Not too long ago, Yankee Candle Company - the store known for emanating a scent of lavender throughout the mall - released Man Candles. The series included guy-friendly scented candles in aromas like Riding Mower, 2x4, and First Down. Now they return with some new additions. Man Candles II feature some "Wow, we ... continue reading
Since inception, around ten or twenty candles have been featured on Cool Material. Generally we cover more watches than that in a month. Why? Because, quite frankly, most men don't really care about candles. Making things smell good is the job of deodorant, a little bit of cologne and some bathroom spray. But every ... continue reading
You probably already know the benefits of using whiskey stones instead of ice in your drink. Basically, they cool your drink without watering it down so you get all the flavor you expect at a bit more pleasant temperature. With these Icon Whiskey Stones, you can add a bit more fun to your boozing experience. Available ... continue reading
We're pretty sure granddads exist for two reasons: To teach us how to live and act like real men, and to show us how to say the most wildly inappropriate things at the worst possible times. Nothing reminds us of old grandpa more than the scent of rich tobacco. Let The Courlander Candle take you back to the time ... continue reading
If you only use candles to set the mood for a lady-friend while pouring some vino and softly playing Barry White, these are not the candles for you. If, on the other hand, you want to put some wax on display for general awesomeness, check out these Insight Candles. You can pick up a skull, a can of spray paint and/or ... continue reading
We don't normally do anything with scented candles other than avoid them like the plague. There are a few manly scents available, but most of them involve unpronounceable herbs and spices and smell like something no human has any business smelling. When Hershey's teams up with Hanna's Candles though, it's gonna be ... continue reading
Flicking someone off. Flipping the bird. Giving the finger. There are many different ways to describe the gesture commonly associated with the phrases "fuck you" and/or "fuck off," but none are quite as satisfying as actually doing it. While it used to be relegated to jerks in cabs, assholes in bars and random people ... continue reading
When someone enters our home, instead of the standard, "Hey, how's it going?" we'd much prefer our guest to arrive with a, "Well, good day sir!" That would quickly be followed with a tip of the hat and a quick adjustment of his monocle. What can we say, we're gentlemen. Of course, as we enjoy a tumbler with our guests ... continue reading
With scents like "Fresh Linen" and "Lilac Blossoms," venturing into your local Yankee Candle shop is a fairly feminine experience. Sure they smell good, but you just get the feeling that most of them come with a coupon for 50% a European facial. Outside of just placing your order for a jar of "Beach Flowers" online, ... continue reading
Now that 4/20 has passed, that little pothead in your life may be feeling a bit down. The bong won't be broken out with such fanfare for another year, and all that dirty water has begun to mix with salty tears. If you want to cheer him up and get him back to his giggling self, hand him a cake (or special brownie) ... continue reading
We consider ourselves to be level headed people, but even we want to put a fist through a wall every once in a while. Something happens and it's just one of those days feelin' like a freight train. Creating fire is normally a calming application of those explosive tendencies, but what about the people that live in ... continue reading
As a lighting source, we never found much use for candles. Why bother with a chance for fire, messy wax cleanup and/or potential pet hazards when recessed cans and a dimmer switch can give you almost the same mood lighting? Because candles inherently look cool, they work when the power is out and they're much cheaper ... continue reading
There are times in your life when a kid will come up to you with something he/she created (perhaps your own child) and that thing will be without a doubt, 100% crap. It may be a painting, a science fair experiment or a meal (mmm Play-Doh Fries), but whatever it is, as a self-respecting adult you will tell the youngster ... continue reading
