Looking to start your own Jurassic Park? Sorry, but you wont find any dino DNA here. What you will find, however, is a one-of-a-kind Tyrannosaurs Skeleton ($950,000+; Auction). 75 percent complete overall — with an 80 percent complete skull — this massive fossil is 24 feet long, 8 feet tall, and is mounted elegantly on a gray-painted armature. The perfect piece to sit underneath your "When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth" banner.
You know the Yankee Candle store — it's that spot in the mall that bombards you with the smell of flowers, baked goods, and seaside goodness in such a way as to wind up smelling more like a retirement center than anything you'd actually want in your home. Until now, that is. These new Yankee Man Candles ($18-$28) overpower those comparatively feminine scents with manly concoctions like the grassy Riding Mower, the woodsy 2x4, the leathery First Down, and the musky Man Town, any of which are far preferable to help hide the scent of booze and fried food emanating from your man cave.
