Posted on by

Life is a series of ups and downs. Sometimes, it feels like everything has fallen into place. Other times, it might seem like everything is falling apart. For those latter moments, just remember to keep calm and carry on, and light one of these candles by the Flicking Candle Company while you’re at it.

The company makes specialty candles that commemorate life’s many disappointments, from being friend zoned or de-friended to a cancelled vacation or grandma’s last Christmas tree (sob.) Each one is formulated with the scent of the disappointment on its label.

Strange as it may seem, the candles might just might appeal to your sense of humor and encourage you to begin walking on the path of recovery so you can move on.

Pelty Bluetooth Speaker Runs on the Power of Candlelight

Posted on by

A candlelit dinner is can certainly be romantic. A candlelit dinner with fine music would be even better. The latter is what you’ll get with the Pelty bluetooth speaker.

Pelty 620x372magnify

It’s an unusually designed speaker that runs not on batteries or an AC plug, but on thermal energy provided by the candle that’s burning in it. It’s made possible because of the built-in thermo-electric generator, which uses the difference in heat provided by the two different metals that’s in it to generate the electric current.

The entire thing is made from ceramic materials, so you don’t have to worry about the speaker catching fire in the middle of your favorite song.

Pelty is currently up for funding on Indiegogo, where a minimum pledge of $229(USD) will get you one of your very own.

Light It Up: This Bluetooth Speaker Runs on Fire Power

Posted on by

Pelty Speaker

Pelty is literally the hottest thing to happen to speakers since, well, ever. We say “literally” because it runs purely on firepower provided by a lone candle burning from within. Its design is sleek and simple but eye-catching all the same. Pelty hooks up with your smartphone or music player via Bluetooth and uses absolutely no electricity to play your choice tunes.

Pelty has a built-in thermoelectric generator that converts the candle’s thermal energy into electricity. And in case you’re worried about the speaking catching fire, don’t be, because it’s made from a ceramic material (because its creators are smart enough to consider that angle, that’s for sure.)

Pelty is currently up for funding on Indiegogo, where a minimum pledge of $229 will get you one of your very own. It’s a steep price, but it’s well worth it once you hear the speaker’s crisp sound. The fact that it’s like getting a work of art that’s fully functional at the same time makes the deal even sweeter.

YankMe Candles Yank Your Chain with Disgusting Candle Scents

Posted on by

Yankee Candle has been around for a long time. You’ve probably been gifted a candle or two from their various lines, which include the Man Candles which feature scents like “Mmm, Bacon” and “Riding Mower.”

And then there’s YankMe Candle.

YankMe basically sells candles that look a lot like Yankees’, save for the fact that they’re funner, weirder, and feature completely outrageous scents. For example, their current offerings include scents like Dog Vomit, Skid Marks, and Dutch Oven (eww!)

The foul smells will hit you the moment you remove the cap from YankMe’s candles, so brace yourself. Obviously YankMe knows they won’t sell many candles this way, so they’ve cleverly incorporated the advertised scent into a patent pending smelly disc, which you’ll find sitting on top of the actual candle.

Once you throw that out, you can then light the candle to allow its actual scent to waft out and make your home smell like home again. YankMe candles sell for $14.99(USD) each. Somebody, please light a match.

YankMe Candles Bring Disgusting Scents Like ‘Dutch Oven’ to Your Home–Well, Sort Of!

Posted on by

YankMe Candle

 

Can you imagine lighting up a candle that smells like urinal mints or skid marks? What about dutch oven and dog vomit-scented candles? Not very appealing, are they? These are exactly what the labels of YankMe Candles say, and those are the scents that’ll hit you the moment you open the lid.

Who in their right mind would buy candles with such unpleasant scents? Nobody, obviously. YankMe knows that, and they’re only yanking your chain because the candles don’t really smell like what their labels claim once you burn them. There’s actually smelly disc on the inside that’s emanating the stink of urinals and farts, but once you get that out of the way, you’ll be treated to soothing scents that you’d expect from a regular ol’ candle.

The candles retail for $14.99 each.

Rekindle Candle Rekindles the Candle, Not the Flame

Posted on by

Candles are one of those things you can recycle again and again (in theory), because they’re basically just made from melted wax and nothing more. I say “in theory” because most people don’t really bother to re-melt and mold melted wax after a single use.

However, that might all soon change with designer Benjamin Shine’s Rekindle candle holder. It’s basically a two-tiered candle holder that has a chamber at the bottom. As the candle melts, the melted wax that doesn’t burn up drips slowly into that chamber.

When the candle has been used up, you can remove the cover and re-use the candle at the bottom. Repeat the cycle over and over again, and you might not have to buy another candle for a very long time.

Skyscraper Candles: Taller Than Your Average Candle

Posted on by

Skyscraper Candle

You won’t want to light these skyscraper candles if you have other plain candles left in the house for obvious reasons. They’ll light up your room if the electricity goes out, but they double as unusual works of art when the lights are on. These candles, which were thought up by Jing Jing Naihan Li, were on display at the Beijing Design Week last year. Now they’re available online so you can display them in your home or “burn down” the metropolis when the mood strikes.

Each candle is sold separately starting at $39. Definitely pricey for a candle, but then again, they aren’t your typical candles with each measuring about 40cm in height.

Two Stroke Smoke Candle: Fill Your Home With the Scent of Motorbikes

Posted on by

Two Stroke Smoke Candle

Close your eyes and take a whiff of the scent that emanates from the Two Stroke Smoke candle. Memories of hours spent riding a motorbike out in the country or weaving a snowmobile on the slopes will eventually come to mind. The smell of Blendzall Racing Castor 2 stroke oil isn’t the most pleasant scent in the world (frankly, it stinks) but the memories it conjures up are just all too precious.

If you feel nostalgic and are missing the good old days, then light one of these up and immerse yourself in the distinct high-octane fragrance of these candles.

Super awesome custom blended candle by Maplewood’s very own Maven. It’s made with real live Blendzall Racing Castor 2 stroke oil with high-octane fragrance.

The Two Stroke Smoke candle is available for $20.

Kentucky Fried Chicken Candle: Nostril Sniffin’ Good

Posted on by

If Kentucky Fried Chicken is finger licking good, what is a Kentucky Fried Chicken candle? Nostril sniffin’ good? These candles will really set the mood if you find KFCs to be romantic. Light one up, get your bucket of bones, meat and grease ready and dig in for a special night. Smell that aroma.

Imagine your whole house smelling like 11 herbs and spices. These candles are made by frying chicken in an all-natural soy wax, so that smell is the real deal. You’ll soon find these candles at Kentucky for Kentucky, but they are a limited edition so you’ll need to move quick – which might be a problem if you’re eating too much fried chicken.

If the Colonel were still alive he would have one in every room.

Cat Candles Reveal Gory Skeleton Insides as They Melt

Posted on by

Aww, look at the cute little kitty candles… Now light them up and enjoy their warming glow.

Now watch in horror as their tiny insides are slowly revealed…

cat skeleton candles 1 620x1198magnify

These nightmare-inducing candles, titled The Devil’s Pet were conceptualized by Icelandic artist Thorunn Arnadottir using a tiny aluminum skeleton inside of a wax casting.

Sweet little kittens are transformed in a fire. Crawling from the ashes come forth grinning metallic devils with sharp claws and fire blazing in their eyes.

Now that’s quite a visual.

Due to popular demand, Thorunn plans on producing these candles via a Kickstarter campaign in the near future. If you’re interested in grabbing some once they’re available, hit this link to sign up for the artist’s newsletter. It’s too bad they won’t be ready for Halloween. Oh well, there’s always next year.
