Celebration Candles

1-21 Year Numbered Traditional Countdown Birthday Candle

Regular price $34.00

Start a birthday tradition your family can enjoy with your child from ages 1 through 21. Our original "traditional" birthday countdown candle is burned each year to celebrate another birthday, creating memories that will last through childhood.

The classic design marks a child's journey with illustrations from the stork's arrival through tricycles, bicycles, graduation and wedding. If you had a yearly birthday candle as a child it may have looked just like this one, which we had made since 1980.  We have many customers who have passed this tradition from one generation to the next.

  • Numbered from ages 1-through 21
  • 15 inches tall and 2.5 inches at the base
  • Available in pink, blue or white
  • Handcrafted in the USA
  • FREE SHIPPING

A meaningful gift for a new baby, first birthday, baptism or christening. To personalize, see our new personalized birthday countdown candles.

I live this tradition in my family…unfortunately the prices are getting unaffordable!

My mother bought me a traditional birthday candle for my daughter 28 years ago and we enjoyed the tradition of burning it each year and now I am passing the tradition on by purchasing the traditional candle for others! Thank you so much for making a unique and quality product!

Candle was nice. Would have been nicer if it came in a box to give and to save it in for the next 18 years. nothing fancy, just a box.

Much smallerthan stated, by 1/4 inches top to bottom. That may not sound like a big difference, but the burn each year will be less.
Please update the description.
Candle arrived in good condition.
