The photo in the ad definitely makes it look a lot better than the actual item. In the photo it doesn't look as waxy as it actually is. I now realize it is a candle but when I first looked at it I had just looked at your happy birthday in a box where the candle sit in the item I thought this was the same, I thought you place a candle in the top of the carriage but that is not the case the whole thing is wax. This is my vault for not looking at it closely. I don't think I would buy another one, not for that price, this is more of a $5.00 item. Anyway that is my opinion.
