What sort of candle to get for your friend
Sometimes you want to get something for a friend as a little treat, maybe they've done something nice for you or they're having a tough time and you want to cheer them up. Or maybe you just want to let them know that you're thinking of them. Either way, a candle is probably a good idea, especially if it's one that will make them laugh.
Overview
The best candle to buy for your friend, whether it's for their birthday, or just because you feel like it, is the 'Have A Nice Poo' one. This is because it's ideal for everyone - it's not too offensive so it's safe to give it to someone you don't know very well but is also suitable for a close friend who likes a laugh.
Why?
I think the best way to choose what sort of candle to get is to put yourself in their position and ask yourself what sort of thing you'd like to receive. If I do this myself, the answer is something that makes me smile, but isn't too crude. The reason I don't want anything too offensive is because I wouldn't be able to put it on display in my home. Like most people I have friends and family visiting sometimes and don't want them seeing anything too extreme.
So the 'Have A Nice Poo' candle ticks all the boxes. It's funny and playful without being too vulgar.
What does it smell like?
It smells of vanilla which is not my favourite but that's what most people seem to like so that's what I've gone with. If you think about it, most candles smell of vanilla or possibly lavender and that's about it. I would prefer something a little more interesting but I'm probably just an oddball. Actually, I'm pretty sure of that.
What does it look like?
As you can see from the product page (here) it's a simple black glass jar with a black label and shiny gold print on it. The box is similar; thick cardboard with shiny gold print on the outside. It looks pretty good really, whether I do say so myself!
How much does it cost?
At the time of writing this (June '24) they cost £19 plus delivery which is about £3.
The boring stuff
It measures about 8cm diameter by about 8cm tall (the box is slightly bigger) and will burn for around 40 hours.
Can I send it as a gift?
Of course! Just enter your friend's address as the shipping address when you check out (as you'd expect), then if you also want us to send them a card with your message printed inside we can do that too! Just find the card that you want on our site and you'll see an option on the product page allowing us to print your message in it.
Summary
There are lots of candles out there that might be suitable but I think this one is definitely the best. It's safe but funny so whoever you're buying it for they'll love it!
