One of besties, Elaine, and I are avid Yankee Candle fans. And buy avid, I mean addicts. We buy only Yankee, we burn only Yankee, we own the accessories, we collect the coupons, we have stockpiles of seasonal candles so as to never be caught without a Sun and Sand in the summer or a Holiday Bayberry at Christmas. We've been to the flagship store. Twice. In one year.
So it came as a pleasant surprise when E reported to me that Yankee Candle, genius company that they are, have today launched a line marketed toward guys called Man Candles. Names of scents include First Down and 2x4. Check it out:

Brilliant, right? Even the accessories are cool! This opens up a whole new line of gifts for my guy pals. Plus, I can totally see myself getting First Down with the football Illuma-Lid for Ravens game hosting this season.
But I have to say, it got me thinking about some other possibilities for future Man Candle scents.....
Boys Night Out - has stripper body glitter mixed into the wax and uses a $1 as a wick
Day Off - smells like pizza and dirty underwear; won't light because it's napping
Watch This - with a hint of beer combined with the distinct smell of blood, this candle can actually dial 911 for you
Junior High - smells like farts when lit; also giggles immediately after
I Know Where I'm Goin' - a confusing scent, it wanders all over the house refusing to ask where it belongs
Heeeyy Guuurl! - rainbow wax with a glow stick Illuma-Lid. Duh.
Yankee Candle, you've done it again. And should I see any of the aforementioned scents on the shelves, I also better see a royalties check comin' my way.
