1.

The great outdoors in candle form, now with 85% fewer mosquitos. The scents of fresh pine sprigs and the soft, smoky heat of a glowing bonfire will make Dad feel "off the grid" while still being able to check his phone for "work."

2.

You've always suspected Dad golfs super early so nobody can see how many mulligans he takes, but you're too lazy to wake up and prove it. This candle calls to mind a peaceful morning front nine with a strong base of freshly mown fairways, morning dew, and layered notes of oak and pine. And of course the smell of the sand from the traps dad spends most of his time in.

3.

The man cave is where dads can be dudes and dudes can be dads. The garage, the basement, or his favorite easy chair — this candle summons the man cave through smell-ements like rich, worn leather and the sweet kick of bourbon on the rocks. Of course, there are a few "man cave smells" we're leaving out of the candle, too.

4.

You may not know it, but all week Dad looks forward to coaching your soccer game. This candle lets him don his coaching cap and whistle any time with scents of grass, dry-erase marker (to map out his second-half game plan), and, of course, the zest of fresh orange slices. Hold this candle up to your ear and you may even be able to hear Dad screaming at the referee!

5.

So...Dad's cooking tonight, and last time he put the blender in the oven. Give him this assortment of candles to mask whatever that horrible smell is with scents like "fresh egg rolls" or "sizzlin' fajitas." It's a gift that says, "Don't worry, Dad, we wanted pizza anyway. Oh, and the fire department is on its way."

6.

This candle takes Dad out to the ball game, but he's still got to pony up for the peanuts and crackerjacks. The bouquet blends the fresh aroma of a springtime breeze with wafts of savory stadium hot dogs, sweet-scented cotton candy, and $15 flat domestic beer. It's all rounded out with a hint of a well-oiled glove dad brought to snag some fly balls.

7.

This hardware store candle smells so much like the real thing that dad will start arguing about socket-wrench dimensions the second you light it. The candle evokes Dad's DIY devotion with the smells of treated lumber; the clean, verdant waft of the greenhouse section; and fresh paint being mixed. Aaaaand, now Dad's started referring to the living room as "the job site." Great.
