Every time I’m at a summer barbecue or birthday party, it feels like someone is always looking for a lighter. And I’ve lost track of how many times I grabbed the cheapest one at a convenience store, only to throw it away after just a few uses because it stopped working. Plus, don’t get me started on the dozens of lighters I’ve lost through the years because they were just so unremarkable I didn’t care to keep track of them. However, there’s one brand that hasn’t let me down — BIC.
The company has been making lighters for decades and they’re offering a great deal to celebrate their 50th anniversary. Now through July 9, you can BOGO 50% off when you order a 6-pack of their Design My BIC® Lighters. I’ve already ordered two sets and I’m gonna give you five reasons why:
1. Design My BIC® lets you create personalized lighters with your own photos, logos, and text.
What I love about this deal (outside of the savings) is that I never even knew BIC offered this as an option. The process is really simple and I had so much fun creating my custom lighter. Whether you want to make one that displays your dog, company logo, family photo, or favorite quote, the options are endless.
2. It’s a truly unique party favor that everyone will love.
Like BIC, my parents are also celebrating a 50th anniversary this summer and a dozen of us are going on a cruise to Alaska. After seeing this deal, I made the cutest lighters as a surprise keepsake and I can’t wait to see everyone’s reaction to them. I might even have to make another set for when I turn 40 in August. They’re also super fun for bachelorette parties, wedding favors, and family reunions.

3. When you use the coupon code BIC50DMB at checkout, each lighter will only cost $3.74.
Sure, these are a little more expensive than a regular lighter, but I’m definitely willing to pay a few extra dollars for such a fun and unique keepsake. Plus, since BIC lighters get up to 3,000 lights, I know that unlike cheap brands, each one is safe to use and will last for a long time.
4. I’ll never have to worry about losing it.
Like I said, I’ve lost dozens of lighters through the years. Whether someone walked off with it, or I mindlessly left it somewhere, it’s so frustrating to not be able to find one when I need it. (Raise your hand if you’ve ever lit birthday candles with a piece of burning paper!) But when my personalized lighter with my parents’ wedding picture on it arrives, I know I’ll be about 700 times less likely to lose it.
5. Shipping is free any time you order My BIC® Lighters.
I feel like most companies only offer free shipping on orders of $40 or more, but when you order any Design My BIC® set, you’ll get free shipping. BIC’s website says to allow a minimum of 2-4 weeks for processing and shipping, so be aware of that if you’ve got a super tight turnaround. Also, you can only order them online at BIC.com. But if you happen to be attending the Summerfest music festival in Milwaukee from June 29 – July 1, BIC will have their own booth with a fun photo activation and you can get more savings if you customize and buy yours there!
