I left mine on the carpet in my room. My mom came in to vacuum one day and thought it was just some scrap paper.

She was not amused by the 2 inch burnt mark it left on the carpet, or the shock it gave her.

I have a summer birthday, so usually all my friends are gone, and it’s a family only event. But we did a few years where we celebrated my half birthday, which I really appreciated as it meant I got to have a big traditional party.
