Some people just aren’t into ordinary things. And thank the moth gods for that.
If you’re shopping for someone who prefers wax sculptures over wine, insect illustrations over Instagram quotes, and dark corners over daylight — this guide is for you.
Here are some gifts from the world of The Burning Bug that are equal parts strange, beautiful, and unforgettable:
Drip Candles for Bottles
Not your average table candle. These are made to melt into layered wax sculptures over time. Perfect for altars, corners, or cursed dinner parties.
Insect-Shaped Candles
Too pretty to burn, too weird not to. Whether it’s a beetle, moth or something unnamable, these hand-poured creations strike a perfect balance between art and eeriness.
Heavy Cotton T-Shirts with Curious Prints
Soft, comfortable, and designed to raise eyebrows. Our shirts feature hand-drawn bug-inspired art for those who wear their weird on their sleeve.
The "Soft as Shadow" Velveteen Blanket
Wrap yourself in something that feels like a soft whisper. For reading ghost stories or watching thunderstorms. Comes in black, obviously.
Strange Wall Prints
Insect diagrams. Botanical oddities. Prints that make your guests go "...what exactly is that?" Exactly.
Candle + Bottle Starter Set
Got someone new to the world of wax? This combo includes one of our signature drip candles and a repurposed vintage bottle. Just light and stare.
The Bug Card Set
Set of 5 mini prints or note cards with insect artwork. Gift them individually or keep them as tiny framed treasures.
Mystery Drops
Our limited-edition products that appear without warning. Perfect for adventurous spirits. Pro tip: sign them up for our newsletter so they don’t miss it.
Digital Gift Card (aka "The Weird Token")
When you're not sure which strange thing they want, let them choose their own. Our gift card is beautifully designed and available instantly.
A Handwritten Note
Every order from The Burning Bug can include a message. Write something weird, tender, poetic or cryptic — we’ll make sure it reaches them with style.
