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

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

    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.

    They're a terrible gift. I have a zillion candles they I keep around and can't quite get around to throwing away

    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.

    I like giving bacon scented candles to my vegan friends to remind them of what they’re missing.

    That would fall under the category of a dick move.

    Is it a dick move if they’re vegan bacon scented candles though?

    But you called the original comment and I quote a dick move so I thought it was up to you?

    It's always up to the receiver how a gift is accepted.

    So why did you unilaterally decide that a bacon scented candle to a vegan is a dick move?

    You seem to be under the impression my opinion counts for anything. You should stop that.

    Most of the candle is designed very specifically so that it will not, in fact, catch fire and burn.

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

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