Candles are the perfect gift. Of the receiver doesn't like them they can set them on fire and remove the problem.

There aren’t many things you CAN’T do that with.

Almost like it’s their intended purpose.

If I don’t like them it’s probably because it’s scented and makes my allergies go nuts 😟

Set them on fire outside? Safety.

I like giving bacon scented candles to my vegan friends to remind them of what they’re missing.
Show threadslazer2auNov 1
That would fall under the category of a dick move.
Show threadSatansMaggotyCumFartNov 1
Is it a dick move if they’re vegan bacon scented candles though?
Show threadslazer2auNov 1
That’s up to them.
Show threadSatansMaggotyCumFartNov 1
But you called the original comment and I quote a dick move so I thought it was up to you?
Show threadslazer2auNov 1
It’s always up to the receiver how a gift is accepted.
Show threadSatansMaggotyCumFartNov 1
So why did you unilaterally decide that a bacon scented candle to a vegan is a dick move?
Show threadslazer2auNov 1
You seem to be under the impression my opinion counts for anything. You should stop that.
Show threadSatansMaggotyCumFartNov 1
I care about your opinion.

They’re a terrible gift. I have a zillion candles they I keep around and can’t quite get around to throwing away
Show threadslazer2auNov 1
You could burn them… In a big pile…

The soot.

Do it outside so the smoke goes up into the sky to become stars.
Show threadMonzcarroNov 2
That doesn’t sound right but I don’t know enough about stars to dispute it.
Show threadDrusasNov 2
Most of the candle is designed very specifically so that it will not, in fact, catch fire and burn.
Show threadNatanaelNov 2
Not with that attitude timescale

PSA: Don’t give scented candles to your friends who keep invertebrate pets. There is some evidence that aerosolized scents can cause dyskinetic syndrome, which is a terrible way to go.

Rather a nice warning, but good looking out.

because the volatine chemicals have aromatic compounds, or alcohols in it.

i have irritant-induced asthma and if there’s a lit candle in the room with me I breathe significantly worse and have to cough a lot
Show threadTollana1234567Nov 2
scented is very noxious, because they have chemicals in it to volatilize the scents. usually aromatic or alcohols.

If you give me a candle as a present, you are not my friend anymore.

My mother-in-law keeps giving me scented candles for my birthday. I’m happy to receive them because it’s one less thing she has to worry about - what do I want for my birthday? Scented candles.

They all end up in the charity shops but she doesn’t need to know that. :)

Show threadMonzcarroNov 2

They are consumables so you can just say you used the up if anyone asks.

As a person who is difficult to buy for (not because I want special things but because I don’t really want anything), candles are ideal as I either like them and use them, or can say I did. Much better that something I am expected to wear or constantly display in my home.

And they never go bad so you can just slap a new label on the gift and give it to someone else next Christmas
