Reddit mentions: The best candleholders

Hi, Ricki! My name is Bridget! And I'm totally okay with the idea of buying love. I'm VERY into Harry Potter (I'll be checking your wish list for all the HP related items I should be asking for). I graduated college and now I'm looking for work, hopefully with a nice nonprofit organization where I can use my heart in my job. (Oopa, I already found something from your wish list I'm going to add: Time Turner Keychain! I have the necklace on my list, but this is much more everyday-functional. Dont want to walk around every day wearing one on my neck or people are going to take advantage of my time travel abilities!) I also see that you watch Community, Dr. Who, and Game of Thrones, three shows I want to get into. Which should I start with?

We also have VERY identical taste in music! As in...I have or want every single one of those songs/artists on your music list. Uncanny!

I also want to say that I like that a strong woman like yourself isn't embarrassed to have a mustache. Mustaches are very womanly! (Amazon profile pic! =D)

Lastly, I LOVE Disney World. Ever been to World or Land? I've been to world twice, and I want to go again with my family within the next 3 or so years, and also stop at HP world. So fun!

For my gift, I'd love this neat candle holder. I love astronomy, and this is cutely star shaped (even though stars are actually flaming spheres, and whoever got the idea that they're shaped like our idea of stars is a moron!)

Nice contest. Got any questions for me? ♥

For some reason, Im drawn to these black trees for some sort of decoration, depending on how tall they are, they could be centerpieces maybe?

I like this wristband bracelet for bridesmaids to wear, if you have some, or even yourself, depending on your dress color.

I like the idea of black candelabras everywhere, I feel like they are very romantic/dark, if done right. Something like this minus the fake spiders, and these Bleeding candle sticks are very cool.

If you're serving punch, an intricate black punch bowl would look great. Maybe a bowl on every other table, since they're little?

Satin flower girl basket, but I think there is a whole set for this, with a guest book and ring pillow. The gems are white, but it looks like you could easily pop them out, and place them with purple.

Instead of having guests sign a guest book, you could frame this Map of Europe and take the glass out and have people sign it. It would look amazing with all the well wishes on it, but still have a neat background to it.

A set of these Apothocary jars, filled with candy or matches, placed at the bar, or around the cake table, just as little accents. And you could wrap them with a band of purple ribbon to help tie your colors together.

And lastly, I always love candles at a wedding I feel like they are the symbol of romance. Lots of candles, everywhere. They give off just the right amount of light.

Good luck, hope Ive helped just a little. <3

Thanks for the contest! I hope to see pics of how the wedding decorations look!!!

Yay! I'm so excited that you're getting your own place! That's such a good feeling!

Startup an excel spreadsheet and make a budget for yourself. I find that once I have a budget setup I pay even more attention to my money and figure out new ways to save. I have helped my roommate and my boyfriend setup a budget. :o)

The meat market can save you sooo much money and make you more conscious about the items you are buying and motivate you to cook more.

Crockpots are awesome and help you save time during the week. I know you work from home, but ready-made food throughout the week is awesome!

The Magic Bullet or Nutribullet are both great to have in the home for smoothies! Of course you can blend other items in the cups as well.

I have this Himalayan Salt Lamp and I love it. I also have this Himalayan Salt Candle Holder....actually everything I'm linking you is something that I own and love, something I have experience with, or a similar model (the crock pot was a random model) lol


Oh and this tea because it's delicious.

Okay, I've always dreamed of having a room that was all done up Arabian Nights style, with lovely lush silks hanging from the walls and pretty Moroccan lamps everywhere, so... I'm gonna give you that, via amazon suggestions :)

First we start with this lovely canopy for your bed. Then I would add this Incense burner because well, it looks like a genie lamp, and incense is sexy and can help you set the mood. Then we would hang several of these beautiful hanging candle holders around the room, for mood, also it's impossible for anyone to look bad by candle light. Then we would hang several of these along the walls, to really give it that Arabian appeal, so you feel like you are in a tent. Then top that off with a few more candle holder lamps around the room, and some poufs and some rugs and you have yourself a lovely harem, all you need to do is fill it with sexy men :)

Justin Bieber is one of the cockiest douchebags to ever rise to fame.


also I would love to send you a post card :)

This is something very near and dear to my heart as both I and my oldest nephew have food allergies. There are tons of fun, non-food items you can hand out to trick or treaters that they will love. My favorite to hand out has been play-do. Other good ones are those Mardi Gras necklaces, stickers, or stamp rings. Please consider at least adding a few different non-food items to your normal candy giving.

...Btw, if you are looking for cool teal pumpkins and don't want to paint one yourself, Amazon has a lot of neat ones to put out. I'm told Target sometimes has them as well.

Oh no! I'm sorry you're so sick and overwhelmed. <3 Here are some pictures of cute baby animals that will hopefully make you smile.

I have this candle warmer and dish on my wishlist. I found out about them when I came home for winter break, because my mom got one for the living room. It's amazingly useful, because you can use it to both melt a jar candle as well as wax melts.

It's awesome because you can use any kind of wax melt or candle that you have, so whatever scent relaxes you can be used! Or if you need something energizing, you can quickly switch out to another scent. I'm using a tea tree mint wax melt right now while I'm home, which smells absolutely amazing.

When I'm stressed and want to relax, I generally try to get myself away from the computer and towards a book instead. I light a candle, lay down in bed, and just proceed to read. Sometimes I'll take a bath instead, and use some nice bath salts or a bath bomb that I've saved just for occasions when I'm stressed.

I hope that the rest of your week is better than it's been going! <3

Not rosyncrantz, but this looks fairly doable. (And I'm not the craftiest person.)

I'd go to Joann's or Michael's.

Get some decorative branches and put them into a green foam base that's used for flower arrangements. Get some fake flowers to cover the base, or get some white satin fabric and bunch around it like a Christmas tree.

In your pic, you have crystals dangling from bead strands. Joann's sells both. The strands come in like 6-12 inch lengths, and come in a variety of bead types. And get some cool tear drop crystals. They come with holes. Just get jewelry rings to fasten them to you beade strands.

The tea light holders, I'm not sure if Joann's would have them, but there are some on Amazon. Like this or this. There are now plenty of battery powered tea lights that flicker and look nice. Get a box.

The hardest part is going to be getting the decorative branches. The one in the picture looks like some grayish birch, but they will probably be dark brown in the stores. You could keep that color and drape it with crystals and beads. Or you may want to spray paint them, and I would go with a soft gray instead of a white. You may also be able to find some (relatively) cheap trees on stands as Christmas decorations.

Good luck!

I'm honestly kind of surprised at the amount of Western-themed stuff there is out there. Nightlights, decals for your toilet, candle holders, little light-up wagons...It's crazy.

It doesn't really fit into your criteria up there, but I'd suggest checking out the podcast Thrilling Adventure Hour, specifically the "Sparks Nevada, Marshal on Mars" segments. It's basically an old fashioned radio western that takes place in the future on Mars, and it's hilarious!

I've got a $5 and under list you can pick from if I happen to win. Thanks for the contest, and Don't call me Mad Dog.

Not your typical piece when you think of home décor, but we have lots of stairs in our home (my parents home, actually, until we can save up to put down the payment on our first home!), and a baby gate would be the perfect statement piece in our kitchen. ;)

Oh shoot! It's $14 without shipping, so I'm out of the running with a baby gate. If you happen to choose me, anything else on my wish list would be fine. Candle holders? http://www.amazon.com/Twisted-Wire-Candle-Sconce-Set/dp/B003BGUC2Q/ref=sr_1_14?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1375372487&sr=1-14&keywords=wall+decor

Home Sweet Home

Omg I love those little cutie pies!

My parents got me an American Girl Doll when I was nine years old. I loved dressing it up in different outfits, but back then the price of a dress was more than a dress for me! I didn't want to ask my parents to spend money on that. One day my mother took me to the craft store, and I asked to buy fabric. We got home and she showed me how to sew. So since then, I love making things! Right now it's just pet beds, mainly because I don't dress up my doll anymore lol, but I plan to make clothes for my future little human(s).

Thanks for the contest!

Furnishing for your apartment, there are TONS of different designs though if you don't like this one and I love mine so much! They are both decorative and useful. <3

Less than a dollar, this necklace is awesome sauce!

Thank you for the contest :-D

I swear to puppies I'm going to throw a psychotic fit.

It's amazing, what stress can do to a person. One minute you're at work, and everything is fine, the next, you're going crazy and hitting things with a big squeaky hammer. Wouldn't it be nice if there was a way to moderate the stress in you life so that you don't have to resort to the squeaky hammer? Well, now there is! What better than having a Zen Garden right in your office! You can rake the sand, organize the rocks, and relax in the beauty that is a Zen Garden. How perfect! No more squeaky hammer related tragedies in your office! It even has prime shipping - so you can get relaxed within 2 days!

A few diff styles that might help get you thinking:

-party vibes
I thought this was cool- I know it is pricy but I'm sure there is more like this.

-spiritual vibes

-contemplative vibes


-festive vibes

-As for the kettle bells, have no recommendations, but they are pretty standard, don't think quality or brand makes a huge difference

This is my boring old kitchen table, our kitchen pretty much has nothing in it. Wondering where the kitchen chairs are? We have none :( We have to save up and buy some. In the mean time I have a table runner and candle set on my house needs/wants wishlist I would Love to have for my kitchen table. The table runner is the first thing I would like to get. Are we allowed to link wishlist items again?

/u/Cheeseburgerhumper - I don't know him very well, but I admire his dedication in the daily thread, and I love him for it.

This crazy cool salt light holder in his 11 - 25 list!

Tyara, I'm not used to the username yet.

Congrats!! :D :D

You should totally have these in some of the centerpieces! This is also super pretty. And this is probably too pricey for centerpieces, but it would be really neat if you could work gargoyles into them!

A candle warmer is great for the office! Safe, flameless and smokeless, but you still get the fragrance of the candle. And the candle will last you forever since you're not burning the wax away! This is just a basic one, but they have a bunch of other styles. I have one of these myself and I just love it. I practically leave it on all the time.

Pimp my cube

(also I may come back to this and add more ideas. I'm unemployed and one of my job requirements is to have a desk to call home so I have a lot of ideas. Hey, after working retail, I can't call anything mine!)

fear cuts deeper than words

Edit #1 - Replaced #1 #2, #9, #13, #15, edited some text, added bonuses

Okay, so a lot of my items are similar, or are kind of "flexing" the rules, but I will leave official rulings up to you. Here goes!

1. Something Grey - Strip of magnesium - This actually just got gifted to me. This coal trash can is silver, which is basically grey :D
   
   2)Something reminiscent of rain - Zen Garden - Flexing the rules. It's only related because it's a garden. An umbrella!! I don't have one of these, and I have no idea why.
   
   
2. Food related - Pineapple corer/slicer
   
   
3. On wishlist not for me (this is for my fiancee) - Apple Cider k-cups
   
   
4. A book you should read - Everyone should have the Joy of Cooking
   
   6)Item less than a dollar - MP3
   
   
5. Something related to cats - This is related because of that scene in "Christmas Vacation" where the cat gets electrocuted
   
   
6. [Beautiful but not useful - Lego adoption of Brandenburg Gate](

7. Movie everyone should see once - Not on wishlist - Harlan County, USA. This documentary is nearly perfect in every sense of the word. This movie is so powerful, and so real, it's just unbelievable. One of my favorites. I always suggest it when someone asks "what documentary should I see?"
   
   
8. Something useful when Zombies attack - Kinect Your Shape Fitness Evolved - You need to be able to Outwit, Outrun, and Outlast.
   
   
9. Profound impact on life - Guitar. I really want to learn how to play, and my dad was going to teach me, but he passed before he was able to. It would mean a lot to share that passion with him even though he's already moved on
   
   
10. Add-On Item - Cat6 cable!!!
    
    
11. Most expensive item -It's actually the guitar, so I went with the 2nd most expensive which is a Logitech G19 keyboard Nope. It's actually this amp.
    
    
12. Bigger than a bread box - Mizuno backpack
    
    
13. Smaller than a golf ball - Not sure if a k-cup would count, but I threw it in there. If it doesn't count, I will find something else It doesn't. Here's some ship and anchor cufflinks I really want for my wedding :)
    
    
14. Something that smells wonderful - Kind of cheating, but a different k-cup. Donut shop coffee is the BEST. Changed to a different beverage. I have a horrible addiction to this stuff, and it smells wonderful (to me)
    
    
15. SFW Toy - Legos are a toy!! :D
    
    
16. Helpful going back to school - I listed the Zen Garden again because it's helpful to have something peaceful when going back to school

18. Something amazing/awe inspiring - SERIOUSLY. LOOK AT THIS FUCKING CHAIR. THIS MOTHERFUCKER RIGHT HERE? THIS SHIT FOLDS UP SO YOU CAN CARRY IT. NOT GOOD ENOUGH? SHIT, SON. THIS BITCH HAS TWO ARMRESTS FOR YOUR LAZY ASS. STILL BITCHING? GUESS WHAT DICKLIPS, THIS BITCH HAS TWO CAN HOLDERS AND A FUCKING COOLER. YOU DON'T EVEN NEED TO GET YOUR BITCH ASS UP TO GET A DRINK, BAM, YOU ALREADY GOT ONE. IT EVEN HAS A POUCH TO HOLD YOUR OTHER SHIT, IF ALL OF THIS ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH. YOU NEED TO HAVE THIS CHAIR.
    
    
    BONUS #1 - I looked through your reddit history (not very hard, but I did look), and came up empty, so I'll just post something later that might fit.
    
    BONUS #2 - These blankets are made in Oregon, and look SUPER cool. Not on my WL (I have more than enough blankets), but I really like them.
    
    
    I may attempt the bonuses tomorrow, we will see. This is definitely a placeholder until rulings on some items are made. Fix'd :D

A nice candle with a candle warmer. Our school wouldnt let us light the candle, but they are these cool trays that warm them to release the good scent. Like this one

• check
  
  
• /u/angelicbabygirl and /u/kilgoretrout83
  
  
• Items
  
• Item #1 - Tardis Pillow
  
  
  
• Item #2 - Soy Massage Oil Candle
  
• Item #3 - Zen Garden
  
• and if you're feeling adventurous...fourth thing
  
  
• Frugal thing ~ make leftover friendly foods. Like, casseroles. :)

Actually, if you look at this listing for the same product you will see that the heater never comes into contact with melted wax since the heater is only supposed to be used with jarred candles.

Also, these heaters rarely melt the wax of the candle, they just warm it up so that the wax gives up some of its scented oil. It would take an hour or more for it to warm up a glass of water to the point it would be comfortable to shave with.

Honestly the easiest thing to do would be to put a mug of distilled water in a large coffee mug and just microwave it. It should stay plenty hot enough for your entire shave and you don't risk directly mixing water with questionable electrical appliances.

Thank you so much for the contest!!! I LOVE Halloween!
I've always wanted one of these

I have two cats both of whom are kneaders and both of whom occasionally like to "help" me meditate. I wear a blanket over my legs and usually have a thick bathrobe on (since I meditate right after I shower) and that helps with any kneading.

As for candle safety, I use a catholic votive candle which comes in a glass jar and keep it in a small box shrine with doors. If you are using a more open flame so you can see it to meditate on you might consider getting a long box that you can stand up and put the candle in or even a tall clear glass candle holder or even an oil lantern with a wick.

I would expand and build onto my kitchen. I am so desperate for a decent kitchen hahaha

Nice! Here is the link. On mobile, so my apologies if I fuck it up.

It is a gorgeous lamp :)

I had to comb through my history but it was this Moroccan style lamp. It’s gorgeous https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B3KOODU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_274nDbZCNS265

It sure looks like one, they don't get hot enough to melt all the candle wax but will still make your home smell good.

Instead of traditional incense, you can use an electric wax melter and Essential Oils. Basically, instead of putting wax in the top section to melt down, you put a small amount of water in it, then drip essential oils, or fragrance oils, into the water. Of course, you could always just get different wax tarts with the herbal scents you want instead, as well.


Or, you can use a steam diffuser like this one to heat up the essential oils. It creates steam, so you can have the visual cue of a "smoke" without breaking the rules.

We haven't bought them yet, so I can't speak of the quality.

Also, here are the lanterns we're getting

Blue: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008YQ5AKC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_tX-Tzb952A898

Whenever I do lanterns, I use a dremel to cut the bottom completely open (cut a big circle out, smooth out your rough metal edges after). This is also doable by drilling a starter hole and then using tin snips.

This big open area becomes my battery storage and also a spot for a wireless dimmer if you're doing that. Next, I cut a piece of 1/4" luuan/skinply into a circle that fits into the base, paint it out to match the lantern, and apply velcro to it and the edge of my remaining lip in the base. Voila! Removable base!

Next, I remove the wick and little holder thing. This can usually be pried off. If you can only get the wick out and removed enough other gunk to get into your opened reservoir, you can also just tinsnip open the wick holder to make it wider. Now you can insert either a 12v lamp base, a battery operated candle, etc. Because you have access inside, you can also decide to install a switch on the lantern base to allow your actor to turn it on/off.


OR...you can make your life really easy and convince your team to just buy an LED lantern. You'll find them lots of places now because of halloween, but you can always find them on Amazon, etc. https://www.amazon.com/Seasons-Rustic-Fashioned-Light-Lantern/dp/B00BLPSGG8/

Why not just get the candle warmer? You can get it for under $6 on Amazon.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003IT5K0U/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&seller=

I use a 6 foot tall menorah I made out of plywood a few years ago. (For some reason the pictures aren't on imgur anymore but you can get a rough idea from the thumbnail on reddit). I use candle lanterns to hold the candles. Also since I use it outside they provide wind protection. Wood obviously does burn. I've never seen anything available commercially they will make it non flammable. As other have said if you want to make the frame out of wood just make sure the candles are secured with a non-flammable material. You could also consider using oil in a glass container with a wick holder, or short candles like neronim in a votive glass holder. Both of those should keep the flame contained and away from your wood. If you go with standard wax candles, the thing to remember is that the candle will burn down and could ignore whatever is below it, and it could also fall sideways, so make sure you're covered in either direction.

Clay will retain it's shape if you fire it, but it's surprisingly bad for holding candles. Something about the rigidity and the fact that candles seem to change sizes every few years makes it a bad fit. If you can make it work, great, but I've just had bad luck with it.

LPT: Candle warmers provide flame-free scent and prevent singed kitty parts. Also useful for leg wax if you're so inclined.

Get a sturdy candle lantern and then it should be (relatively) safe to let a candle burn down unattended.

I thought this was a really cool lantern :)

Looks like a wreath of flowers with a small lantern.

Buy a candle warmer

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003IT5K0U/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_1QGQub16C6WZD

Buy an air purifier with a charcoal filter and blow the hit through a packed paper towel length sploof in there. Have scented oil in a [warmer] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003IT5K0U/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1417008600&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SY200_QL40) going or a candle and put a glade plug-in by the door. Remember to towel the door as usual.

My room smells like it belongs to a hot chick, but not trees at least.

$8.03 on Amazon!

Though I don't have any info on the warmers you already have, sorry.

Himalayan salt candle holders. Link

I have used a candle warmer to do something similar to this in the past.

black and purple rug

black and purple hanging Moroccan lantern candle holders

For a fraction of that price you can go with this.

I use that for steeping. Just place a coffee mug with hot water on it, place in your bottles (I've used both plastic and glass w/o any problems), then go to sleep and wake up with steeped juice.

edit: typo.

So many decorations. From various posters to lanterns and other light things.
