Energizer Flameless Wax Candles; Holiday Review & Giveaway

I'm a candle lover. As a matter of a fact my husband asked me the other day if we had enough candles in case the power went out during the Sandy fiasco, then started laughing hysterically ( I'm guessing he found my stash). One thing I'm always worried about though, is forgetting to blow them out and leaving or going to bed. It's happened a couple times and always freaks me out a bit, as I'd really prefer not to wake up to the house burning down around me. That's why I was so excited when I heard that Energizer had Flameless Wax Candles.

Energizer Flameless Wax Candle

My thoughts:
I received a 3x4 taupe pillar in honey vanilla scent and a four pack of Energizer Max AA bateries with Power Seal technology. I wasn't sure I would actually like a flameless candle as much as the real thing, thinking that the glow and flicker of the flame would not be as good. I was very surprised when I unwrapped my candle. The out side texture is a little "bumpy" like a textured candle would be and feels just like real wax. I like that it isn't perfect--not perfectly smooth and the upper edge isn't cut exact. This gives it the look of a real candle instead of an assembly line, machine stamped product. You insert the four AA batteries into the bottom of the pillar, attach the cover and have easy access to your on/off and timer switches. This particular scent is very mild and I honestly cannot imagine that it would bother even the most sensitive person.

I love keeping mine in the bedroom on my nightstand. I can set the time so that it turns on before bed and shuts off a little while after I fall asleep. I love being able to look at the flickering flame while drifting off to sleep, it is so relaxing and I don't have to worry about fire!

BUY IT: These would make fantastic holiday gifts for anyone on your holiday list. Especially if you think of someone that has allergies or asthma and is very sensitive to strong scents, now they can enjoy candles with a mild scent! Now availble on Amazon.com Holiday designs to be released soon.

WIN IT: One reader is going to win a 3x4 pillar in honey vanilla scent and a 4 pack of Energizer Max batteries. (approx value is $24)
