Idea #3 💡 Stuff to Burn
From: The Weekly Idea Newsletter
Some things smell great when they burn
- Maybe Nero
While experiencing my first s’more, someone threw herbs into the bonfire filling the air with a pleasant smell. At that moment, I thought about other scents things produce when burning down and the memories that can be associated with them.
How about a brand focused on the smells of burning things?
Variation A
I can sell a fancy bowl that acts as a mini-fireplace. Then, I sell bundles of stuff to burn in the bowl. Maybe I could use small linen sacks that I fill with dried herbs.
Variation B
I strap good-smelling things onto a small, wooden plate, which I can throw into a fireplace, bonfire, or grill so they produce a great smell (and might even flavour the food on the grill).
Possible things to burn
- Rosemary
- Pine
- Orange Peel
- Lemon Peel
- Cinnamon
- Dried Herbs
- Cedar Wood
- Apple Wood
- Charcoal
- Myrrh
- Rose Pedals
- Sweetgrass

The excection of an idea is 100 times more important then the idea itself. To reach my dreams, I have to put in the hours to focus on one plan to learn (and share) how to perfectly excecute it. Because I don't want my other ideas to go to waste I decided to share them all!
