Wow Flameless Candles!

A couple weeks ago while shopping at Costco I found a 3 pack set of flame less candles on an end cap. I checked them out and put them back.

Before I left the store, I convinced myself that I did really need them and since they were a rebate at the register deal at the time (such a bargain!) I should buy them.

Well they are the coolest things! They came with batteries and get this, a timer option! I added them to my fall garland on the fireplace mantle and they look beautiful! DH set them to come on at 5:00 pm and turn off at 10:00. They are a cream color and vanilla scented. They look so real. Far above the quality of any other's that I've looked at before.

Just thought I'd share this. I love candles, but have concerns with the safety issues, so these are great. I've now figured out that I need more of these, but I doubt they still have the rebate offer and I really shouldn't
I think they were $14.99 after the rebate. They will also work great w/ my Christmas decorating!

How much were they before the rebate? Does the scent go away? If so, how do you refill that?

I am looking for some affordable flameless candles!!!

Can you tell me who the maker/manufacturer is on these???
I don't have a Costco here.

If they are scented, then I am assuming that the outer shell of the candle is actually scented wax... And, I am hoping to find some made of poly or something that is more durable and cleanable.

I would love to hear more about these, or any other great flameless candles that anybody has found!

$19.99 before the rebate. Of course my husband threw away the box, so I'm not sure how long the scent lasts, if it even mentioned that. I didn't even notice if it mentioned the timer, that was a bonus.

I don't think you refill them. They look and feel like a candle and even have what looks like a burnt wick. They sort of flicker when they are on.

CVS had a three pack on special in this weeks ad. $9.99 I think. They don't have the timer, have a faux plastic flame and are staggered heights. Otherwise they are pretty much the same. Unfortunately, I'm now spoiled by the timer.

My husband threw away the box! I'll let you know the manufacturer info if I buy more. Hopefully my second post answers some of your questions.

I bought a four pack of the Glade Wisps from a seller on Ebay back in February (we were staying in a hotel room for Valentine's Day and you can't light real candles in the room) for $20 with free shipping. They're refillable (you pop off the base and stick in a new oil container) but if you just leave them on the battery dies in a few hours (they do continue to scent the house/room though). You can adjust the amount of "puff" that comes out too. They look real especially if they're put somewhere eye level or higher but they don't have a timer ability.

I love flameless candles as it seems I can never find my matches or lighter when I need to light a candle.

DW bought some at the Dollar Store. They were $6 for a package of 3(I think). They weren't scented but they looked cool in some little jack-o-lantern decorations we had around the house.

I love flameless candles!

I started out 2 years ago with the votive size that they sold at the craft store. I used them in all my Xmas stuff....loved being able to have everything lit and not worry about the cats or leaving the room.

I bought a set like the OP's at our warehouse - similar, but no timer. I love those too. The scent was light to begin with and has faded quite a bit. That is fine with me, I would prefer unscented - then I can pick a seasonal candle and put it on the warmer!
