Patio Torches: A Manly Gift for Him

Like I’ve said before, fire is such a primal, “manly-man” favorite.

What guy doesn’t feel like a man when building a fire, barbecuing, welding with a blow torch or just using fire for any reason?

Men love the outdoors and what better way can you encourage him and his primal instincts, than to accentuate your backyard with patio torches for him?

It evokes images of cavemen, knights or island castaways, doesn’t it?

My hubby loves to entertain our friends while he creates a fabulous BBQ meal, and we love to enjoy our outdoor space at our home.

This would be a marvelous gift for him, especially since we went to a surprise birthday party this past week for a good friend and his girlfriend had beautiful garden torches ablaze while we were there on their balcony…

…Kenney spent the entire night outside with our friend Aaron enjoying the ambiance of those torches.

If your man is anything like mine, for whatever reason, he is constantly being bit by mosquitoes outside. In fact, it often ruins our time we spend trying to enjoy outside. He has to go in because he’s being eaten alive…I guess, he must have some sweet blood or something.

We’re constantly trying to buy citronella candles and organic bug spray for him to have a good time outdoors. However, I found an amazing patio torch latern from Outdora that uses citronella fuel. Since it has more than one flame (4), it will certainly be more effective than a single torch.

The wicks never get worn out because they’re made of fiberglass (great idea) and I love it because it matches our coach lights on our property! Doesn’t it look like a turn-of-the-century, Victorian gas street lamp. So beautiful, and functional. (Guys love functional gifts!)

I think I’m going to buy this for him for his birthday this year…Certainly, he’ll install it right by the barbecue. However, you can also use standard lamp oil too, instead of citronella, if you want.

* Tip: Since our guys are so “manly”, you may want to call them patio torches instead of garden torches, though…LOL
