Our mission is to make cool candles that remind you of good things.

The HOTWICKS story is pretty simple. Two guys were walking down the street one Sunday morning and caught a whiff of that awesome outdoor smoky fire smell. One guy said to the other guy, "wouldn't it be great if there was a candle that smelled like that?"

After searching for an "outdoor fire candle" online, we were surprised to find that pretty much every candle company offered the same selection of scents... french vanilla, apple blossoms, blueberry sunrises, autumn harvest... but nothing like what we were looking for.

So, as the old saying goes, "if you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself."

From there we brainstormed some smells we liked, bought some wax and wicks, and figured out how to make a candle. Now our candles come in a variety of great scents like BEER, STRIPPER, URINAL CAKE, HIPPIE, CAMPFIRE, PIGSKIN and more.

So, enjoy our site, suggest a scent, and treat yourself to a cool candle today!
