Glade Wisp Flameless Candle —

Intro
I go through spurts with my candle usage. I'm not sure why, but I don't burn candles on a regular basis, yet periodically I'll be burning them day and night for a month or two, then stop cold turkey, only to return to it after a few more months. One of the times I get inspired to burn candles is every time I see a new candle product. Glade has recently come out with the Wisp Flameless Candle, and I just had to give it a try.

The "Candle"
The Glade Wisp Flameless Candle is a white frosted glass holder that instead of holding a wax candle with a wick, holds a tiny bottle of fragrance and a small interior light. The fragrance is released continuously with a dial setting on the bottom where you can adjust how much fragrance is released. The problem with this is, with it being on the bottom, it's hard to get to without turning the candle over and potentially spilling the fragrance. The flickering light is battery-operated and run by pressing down on the top of the unit, and turning it off by simply pressing down on it again. It will stay "lit" for three hours before it turns itself off. The fragrance will last 21 to 45 days, depending on how strong the dial is set, and the batteries in the light will last for approximately thirty days when used for three hours a day. The fragrance choices are French Vanilla, Clean Linen, Suddenly Spring, Apple Cinnamon, Hawaiian Breeze, and Rainshower.

My Use
The Glade Wisp Flameless Candles are regularly around $10, but I bought mine with a Walgreens rebate for $3 off. Now that I've tried it, I'm going to spend the full $10 to buy another one. I'm currently redoing my kitchen, and I keep thinking how nice it will look with one of these sitting on the counter at either end. I could probably even buy a different fragrance than the French Vanilla one I now have, so that I come up with an interesting mix. I don't have small kids in my home anymore, but I keep thinking how this would be the perfect option for homes that do. I rarely had candles going when my kids were younger, because I was so afraid that they would bump them or something and start a fire.

Conclusion
For a safer, easier way to burn candles that still has the same ambiance of the fragrance and flickering light, Glade Wisp Flameless Candles are it.
