We did a white elephant exchange. I ended up with a “candle warmer” and a candle. I never knew what it was or that I needed one. Turns out it’s a halogen bulb in a metal shade on a stand where you, I guess, put your candle. It’s probably supposed to be safer than burning a candle but for me it’s just a really poorly designed reading lamp. I will probably modify it with a LED bulb and bend the stand to a new angle to make it actually usable.
In case you’re curious what I gave in the exchange, I went to a local antique mall and in 5 minutes I’d found a really nice Wagner Ware 8” cast iron skillet. For almost exactly the right amount ($49). It was the last gift picked and arguably the best of the night. The guy who got it was super excited because he loves to cook but has never had a good cast iron skillet.
Space herpes.
@yakkoTDI Are you an Ice Pirate?
My cat is the only one who has gifted me anything yet. The night is young. Got snuggles for Xmas.
Not yet; ask me again this afternoon after my family get-together.
@MrGoodGuy Ditto; too early to know.
I know I am getting binoculars w night vision!!!
@tinamarie1974 I’d settle for good night vision, or even just good vision again. But Merry Christmas to you and Charlie.
