Not recommended gift idea.

A scented candle that has a note that reads
“The only gift you need is me as a husband”

That’s a big nope.

I'm afraid something will go wrong and ill have a fire. I have those things that have bulbs that melt the candles still in their containers without being lit.

Did someone gift you a candle with such a note? Just wondering why you would choose that as not recommended gift idea. I have plenty in mind but that one would never have occurred to me.
