Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a funny gift for a teacher who is worn out?
A: A joke a teacher would make about themselves lands far better than sympathy, because it says somebody noticed without making it a conversation. Exhaustion is the shared language.
Q: What is the marshmallow scent actually like when it burns?
A: The browned sugar crust on the outside of a marshmallow, with vanilla through the middle and amber underneath. It is warm and faintly smoky rather than sugary.
Q: Is this a safe joke to give a colleague rather than a friend?
A: Nothing in it is aimed at students, parents or anybody in the building, so it works between colleagues who barely know each other. It is a joke about the job.
Q: Which scent do people pick when buying for someone unknown?
A: Vanilla-based scents are the reliable blind buy because very few people dislike them and they suit any room. Marshmallow with amber is the friendlier end of that.
Q: Can this be given at a staff room gift exchange?
A: It is made for exactly that, since the joke reads instantly to a room full of teachers. Being funny out loud is what an exchange gift has to manage.
Q: How soon can it be lit after it is unwrapped?
A: Straight away — trim the wick to 1/4", give the first burn two or three hours, and it is set up for the rest of its life. Nothing needs curing.
