Do you know how hard it is to find flameless votive candles with a timer function out in the retail stores? I searched for 3 months looking for them and came up empty! Sure, I could find all kinds of pillar candles and tapers with a timer feature, but I couldn’t find flameless votives! I finally gave up and went shopping on Amazon where I finally found them!

Why votives? I love using flameless votives in a variety of different ways. I have glass candle holders that use votives and I don’t burn regular candles in our home. Too dangerous with a cat and I have epilepsy, so I converted to flameless candles 10+ years ago. Next, they’re easy to use when decorating. Here’s a few simple ideas along with some benefits on using them.
– Turn a wine glass upside down. You can place a votive underneath it and a second one on the top.
– Use them inside your Jack o’ Lanterns and Carved Pumpkins
– Use them to add light to your tiered trays and table displays.
– Perfect size for shelves or add a few inside your hutch.
– Perfect additions to your Christmas and holiday displays.
– Keep one or two on in your master bedroom, kid’s rooms, and the bathroom. If power goes off at night you can see to go grab a lantern or flashlight.
– They don’t burn through batteries as quickly as larger flameless pillar candles.
– No flame, no fumes, and no wax mess!
– Perfect for traveling and camping.
– Affordable.
As I stated, I purchased a 6-pack of Flameless Votives with a 6 Hour Timer from Amazon. They’re made out of plastic and come with the button-cell battery already in them. Ready-to-use right out of the box! At night you’ll turn it on…then forget it about it! It will stay on for 6 hours and then automatically turn off for 18 hours. The next night they will automatically turn on again at the same hour of time as the night before.
I really love this set and a week after I had received them I went back and ordered 2 additional sets. I am using them all around my home as part of my decor. I also stashed away 3 of them in our travel bag to take with us when we travel. I always forget to pack a nightlight…and these don’t require electricity!

I actually already have these and have used them in many of the ways you have described. They are very useful.
I am so getting some of these as I have pets and these are perfect. That is a great price too on Amazon thank you for sharing. Also our power goes out all of the time here and these are perfect for this hot weather.
