So. Without trauma dumping, I'll simply say my dad is a bad dad. What's a father's day gift that says "you're dead to me, but I'm still doing things to keep drama at bay"?

Off-brand scented candle set.

It says I don’t know you at all, but here’s your present.

Ooh I like this. Especially since he hates strong smells.

Get some thing like Bergamont; something so few people actually genuinely like, but smells fancy with a quick whiff. Boring and unexpressive after 30 seconds.

Alternatively, try something like cupcakes or vanilla icing. The kind of candle that would give you a headache.

Hm... I wonder if Walmart still has watermelon scented candles. "But dad, it smells just like summer!"

Oh my gosh I had those! They did actually smell good with a quick sniff, but I hated them so much I threw out the rest.

Yeah my wife loved the smell in the aisle, but it got old really fast at home lol

As a bonus, with those cheap candles there's a decent chance burning them fills his house with toxicity.

Just like him!
