If you know a dad who appreciates the details in life — and also a gin and tonic — this is the gift for him. Fresh and fun, just like a 5 p.m. G&T, this candle will knock your socks off! And, while the drink is traditionally garnished with a slice or wedge of lime, a mint sprig is what makes this candle such a special product. Described as bright, but relaxing, this candle will make even the most stressed-out dad take a load off. Order online or find Wax Cabin candles at Ashley Austin, 106 W State St., Kennett Square, PA 19348; (610) 925-5900.
