Candles Are For Men Too: Gift a 'Mandle' This Father's Day

Father's Day is just around the corner, and while you might be stumped for ideas, we've got you covered. Ditch the socks and ties this year and consider a gift that's both practical and indulgent: a 'Mandle'.

Yes, you read that right! Candles aren't just for women. In recent years, there's been a growing trend of men embracing the relaxing and aromatic benefits of candles. And let's face it, who doesn't enjoy a little ambiance and a calming scent?

Why Mandles Are The Perfect Father's Day Gift

  • Stress Relief: Scents like cedarwood, sandalwood, and bergamot have calming properties that can help reduce stress and promote relaxation. Candles help create a tranquil atmosphere, perfect for unwinding after a long day.
  • Masculine Scents: There's a wide variety of scents tailored to men's preferences, from woodsy and spicy to fresh and clean. 
  • Enhance Focus and Productivity: Certain scents, such as eucalyptus, peppermint, and citrus, are known to enhance focus and clarity. A well-placed candle in a home office can create a more productive environment and many men like to burn a candle whilst they are working. 
  • Versatility: Candles are versatile and can be used in various settings, from a relaxing bath to a backyard gathering. They are not just for indoor use; outdoor candles with scents like citronella can make summer evenings more enjoyable by keeping bugs at bay. 

When choosing a 'MANdle' for your dad, consider these factors:

  • Scent Profile: Think about his favorite scents or activities. Does he love the outdoors? Choose a woodsy or earthy scent. Does he enjoy a classic cocktail? Opt for a citrus or amber fragrance.
  • Size and Duration: Choose a size that fits his needs. A smaller candle is perfect for a desk or bedside table, while a larger one is great for creating a relaxing atmosphere in a living room.
