flameless candles, candlesI love using flameless candles because they are so safe.   I never have to worry about one getting knocked over (we have five kids!)  and causing a fire.  They can't catch curtains or other materials on fire if they happen to connect either.  The kids can even light them, and not have to use matches or lighters, so it is really safe for them to light.  Also, there is no harmful smoke going into the house when I use flameless candles.  There are some that smell good and flicker like a real candle, and they are both beautiful and affordable.  I love to make my home smell nice with by burning a candle, but feel that they can be dangerous especially when the kids are around.  The flameless candles are a great option, and there are lots of companies making them now.  I have found a lot online, and I know the prices are less online as well.  I give them as gifts sometimes because I just think they're really cool and much safer to use.
