sweet smell of being right in the end.

Before you ask
Pride and prejudice candle questions, answered
Is this a good Pride and Prejudice gift?
Yes, especially for the reader who quotes Lizzy Bennet in arguments. The line comes from Pride and Prejudice, spoken by Lady Catherine, and it lands instantly with anyone who knows the book.
What does it smell like?
You pick the scent at checkout. Vanilla Bean and Comfort Spice suit fireside chapters, the lighter scents suit summer porch reading, and unscented keeps the label without the fragrance. Each one is chosen to sit behind a book, not overpower it.
What is it made of, and can it be personalized?
A natural soy wax blend with a cotton wick, no zinc or lead, in a reusable 4 oz or 9 oz glass jar, amber or clear. Add a name or short message at the options.
How do I get the best burn?
Trim the wick to a quarter inch before each light and let the wax melt to the edges on the first burn. Soy rewards a little patience, like a slow burn romance.
When will it arrive?
Each candle is poured to order in 2 to 5 business days, then ships from the USA with tracking.
