Monday nights. Wine. Screaming at your TV. Endless debates over who’ll get the rose. If you’re a member of Bachelor Nation, you know this drill all too well. After 23 seasons, it’s a wonder we all still watch, but something about the drama, amazing dates and the possibility of finding love sucks us in time and time again.
I’ll never forget my first experience with the Bachelor. I was 8 years old, and my mom and I cuddled up on the couch to watch Trista and Ryan’s wedding. My mom was so excited. It was the TV event of the year. Trista looked like a princess in a giant poofy white dress and Ryan was her actual prince charming.
We oo-ed and ahh-ed for three hours straight and ate popcorn (no wine for this third grader). It was a bonding experience over a silly TV show, but now, 15 years later, I still think about that day with a smile.
And over the next 15 years, The Bachelor became a joint obsession for my mom and me. We always make sure to watch together when we can, and when we can’t, weekly check-ins are a must. This silly little TV show has become a way for mother and daughter to stay connected even though we’re miles apart.
So for those of you who are trying to think of a perfect gift for the Bachelor lovers in your life (especially with Mother’s Day right around the corner!), look no further. We especially love the adult coloring book you’ll see down below…
The Bachelor candle
If this candle has the scent of one-on-ones, never being blindsided, and the final rose all rolled up into one, it must smell like actual heaven. Regardless, any Bachelor lover will love it for its clever packaging and all-natural materials.
