We know dudes aren’t rushing out to buy the latest candle, but you really should. Just like an organized kitchen, quality sheets and champagne in the fridge, candles can really impress the ladies. Let’s just say they show your softer side; light one after a long night, and serious magic can happen.

That said, we aren’t supporting the ‘Daffodils and Daisies’ scented nightmares. Let us introduce you to Sydney Hale Company. We discovered them at the Garden & Gun Jubilee and were attracted to the scent, packaging and their commitment to helping Lost Dog Rescue.

Family owned and operated in Purcellville, Virginia (the brand name comes from a combination of family names), the small batch soy candle and room spray company has been around since 2007. With scents such as Bourbon + Brown Sugar, Tobacco + Sandalwood and Woodsmoke + Amber, there is nothing to worry about when lighting one of these up pre-date or post-house party to give your pad a little whiff of wonder.

Back to their feel good factor. Sydney Hale works with Lost Dog Rescue and is dedicated to giving 10% of their sales to the non-profit. You can also purchase awesome dog leashes, collars and bowls from our friends at Found My Animal on the site as well.

We appreciate they are all about Reuse & Recycle, and customers are encouraged to send in photos of how they use the glass once the candle melts away. We think the whiskey tumbler is pretty perfect.

‘Stranger Things’ season 5 is basically ‘eight movies’ according to one of the stars
The show's fifth season still doesn't have a definitive return date yet.

Stranger Things is set to conclude with its fifth and final season almost a full decade after the first season premiered. One of the reasons for the wait ahead of season 5, though, is apparently that the eight episodes in the fifth season are incredibly long.

Maya Hawke, who joined the show as Robin Buckley in its third season, recently appeared on Podcrushed to discuss the upcoming season, and particularly how long it took to make.

Cyber Monday deal: For just $150, this game table offers foosball, 15 other games
A family play's foosball on Segmart's 16-in-1 game table.

It's a modern fact that we spend too much time playing with tech and not enough time spending time in the real, physical world, bonding through shared experience, touch, and the tactile. And many of the best Cyber Monday deals will attest to this — we're seeing great Cyber Monday iPad deals, for instance. At the same time, we're also seeing great Cyber Monday Under Armour deals, Cyber Monday Nike deals, and Cyber Monday protein powder deals that people are happily snatching up, a sign that many of us are ready to get back to the physical. One excellent way to do so is with a game table. This one we found in Walmart's Cyber Monday deals includes 16 games, with a combination of active classics like foosball and some board games like checkers and backgammon, is over 50% off. Usually priced at $310, it can be yours now for $150, saving you $160 while this Cyber Monday deal lasts. Tap the button below to see it yourself or keep reading for more information.

Why you should buy the Segmart 16-in-1 game table
The Segmart 16-in-1 game table comes in a brown wood or red color configuration. It sits on the floor in an approximately 2-foot by 4-foot rectangle, reaching 3 feet in height, making it great for typically-sized children of 8+. There are exchangeable, stackable boards that bring out different game types to the tabletop, but other accessories you'll need (paddles or the foosball "players" are examples) to get it all to work.

Other features include a 31-minute max battery life (environmental conditions and flight behaviors will affect this), the ability to "return home" automatically, and wind-resistant flight. As you get more experienced with the drone, you can opt for larger battery sets for more extended flight times. Perhaps most importantly, it is 249 grams, just under the critical 250-gram mark for FAA registration when you fly for recreational purposes.
