***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’ll fake it – especially for knock-off shoes from Target. A couple years ago I got a pair of peep-toe wedges for half the price of the department store version – and I still get compliments every time I wear them. This year’s best find is the Merona Eleora sandal….

Throw Pillows – I will buy CHEAP (ugly even) throw pillows at garage sales (.$50), throw them in the washer and dryer and then will ‘re-cover’ them by sandwiching the pillow between 2 fabric napkins and GLUEING them together. WALL-AH you have newly recovered (cheap) pillows that you can recover next season with little guilt!

While I love a leather bag and don’t generally find plastic shoes comfortable, I will totally wear plastic sandals all summer. The cheaper, the better. Target always does right by me and my favorite sandals last year came from (shhh) Walmart.

I’LL FAKE IT! Um, we use “faux” everything as much as possible… I love the feeling of pulling a fast one on someone. Our new dining table looks EXACTLY like the mango wood table from Crate & Barrel (for $800), but we got ours at Target for $60 when their Home Decor event went on clearance. :)
