In addition to their vibrant and fun design, the candles are sustainable and animal-free, appealing to vegan consumers and those with an appreciation for novelty decor. The made-to-order skull candles may have a Gothic inspiration at first glace but are also inspired by subcultures like psychedelic rockers and ravers. A recent revival of 90s pop culture imagery is not only emerging in the world of fashion but is also translating to home decor. Etsy's handmade skull candles are a great example and are available in an array of techni-colored styles. The home accessories marry vibrance with sustainability and are affordable as an added bonus. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Organic Soy Candles:** The trend of organic soy candles presents an opportunity for businesses to cater to eco-conscious consumers who prioritize sustainability and natural ingredients. - **Novelty Home Decor:** The trend of novelty home decor offers businesses the chance to create unique and quirky products that appeal to consumers looking for unconventional and eye-catching pieces to decorate their homes. - **90s Pop Culture Revival:** The trend of 90s pop culture revival provides businesses with the opportunity to tap into nostalgic sentiments and create products that evoke feelings of nostalgia for consumers who have a fondness for the 90s. ### Where This Applies - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can explore innovative designs and materials to create unique and sustainable products that appeal to consumers seeking unconventional and eco-friendly decor pieces. - **Candle Making:** The candle making industry can explore the use of organic soy wax and create novelty designs to cater to the demand for eco-friendly and unique candles. - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can incorporate 90s pop culture-inspired elements into their designs, offering consumers a way to embrace nostalgia through clothing and accessories. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Food-Inspired Novelty Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-savage.md) - [Beeswax Sculptural Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/greentree.md) - [Sculpted Holiday Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pastel-palette.md) - [Lifelike Egg Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/egg-candles-1.md) - [Uniquely Shaped Pastel Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goober-candle.md) - [Vintage-Inspired Candle Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-maker.md) - [Spooky Bong-Shaped Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bong-candle.md) - [Functional Artisanal Candle Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artisanal-candle-collection.md) - [Animal Patterned Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cow-print-candle.md)
