My son is living in a dorm with a strict no candles policy. $100 fine per candle. His birthday is coming up and we want to celebrate with his friends in the dorm. Has anyone else faced the dilemma of how to blow out the candles when there are no candles? What have you substituted? (Keep it clean please - this is a mom here). We can’t go out because of time limitations (long story).
For folks suggesting moving outside or to the lounge, the rule is that you aren’t allowed to have candles anywhere in the vicinity of the dorm. Lighting them isn’t even the issue - possessing them is. I’m interested in the flamless candle option - but where can you get blowout versions other than on the net? Do party stores have them?
