So you’re trying to finish your Christmas shopping, and it’s really starting to get down to the wire here. All you have left is your Nana, and you are completely stumped about what to get her. I mean, this lady has just about anything and everything that you could possibly imagine. So do you get her the LED dragon waterfall you saw at the Asian Art store? Tempting, because everyone knows that Nanas are totally into fire-breathing reptiles. Then again, it’s really similar to last year’s dragon lamp. So what gives?
The Holiday LED Blow On-Off Candles (ThinkGeek, $7.99) is the perfect alternative to dragon themed merchandise. These candles are made from real wax, but aren’t traditional candles. Instead of a real fire, the candles use LED lights to simulate a flickering flame. So not only do you not have to worry about your house burning down due to negligent ambiance, but that also means that these candles will a heck of a lot longer than a few hours. But I know, you want your candles to seem like actual candles, and apparently the made from wax bit isn’t doing it for you. Ok, how’s about that you turn these candles on and off by blowing a puff of air onto the wick? That’s right, there’s no fancy on/off switch on these babies, all you need is a healthy set of lungs to enjoy this decor.
Can’t remember which color is Nana’s favorite, red or green? Well, that’s not an issue because each candle can switch from red to green with the flick of a button. And you thought shopping for Nana would be hard.
5 out of 5 stars.
