Why flameless pillar candles make a good gift

Plain pillar shapes fit almost any room, style or colour scheme, so there is less need to guess someone's taste.
A set with different heights makes a finished-looking display right out of the box.
Built-in timers can turn the candles on each evening, so nobody has to remember.

What to look for

Check the heights and diameters in the set and whether they suit the mantel or table.
Confirm the battery type, whether batteries are included, and how the timer cycle works.
Look at the flame style, since some flicker like a real flame while others give a steady glow.
