Wine Bottle Candle Holders

“These 100% authentic oversized wine bottles are recast into candlelight beauties for your home. A celebration of the ‘Big Bottle’ party I created years ago for the Wine Auction Napa Valley, our limited-edition Wine Bottle Hurricanes re-purpose the out-sized bottles used exclusively by winemakers for special bottling. We’ve hand cut each and carefully polished the edges to create dramatic and evocative hurricanes that glow with flickering candlelight.” LINK

Money To Burn Candle

“Burning money in this economy would seem a bit absurd, unless you were using a Money to Burn Candle! This 6″ x 2.5″ x 1″ candle looks like a bunch of $100 bills held together with a money roll. But take a closer look and you will see that this bunch of money is really a fun candle! Give one as a gift, or decorate your house with them and feel rich!” LINK

Black Skull Candle

Coiled Beeswax Candle and Holder, a Primitive Timer

The Candle by the Hour is sort of a primitive auto-shut off feature for times gone by when people read by candle lights.

The coiled beeswax candle is fed through a clamp and then lit - so you choose how much candle to burn: every 3 inches provide about an hour of candle light and the entire coil will give you 144 hours. At $27 for a refill, it’ll cost you about $0.19 per hour to burn this baby!

Candle Flames That Move & Multiply

Bravit Candles, designed by German-born and Eindhoven-trained Christophe van Bömmel, are made of sheets of paraffin. They have trails of wicks that cause the original flame to ignite other flames and to die out over time. LINK



The design is traced by the burning wicks. The candle undergoes a constant metamorphosis as two, three, or sometimes even five flames at the same time assume the shape of a transient work of art. LINK
