Winter season is candle season for many of us. If your loved one is one of those folks, gift them this rechargeable electric lighter. It uses a flame-free electric arc to light up a candle’s wick. They’ll be able to light all the candles they want—without burning their fingers or constantly having to replace the lighter. And, it looks sleek, too.


For Tinned Fish Aficionados
