12 Unique Candles To Celebrate National Candle Month, Because November Isn't Just About Thanksgiving

Yes, November is all about Thanksgiving, but it's also National Candle Month, which means it's time to cozy up by the fire — the candle fire that is. Breathe in that sweet scented goodness, and just relax.

Obviously when I become a celebrity, the first thing I will push for is a signature scent, but since that is years away, I will settle for a one-of-a-kind candle for now. Perhaps the smell of a white shirt after you accidentally spill coffee all over it? Or maybe the scent of my favorite chili cheese hot dog? Honestly, the possibilities are endless. In the meantime, I found 12 unique scents that are so weird, they're perfect. Why not try them all this month?
