Re: Receiving Candles as a Gift

This thread has made me paranoid. I'm going to my boss's house tonight for a staff Christmas party, and I was going to give him a Homeworx Frozen Balsam candle in one of the gift boxes that some of the candles came with last season in a nice gift bag with tissue paper. My boss is a 40 year old man married to another man, and they just moved into their new home. No pets or kids. Should I just get a bottle of wine instead?

@MaryLamb . No Wine is so common-go with the Candle! It's the Holidays, and even if they don't light it, it will smell good unlit! Plus the Homewrox candles are so pretty! Everyone brings Wine! 

It's way too late for me to reply, but I agree with this and would have advised giving the candle, as planned.  Not everyone likes candles, that's true.  But not everyone likes wine, either.  And there are a lot of people who choose not to drink or can't drink.

 

I think this particular candle sounds really nice.  These type of gifts are intended to be gestures, not the most perfect gift ever.  In this situation, at this time of year, a candle is just fine.
