Why indoor holiday string lights make a good gift

  • Lights change the feel of a room more than most single decorations do.
  • Battery-powered lights work in dorms and apartments where outlets are limited.
  • They can stay up after the holidays for a cozy winter look.

What to look for

  • Check the total length and number of bulbs against the mantel, window or tree.
  • Confirm the power source and whether batteries or a plug adapter are included.
  • Look for timers, remote controls or light modes if convenience matters to the recipient.

Questions people ask

Are LED or incandescent lights better for indoor decorating?
LED lights use less power and come in many colour tones. Some people prefer the traditional warm glow of incandescent bulbs.
How long do battery string lights last?
It depends on the number of bulbs and the batteries used. A built-in timer helps the batteries last longer through the season.
