So. Without trauma dumping, I’ll simply say my dad is a bad dad. What’s a father’s day gift that says “you’re dead to me, but I’m still doing things to keep drama at bay”?

    Get something like Bergamont; something so few people actually genuinely like, but smells fancy with a quick whiff. Boring and unexpressive after 30 seconds.

    Alternatively, try something like cupcakes or vanilla icing. The kind of candle that would give you a headache.

    It’s also practical because the gift is cheap without looking cheap.

    I’m sorry to say that I’m speaking from personal experience.

      Hm… I wonder if Walmart still has watermelon scented candles. “But dad, it smells just like summer!”

        Oh my gosh I had those! They did actually smell good with a quick sniff, but I hated them so much I threw out the rest.

            As a bonus, with those cheap candles there’s a decent chance burning them fills his house with toxicity.

            Just like him!
