Very Funny Gifts FAQ

Based out of Atlanta, GA, Very Funny Gifts, Inc. started from one idea hatched over 5 years ago: candles for men. We’re very proud to finally be selling Manterns as our flagship and first product. As we expand into new markets with new products, we will always stay committed to creating and selling quality, humorous gifts that you will enjoy giving to those you love (or even just like a little bit).

The best way to reach us is via our web contact form.

Manterns candles are a complete gift package. The gift consists of:

• A soy-blend candle crafted in an 11oz Libbey rocks glass. The glass can be used long after the candle has finished burning
• A box of matches
• A plastic lid to keep debris out of the candle while not lit
• An instruction card on how to remove the wax from the glass
• Every candle is wrapped in 2 sheets of orange tissue paper and comes packaged in a glossy white giftbox

Our wax is a soy-blend wax which is a combination of soy and paraffin waxes. This gives the candle a softer, creamy texture and because soy is a renewable resource, helps to make our planet just a little bit greener. The wax is 100% non-toxic.

Our glasses are 11oz rocks glasses manufactured by Libbey glass company right here in the USA.

No matter how manly a candle is, it’s still a good old-fashioned open flame, and a potential fire hazard if not carefully monitored. First, the 3 rules of candle burning:

• Never leave a burning candle unattended.
• Never burn a candle on or near anything that might catch fire.
• Keep candles out of the reach of children and pets.

Additional Tips on how to burn a candle safely:

Before Lighting:

• Trim the wick to 1/4” before burning.
• Burn candles in a well ventilated room.
• Place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
• Keep the wax pool clear of wick trimmings, matches and other debris at all times.
• Avoid drafts, vents or air currents.

While Burning:

• Never touch or move a burning candle. Never move a candle when the wax is liquefied.
• Don’t burn a candle all the way down. Stop burning when a 1/2” of wax is left and use the instruction card to remove the remaining wax so you can continue to enjoy using the rocks glass.
• Extinguish a candle if the flame becomes too high or flickers repeatedly.
• Always keep the candle within your sight.
• Do not burn your Manterns candle for more than 3 hours at a time.

When Extinguishing:

• Use a candle snuffer to extinguish a Mantern – it’s the safest way to prevent hot wax from splattering.
• Never use water to extinguish a candle.
• Make sure the candle is completely out and the wick ember is no longer glowing before leaving the room.
• Don’t touch or move the candle until it has completely cooled.

Your soy-blend candle is contained in a high-quality 11oz rocks glass for you to enjoy long after the candle has burned. While all Manterns’ candle wax is non-toxic, we’re guessing you’ll want to remove it before enjoying your favorite cocktail. The easiest way to do this is to freeze the candle, remove all the wax you can and then wash it with really hot, soapy water or run it through the dishwasher (with “heated dry” turned off).

We charge flat-rate shipping and handling for our products. The rates are:

• Ground (1-5 days): $7.99 for the first candle plus $0.99 for each additional candle.
• 2 Day Air: $21 for the first candle plus $5.50 for each additional candle.
• Next Day Air: $48 for the first candle plus $8 for each additional candle.

Why so much? 2 reasons. #1, 90% of our candles are shipped to a residential address, for which shipping companies charge $1-3 more per shipment. #2, rising fuel costs have caused shipping companies to raise their rates. We at Very Funny Gifts realize our shoppers are sensitive to shipping and handling costs and are doing everything we can to keep this as low as possible.

We charge a flat rate shipping and handling fee because it is easier to implement and track with the shopping cart system we use. Our intent is for the flat rate fee to be an average of the cost to ship around the country and also to make all fees as simple and straightforward for our customers as possible.

Currently, Manterns are only available in the United States. We are working hard to expand availability and plan on expanding into Canada and Europe as soon as possible. Keep checking the site for updates!

Our products have 3 shipping options: next day, 2-day and ground. Ground typically takes 1-5 days to arrive once the order is approved.
