About Decorating with Faux Holiday Greens and Flameless Candles
Enjoy the beauty and ambiance of candlelight without the danger of an open flame. Flameless candles have the look and aroma of real candles without the worry.

These realistic looking candles are available in a variety of sizes, styles, colors and designs including special holiday, color changing and remote control candles. Popular candle types include:
- Tea lights
- Tapers
- Round and square pillars
- Votives
