Skull Candles

As a lighting source, we never found much use for candles. Why bother with a chance for fire, messy wax cleanup and/or potential pet hazards when recessed cans and a dimmer switch can give you almost the same mood lighting? Because candles inherently look cool, they work when the power is out and they’re much cheaper to operate. Whether you’re trying to satisfy some morbid curiosity, decorating for Halloween or just want a little more Indiana Jones in your life, there’s a reason for one – or three (hey, save on shipping) – of these 100% paraffin wax (apparently that’s the good stuff) skull candles from West Elm.
