My son, an outstanding wit and raconteur, absolutely LOVED his birthday candle. He sat down and read out every bit of info both on it, and with it, out loud and with much guffawing. I considered not getting him anything else, in keeping with the candle's message, but gave in and picked up some of his favourite Irish food items (we're in America, so this is a sign of undying love because they're pretty expensive hereabouts). He did not even look at his gifts. He old had eyes for his candle. *breaking news* He sent an email (because I am old and have no texting facilities...as in...no iPhone) to say he lit it and it smelled delicious. I daresay many of his circle of friends (or rather amorphous blob of amis) will be receiving the same birthday gift in the near future. Cheers!
