My wife just told me about this kid's new business.
He's making candles for manly men that don't like girly scents. His currently holiday offerings are Hot Cocoa, Buttered Popcorn, Campfire, New Mitt & Fresh Cut Grass. Just $5 each.
Here's his home made commercial:

looks pretty cool. nothing listed about how he is accepting payments..
but i would get a few if he took PayPal.
he's in Marysville though, so i wonder if he would sell them through an indie outlet here someplace?
anybody want to carry them in their store?

There are a couple of stores in Marysville that carry them. (Worth repeating, and Christos (spelling?)) This business was just started before Thanksgiving so it really took off and most of the owners free time has been spent making candles. After the holiday rush man cans hopes to do more distribution through retailers. Possibly Plain City, Dublin and maybe one place downtown Columbus.
We will look into PayPal as well. To be honest there was not much expectation of selling outside of Marysville when this got started.

I now have some of my candles for sales at Hausfrau Haven in German Village on 3rd street. I am also working with a shop in the short north called Bink Davies so look for them there soon.

I know someone who knows the father. She has smelled some of the scents and says the campfire one is amazing, she doesn't know exactly what went into it but it does smell like a campfire.

+1 on the campfire. I purchased 2 candles and they are awesome. You have to love the disclaimer sticker on the candle! Best of luck!

I saw a clip on msnbc a few days ago. Many affiliates around the US broadcast his story as well.

I logged onto the website and it is not available. I want to buy some of these candles for the men in my life but can't go to the outlets that are carrying them because I live in Hawaii. Please activate the website right away so I can get in on this! Thanks!

I'm sorry, but I don't want my house smelling like cut grass, camp fire smoke, sawdust or bacon. I can deal with bacon at breakfast, but then I'm done with it. I'll stick with black cherry, vanilla, mango, pumpkin and christmas tree. I'm a man that's not funking up his home.
