"Some Of Y'alls Cornbread Ain't Done In The Middle" — Funny Soy Candle
You know that one person at the family cookout who just gets it? This candle is for them. It's a handmade 9oz soy candle that delivers a classic Southern truth with a clean, long-lasting burn. People laugh out loud the second they read it — and then actually use it every single day.
Whether you're shopping for a funny birthday gift, a white elephant gift, a housewarming, or just because someone in your life deserves something that's actually them — this is it. It doesn't feel generic, doesn't smell like a department store, and definitely doesn't take itself too seriously.

Best Gifts for People Who Appreciate Southern Humor
Finding a gift for someone with a sharp sense of humor is genuinely hard. Most funny gifts are cheap, forgettable, or fall flat after the first laugh.

It works as a coworker gift, a Christmas gift under $20, a gift for your best friend who grew up in the South, or honestly just a treat for yourself. If you've been searching for unique Southern gifts, funny home decor candles, or gift ideas for people who have everything — this is it.
- Great birthday gift for women and men
- One of the best Christmas gifts under $20
- Doubles as actual home decor — not just a gag gift
- Funny enough to gift, useful enough to keep
- Ships ready to give — no extra wrapping needed
Funny and Unique Candles for Everyday Use — Not Just Special Occasions
The best candles are the ones that actually get lit. Not the ones that sit on a shelf looking pretty and never get touched. This one gets used — because every time someone reads the label, they remember why they love it. A candle that makes your home smell good and makes you laugh is a rare thing. This one does both.
With 10 scents ranging from fresh and airy (Clean Cotton, Sea Salt + Orchid) to warm and cozy (Cinnamon Vanilla, Christmas Warmth) to something a little unexpected (Peppered Passionfruit, Atlantis Whisper) — you can match the scent to the person, the season, or the room.
Candle Care Tips
- Trim the wick to ¼ inch before every burn
- Allow a full wax pool on the first burn — this prevents tunneling and maximizes scent throw
- Never burn longer than 3–4 hours at a time
- Use a snuffer to extinguish — blowing can splatter wax
- Keep away from drafts, children, and pets

An eco-friendly soy wax blend with a cotton wick and premium fragrance oils. Soy wax burns cleaner and longer than traditional paraffin — better for your home, better for the air.

Approximately 50–60 hours when properly cared for. Trim the wick before each use and let the wax pool reach the jar edges on the first burn for the best results.
Is this a good gift for someone who loves Southern humor?
It's one of the best. The quote — "Some Of Y'alls Cornbread Ain't Done In The Middle" — is a classic Southern expression that resonates with anyone who grew up hearing it at the dinner table. It makes a great birthday gift, Christmas gift, white elephant pick, or just-because gift.
