Soy and Sass 'New Parents Est. 2026' Candle
✓ Product data checked October 23, 2026
Soy and Sass hand-pours this 9 oz candle in the USA with soy wax and a lead-free cotton wick. The jar reads 'New Parents Est. 2026' in gold-foil script, with the line 'Smells nothing like dirty diapers', so it lands as a wink rather than another baby item. The scent blends coconut, vanilla and vetiver, and the seller quotes about 50 hours of burn time. It is one of the few baby-shower gifts aimed at the parents themselves, for the rare quiet evening once the baby is asleep. Rated 4.7 by over 2,100 buyers, around $22.
