Who doesn’t love candlelight? The soft glow and cozy atmosphere are perfect for dinners, quiet evenings, or themed gatherings. You can skip the worry about open flames with this week’s giveaway from Smart Candle. Their flameless candles offer the ambiance of real candles without the smoke, wax mess, or fire risk, making them ideal for dining tables, living rooms, or outdoor paths.
We were initially skeptical about faux candles, but after trying a set we were pleasantly surprised. The rechargeable LED inside each candle flickers in a natural, random way that makes it hard to tell the difference from a real flame. The tea-light size fits most existing votive holders, so you can mix them with your current décor—whether that’s frosted glass cups, lanterns, or luminary bags lining a walkway. They also work well in windows during holidays or as part of year-round decorative displays.
We’re giving away TWO 4-pack gift sets from Smart Candle (each set retails for $52). To enter, comment on this post with the words “I’LL FAKE IT” by Wednesday, May 27 at 8pm EST. When you comment, tell us what imitation items you happily use—do you prefer store-brand groceries, faux-leather shoes, or cover bands at live shows? Share your favorite swaps between real and faux that make daily life easier or more affordable.
Winners will be chosen at random and announced later in the week. We accept one entry per email address. Smart Candle ships globally, so entrants from any country are welcome to participate. Good luck to everyone who enters.
