If We Don't Laugh, We Chai Candle

If We Don’t Laugh, We Chai

A Chris Galletta Signature Candle

There are candles, and then there are coping mechanisms in a frosted glass jar.

If We Don’t Laugh, We Chai is Chris Galletta’s aromatic answer to late-stage capitalism, group texts from your mother, and the gnawing sense that it’s all a bit much. This warm, spiced blend of quiet resignation is less a scent and more a therapeutic suggestion.

Crafted from a luxurious vegan wax blend and poured by hand into a display-worthy frosted vessel, this candle whispers: “Sure, the world’s on fire—but have you tried chai?”

Light it while doomscrolling, hosting a dinner party with people you secretly dislike, or just staring out the window muttering, “this is fine” into your cup.
