New Flameless Candles -- not for drips


I'm usually not a big fan of 'faux'. Why not just have the real thing instead of an imitation (not applicable to zebra prints or little fuzzy monkeys). And I love candles, but am sooo careful not to burn them unattended. Like in the powder room when you're having a party. Or in your entry hall. Someplace where the dog's tail could knock it over when you're not looking. Danger, danger.

That's why we were so happy to find these flameless wax candles. They look and feel like the real thing, but the warm, flickering light inside is powered by batteries. If you forget about them, the worst thing that can happen is you run out of juice and have to replace a battery. The LED lights inside are a new generation of technology, allowing for a dim or bright setting, and flickering so realistically that you really can't tell the difference. The candle itself is wax, and looks just like its hand-poured real cousins. So go ahead, put one inside that wood bookshelf, or in the bathroom next to the linen shade. No worries.

Pillar candles available in two colors and three sizes at Pomegranate Home & Garden.
