Awesome Birthdays

It’s something many of us have experienced – somebody at the table lies to the waitstaff and says it’s your birthday to get the free dessert. Stevie Emerson’s darkly-comedic sketch envisions what really happens to you if you get caught in your lie. It turns out the birthday song isn’t the only punishment.

Gift shop SnarkyFlair offers this line of handmade soy candles that make great birthday presents. Each one features a sarcastic and concise assessment of the recipient’s character, along with an appropriately delightful candle scent. Each 10 oz. candle has a rose gold lid and burns for about 45 hours.

Looking for a fun and nostalgic birthday gift for a parent or grandparent? Woodstock Candy packs gift boxes with candies that were available during the year of their birth – assuming they were born in 1989 or earlier. Depending on the year, they might find Razzles, Wax Lips, Pop Rocks, Zots, or Turkish Taffy among other classic sweets.
