    Nursing school gives you a lamp on graduation (referencing Florence Nightengale) but they’re always complete trash. I want one of these to use for sensory therapy.

    Ideally I’d even want one of those ones with the fake water vapor flame that I could put scented oils and change the color of in to help people relax and settle in watching the flickering and vibing to the music, but they don’t make 'em like that and I don’t have the fabrication skill.

    Instead they give you these things that look like Alladin’s lamp with a little LED flame, except sometimes they go a step even farther into absurdity and throw a wholeass fake LED candle on top. They always just look bizarre and are completely useless.

      My sister in law’s graduation ceremony ended with the lamp thing… Except they just straight up gave them dollar store tapered candles. No lamps. Just a white candle. Didn’t even give em the candle holder with the little handle.
