***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…

Most of the products I buy are either handmade (i.e. detergents) or low-end priced. Bad economy+house loan = bad bad bad compination! :)

Cayenne says
I’ll fake it…meat by using soy imitation meat for tacos, chili, and spaghetti and not telling anyone. No one can tell the difference and it is much cheaper with less fat.

Krista G. says
I’ll fake it!! For home improvement, my faux go-to item is Daltile Navelli Carerra Star tile, a great faux-carrera marble tile. We’ve done three bathrooms in three different houses already in this tile – I love it!

Tracy says
I’ll fake it! When we can’t remember the words to a song, my husband and I will fake it and sing words that go along with whatever we happen to be doing at the moment. Cheesy? Yes, but it’s fun. :)
Antonia says
I’ll fake it! – I don’t really use fake things all that much. While I planned on buying some fake flowers for my apartment when I moved, my mother gently steered me towards the section selling actual living plants… Now my apartment is home to four plants, I recently planted some outside and I still have no idea how I have managed to keep them alive for even this long. I never thought I would be good with plants. So it would seem as though fake plants are out of the question for now. I do, however, have a fake butterly (pictures on my blog) on my wall. I would never ever put a real one anywhere, but the fake one is pretty.

I do fake plants on top of my kitchen cabinets. It’s too high to get up there to water all the time. They blend in well with all the real ones down below, too.

With three kids, a cat and generally too much going on in my life, I am petrified of burning the house down every time I light a candle!
I have people admire my designer dining room chairs. Hey – young children sit on those chairs for dinner every night. I’m not having them scuff up originals. I faked it!

Fake bacon bits. Seriously – your dishes can be all bacon-fied and your whole house doesn’t stink like bacon grease for days after.

I’ll FAKE IT
We purchase “fake” products when they perform as well as the ‘original’ and cost less. But, we don’t fake the things we love. Life’s too short.
