Overview

The best rude gift for your uncle is the Have A Nice Poo Candle, which has a lovely vanilla scent and is a subtle but fun way to suggest that he smells bad.

Introduction

The main thing to consider is how close you are with your uncle, and what sort of humour he has. If you’re not sure then I recommend starting with a gentle gift that won’t cause offense, such as the Have A Nice Poo Candle. This is a great choice because it’s very unlikely to cause offense, but if it does then you can return it for a full refund including postage, so there’s no risk.

Your relationship with him

It’s worth considering not only how close you are, but also how often you see him. If he’s someone you barely see or talk to, then it’s probably best to play it safe. The worst case scenario is that he gets offended and logs some kind of complaint with another family member.

If on the other hand you know him pretty well and know that he has a sense of humour, then you can choose something more direct like a Have Nice Poo Candle.

The type of humour he enjoys

This is something that people often get wrong. Just because someone likes comedy movies or TV shows doesn’t mean they’ll appreciate being made fun of. Similarly, just because they make fun of others doesn’t mean they’ll like it when it happens to them.

If you’re not sure about this then maybe start by gifting something gentle and see how they react.

What are the main options?

The options mainly break down into these categories:

• Something subtle and silly that will almost certainly not cause offense, like a Have A Nice Poo Candle.
• A more direct candle or soap which suggests that he smells bad or looks dirty.
• An item of clothing or mug which makes fun of his appearance in some way.

Where should I get this?

This depends on whether you want something particularly unusual or not. There are loads or ordinary places to buy gifts online but they're all pretty generic and don't offer much customer service.

If you're looking for something that's more unique and would like to be able to have a chat with someone if you've got any questions then I'd recommend having a look at our shop at www.mrinappropriate.co.uk. My name (the author) is Julian and I'm always happy to chat about anything related to this sort of thing - my contact details are at the top of every page on the site. All our products are carefully made by us in our workshop in West London, and usually dispatched within one working day. We offer fast delivery options and everything can be returned for free if needed.

Should I send it directly to him?

I think it's normally best not to do this, but in some situations it's appropriate. This might work well if there are several people involved in the gift, such as from all his siblings or from all his nephews and nieces. If this is the case then we can send the package without any sender details so that we can't tell who sent it - there's an option on each product page for this. There's also an option on every product page where we can include a card with a custom message printed on it. If you're just sending one gift from yourself though I'd recommend just having it delivered to yourself so that you can give it to him personally. That way you'll be able to see his reaction too!

What sort of packaging do these candles come in?

This depends on what you order. For the candles they come in either small plain cardboard boxes or larger ones if they're ordered with other items. We only use paper-based packaging so everything can be recycled easily. Each candle comes wrapped in brown paper as well as packing paper wrapped around it inside the box. The jar lids have their own bubble wrap envelopes which help protect them from being damaged in transit.

What else do I need to know about these candles?

I think I've covered most things, except maybe the scent; they're all vanilla-scented which most people seem to like - I don't think we've ever had any complaints about them! If you'd like any more information please feel free to get in touch - my email address is julian@mrinappropriate.co.uk.
