Just one more chapter! (We both know you’re lying.)

We’ve all been there—the house is quiet, the tea is warm, and the plot has finally thickened. The Past My Bedtime Candle is the official light source for midnight readers and the "just one more page" liars. Designed with the indecisive reader in mind, this unscented soy wax candle provides the perfect ambiance for your reading nook without competing with the scent of your favorite old books.

 While you’re burning the midnight oil, you’re also lighting the way for others. Unlike those "buck-fiddy" candles from Wally's World just down the street, 100% of these proceeds fund Literacy SC’s statewide mission. We are a lean, debt-free nonprofit, meaning your purchase goes straight to the front lines—helping an adult or family in South Carolina gain the reading skills they need to write their own success story.

The "Size Matters" Talk: Let's be real, folks. This candle is small, boutique, and definitely didn't come from a big-box bargain bin. It’s an overpriced 9oz pour, but it sure does pack a punch of purpose. You’re paying for a custom, Literacy SC-designed label that looks killer on a bookshelf, is made from really cool soy wax, and serves as the ultimate gift for your favorite bibliophile or hometown nerd.

The Details:

• Small But Mighty: A 9oz boutique pour, perfectly charming for nightstands and reading nooks. Just don't let it burn those books.

• Clean Burn: Unscented, 100% Soy Wax for a long-lasting, soot-free experience.

• Aesthetic: Features a vintage bedtime-inspired label designed right here in Columbia, South Carolina.

• Impact: Your purchase provides immediate funding for the supplies that go into our Turning Pages curriculum kits used in our private tutoring program.

Note: This boutique gift item is a mission-support purchase. While the design celebrates a general love for reading, 100% of the proceeds are still reinvested into our debt-free infrastructure and Turning Pages curriculum kits.
