***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***
Who doesn’t love candelight? The soft glow, the romantic mood, the fire hazard… wait, forget that last part. Well, you can literally forget about that last part thanks to the bright minds behind this week’s giveaway from Smart Candle. Their flameless candles take the mess and worry out of setting the mood at your next dinner party, couple’s night in or spooky séance (if you’re into that sort of thing).
We were a smidge skeptical of these faux candles at first, but after receiving a set to take for a test-run, we were pleasantly surprised. The rechargeable LED light has an incredible way of flickering so randomly that you’d have almost no idea they weren’t real. Plus, their tea-light size means you can drop them into just about any of your existing votive candle holders if you ever need a change from the modern, frosted glass cups that Smart Candle provides (or even some cool luminary bags to line your front walkway). They’ll even look great in your windows during the holidays.
And the good news is that we’ve got TWO 4-pack gift sets up for grabs (each retailing at $52). To enter, just comment on this post with the words “I’LL FAKE IT” by Wednesday, May 27 at 8pm EST. And while you’re at it, tell us what other imitation items you happily rely on. Are you all about buying generic grocery store items? Do you gladly show off your faux-croc loafers? Do cover bands really get you going?
We’ll select our two lucky winners using random.org and announce them later in the week. As usual we only accept one entry per e-mail address, but Smart Candle ships globally so everyone on the entire planet has a shot at the prize. Good luck…

I have this huge vase/hurricane that I keep on the floor tucked into a little nook in my living room. I love keeping branches, tall stalk-like flowers (like gladiolas) ro whatever else I can get my paws on that will add a little height and texture to the spot. Last week I found these grogeous silk forsithia branches in Pottery Barn on clearance. They give the room a wonderfully springy feel!

I tend to fake my age, as I’m 25 but work with executives. I love it and can be myself, but frequently find myself in meetings where my age is equal to the number of people over 50 in the room.

My dad and I painted a wall in my apartment so that it looks textured (which can be really expensive!), but it’s just an (cheap) illusion.
