The daily lemming

I might just need one: the Mac and Cheese candle from Southlake Gifts. "The Macaroni and Cheese Candle Bowl is perfect for those with carb cravings without finding the perfect recipe. This handmade macaroni and cheese candle comes in a porcelain bowl and smells just like the real thing. Take it home and wake up feeling cheesy!" $20 for 160g at Nordstrom.

From Floraïku, the Forbidden Incense candle trio: "...with a Mimosa scented candle that is intriguingly floral, alongside a Lily of the Valley candle for the 'light' shadow and a Smoked Wood for the 'dark' shadow. These candles are made with japanese tea cups, a white porcelain as fine as air, gilded with fine gold. Packaged in a box indigo and gold. Ideal for gifting or treating yourself", Three x 130g for $309 at Floraïku.

More Year of the Snake...the Wisdom of the Snake candle from Glasshouse. It doesn't wake as many lemmings for me as last year's Dance of the Dragon, but maybe it works for you? "With no love for straight lines, No head or tail and no end in sight, The serpent spirit zigzags and sidewinds Mesmerizing, leading you without warning. To a world of more mystery. To a year of no limits. This is the Wisdom of The Snake. // Fresh Orchid and sweet Citrus, intertwined with rich Cedarwood and Musk, create a symphony of luck and abundance for the year ahead." $55 for 380g at Glasshouse.

From La Double J, the Taormina candle: "An ode to the rugged sensuality of the island of Sicily, this scent is a verdant medley of fresh clementine, exotic tamarind, orange and wild thyme, evocative of hot summer nights wandering the Medieval streets of Taormina. Accented with 18K gold, use the beautiful porcelain vessel as a bud vase, a makeup brush holder or simply as a gorgeous objet on your hallway mantle"; 320g for $180 at Bloomingdales.
