Nobody hands out medals for surviving the witching hour, the group project, or the fourth "mom" in one minute. There should be medals. For now, there is this candle.

This mom encouragement gift tells the whole truth in four words. Being A Mom Is Hard. And she is doing it anyway.

Who this is for:

• The new mom running on fumes and unconditional love
• The friend deep in a season where every day is long
• Anyone needing a new mom gift that validates before it celebrates
• The mother who needs permission to exhale, in candle form

Scent for the exhale. Lavender for the twenty minutes that are hers. Vanilla Bean for comfort without effort. Cinnamon Chai for warm mornings even on hard days. Hard job. Good light.

What you get:

• 9oz candle available in an amber or clear glass jar
• Vegan blend of coconut, apricot, and soy wax with a small amount of food-grade paraffin for structure and scent throw
• Clean-burning, biodegradable, and free from toxins, parabens, and phthalates
• Cotton wick
• Printed in the USA
• Makes a gift she will actually keep

It is hard. She is doing it beautifully. The candle just agrees.
