Numbers Speak For Themselves!
Hi! I'm so happy that you are here!
And a pleasure to meet you (virtually, of course)!
I am humbled and grateful for every single one of you and the support and interest you have shown in my small business! I take pride in every single candle, and being a perfectionist by nature, I strive to make you happy and provide a product I am proud to deliver to you and your loved ones!
I have a deep rooted love for candles (the obsession is so real) and I am a lover of poetry. I have even dabbled with it myself! I finally put the two together and PYR + WIT Candle Co. was born! PYR + WIT’s purpose is to create Flames for Thought. I want to spread poetry to the masses; sharing words, motivation and good spirits.
Candles somehow have a way of making us slow down. In this fast paced and ever-changing world, we could all use some time to take it slow and reflect on what is most important to us.
My hope is that you light a candle and enjoy your favorite poem, get your daily dose of motivation, or read the special dedication a loved one wrote for you. If the message makes you laugh, cry or smile, I have succeeded! At the end of the day – I want to make you feel special, good and relaxed!
Our Candles can be 100% Customized and Personalized to represent each individual customer, for any occasion.
We start with a Natural American Grown Soy Wax Blend and use 100% Phthalate Free Top-Quality Fragrance Oils. Rest assured your product is safe to burn and enjoy. Dyes are optional to your liking! We offer many different sizes and container options as well.
PYR + WIT
Many people ask me what the name PYR + WIT means, and how I came up with it.
PYR is derived from the Greek word for fire. You may have heard of the words pyromaniac or pyrotechnics. As for how it is pronounced, anything goes…peer or pire…I won’t judge! I am Greek American and I did this to include a bit of my heritage in a creative way.
If you have ever been called witty, that is where WIT comes from. I like to think of poets as witty for coming up with their amazing words! It’s a gift!
