🎓✨ Senior Year Parents… let’s talk about “the funk.”
Yes, that funk. The one that magically appears the moment your kid moves into a dorm. 🤣

If you’re getting ahead of the game (and you should)… meet the Graduation & Beyond signature candle:
“Smells Like Dorm Room Air Freshener.”

Because the funk is real.
Like… VERY real.
And your teen will absolutely pretend they “don’t smell anything.”

This candle is the perfect going-away gift — a little humor, a little heart, and a whole lot of help for whatever mysterious odors await them in freshman housing. 🕯️💛

🔥 Multiple scent options (from cozy to crisp)
🔥 A reusable amber jar for all their tiny, random dorm things

Get started early on combating Dorm Room Funk… your future self will thank you.
And honestly? So will their roommate. 😂
