My sister in laws got together and "Claimed" that they wanted to send me a present as a congradulations for all the weight I have lost so far (100+). So today I got a box and it was filled with scented candles. What is so bad about that you might ask? The scents were:
Vanilla Sugar Cookie
Strawberry Jam
Cinnamon Buns
and the worst one as: Hot Carmel Pecan Pie.
Those #%*&'s are trying to make me break my diet!!!!
What can I send them to "thank" them for thier thoughtfullness???

Hon, Dont let them know they upset you~ that is the best revenge! Send them a thank you card and say that your hubby loved the smell and it put him in the romantic mood!! if you know what i mean!! This will make their spitefulness bite them right on the butt!
Let it go hon!
Love to you!

Ms Crone, Get a bottle of Mugwort essential oil. Make some candles infused with the oil and send it to them. You KNOW how strong Mugwort smells and how the odor overpowers everything in the room. Yes, it's an empowering herb but it STILL sends the message that TWO can play the olfactory game. LOL Sort of a nice gift that also gets your message across.

First of all . . . CONGRATULATIONS ! ! !. . . for losing . . . all that weight! ! Second - I love this question . . . if it were me I think that I would send them both some dead roses . . . or a "Stinker Award". . . you get a wooded cutting board, the kind with the handles . . . take some plaster of paris and make a blob (about the size of a donut) and put it on the cutting board . . . and before it dries stick some grass in it, sticking out of the plaster some . . . then let it dry . . . when it is dry, paint it a 'poop' brown . . . and when the paint dries . . . spray some shalac on it to make it shiny and to appear wet like cow poop. . . My mom made these for people at work one year .

Two things...First you can act like you didn't see the correlation and thank them sincerely for the candles. This will make them feel like idiots and immature brats for what they did.
Second...if you choose not to take the high road, burn the candles (i have found that if I burn food smelling candles and drink water that it gives me the sense of being full and the smell satisfies my sweet tooth) and once the jars are empty, take a dump in them and send them back.

Give them the benefit of the doubt.....
Also, if you are going to "confront" them about it, do it in a manner that seems disarming and "joking", this way you can say how it made you feel, but in a way that looks like you aren't upset. It also will make them feel less like you are attacking them and if their were any ulterior or "joking" thoughts on their part you will find out in an easier way.

Put the candles in the oven until they melt. Leave them in the box and don't turn the oven up too much. (150 degrees). When they ask about them, act embarrassed for them and say they came that way.

Wow.
I think that the best "retaliation" would be honesty. Tell them how hurt you are, stressing being wounded over being angry. Did you cry or were you shocked about it? Tell them.
You are sure they did this on purpose? If you let it be known to them, and to other family members, something like this:
Dear Martha Jean, Hortense, and Betty Sue,
I cannot begin to express to you how deeply sorrowful your "gift" of food scented candles has made you feel, how sad and upset I am to think that you think so little of as to try to sabotage my weight loss, when it has been so good for my health and self-esteem. I would never dream of doing such a terrible thing to you,and I was so shocked, I thought that perhaps at first that you simply were not thinking! Did it not occur to you that this present might be excruciatingly difficult for a person like me who has struggled and sacrificed in order to lose weight?
My feelings are shattered, my belief in your goodness and family spirit has been obliterated.
Please hasten to assure me that it was simply a case of tremendous oversight and lack of thinking that led you three to select such a clearly inappropriate gift for me. I will be sorrowed indeed if I learn that this was a deliberate act on your part, as it would never occur to me to do anything so vile, so thoughtless, or so despicable to any of you, my own sisters in law.
Please, please let me know that it was all just a horrible mistake, for such an act, planned and acted on in the spirit of mean pettiness or jealousy on your part is too devastating for me to handle.
I will try very hard to come to grips with this, but it has shattered my faith in the true meaning of family.
Sorrowfully, your sister in law,
Prairie Crone
PS my online friend Lady Morgana is not so forgiving as I am, and she is pretty mad at you. I am not responsible for her actions, but fortunately for you , she doesn't know where you live. Unfortunately for you, she is a Witch and doesn't need to know.
Well? Waddya think?
Take the high road, let the other family members know how rotten they were, and let them get shunned by the others who will rush to your side and protect you, the prairie Crone they love.
We love you Prairie Crone! (those bitches!)

A picture of you in an outfit that they are to fat to wear. It sounds to me like they are a little jealous of your success.
Or a copy of family portrait with all of you in it and right on the back that "I might be fat; but you're ugly, I can diet!"
Congratulations and keep up the good work.

Congratulations!!! Crone, use your empathic ability to figure out their weakness, then exploit it! Turn about is fair play!
