  <title>Flickering LED Candles that Can be Blown Out</title>

  <description><![CDATA[ We've seen some nice <a href="http://www.househacker.com/permanent/Rechargeable-Flickering-Votive-Candles">flickering LED candles</a> before, but none were quite as clever as this set that can actually be blown out (and back on).<br><br>

From ThinkGeek.com:<br><br><em>

The LED Blow On-Off Candles still have a waxy coating and a natural-looking, flickering light just like normal candles, but they have one magic feature. Regular candles will blow out if you blow on the flame, but these LED candles will also blow on. All you have to do is press the master on/off switch on the bottom, and these candles will turn on and off with just a puff at the "flame." From the proper distance and height, these candles will fool everyone into thinking they are the real thing; they are a fantastic way to put candles where it is too dangerous to have open flames. And, they won't drip wax all over your mithril armor either.

Unfortunately the candles are not rechargeable, but they do, however, light for 300 hours off of two AA batteries.]]></description>

  <title>Ingenious Candles with Built In Matchbook</title>

  <description><![CDATA[ Now this is clever!  Never have to search for a lighter or misplaced matchbook again with these matches-included <a href="http://www.househacker.com/tags/candles">candles</a>.  From the site:<br><br><em>
Hygge-lys
Paraffin candle with a built-in matchbox. Walton was inspired to create these candles shortly after coming to Denmark. In Scandinavia, cosiness - locally known as hygge - is often associated with the use of candles. Walton quickly perceived the need for a special candle that kept the matches within easy reach. So he cast a little matchbox in the bottom of each candle, and produced a little booklet to explain the genesis of the product. </em>

  <title>Beautiful Oil Lamp Shadow Projector</title>

  <description><![CDATA[ There's just something appealing in the warmth of a <a href="http://www.househacker.com/permanent/Rechargeable-Flickering-Votive-Candles">candle's</a>  flicker, perhaps more so for those of us unfortunate enough to be experiencing the first hit of old man winter.  People of all climates, however, can appreciate the beauty of these stainless steel oil lamp shadow projectors, by Adam Frank.  The projected shadow size is "adjustable", obviously dependent on the base's distance from the wall.  The site claims this to be the first in a series.  The fuel cells lasts 17 hours.]]></description>
