flameless candles This year for Christmas my friend Sara surprised me with a gift of flameless candles. She knows I love using candles in my home. I think there's nothing like the soft light of a candle and the fabulous fragrances they release. I do worry about the flames, though. No part of my apartment is off limits to my cat, and he's constantly nosing around in places where he can get into trouble. If you've ever tried to keep a stubborn cat out of your belongings, I'm sure you can sympathize! So I only use my candles when I'm in the room and keeping an eye on everything. But these flameless candles are amazing! They don't have any actual flame, so I don't have to worry about my cat knocking them over and starting a fire. I can keep flameless candles anywhere, instead of only on high bookshelves where I hope my cat can't easily reach them. They produce a beautiful, flickering light and are even fragranced! It was definitely one of the best gifts I received this year. Now I can enjoy candles whenever I want to, without the worry. Thanks, Sara!
