You may be surprised to learn that besides getting these awesome lighter shaped candles for your favorite smokers birthday cake, you will also need to get one that actually works to light them. Seems like a lot of duplication and a failing on the part of the manufacturer. It couldn’t cost them much to add one working lighter with the pack.

Either of these disembodied hands will do a fine job holding your candles, allowing you to have your candlelight without hot wax dripping onto your skin. And when no candles are around, you have a nice thumbs up decoration with one hand, while the other looks like it is doing something a bit more risque.

At first glance, you may think: “Big deal, it’s an ugly hat riding cow udders…Useless”. But that’s before you realize that the cap can be removed to reveal a fine smelling candle with a 40 hour burn time. You’ll be sorry you insulted the hat next time you need to keep warm or mask a noxious funk…Utterly useful.

It’s called the Pumpkin Pal, but there is nothing friendly about stabbing your Jack O’ Lantern with a sword. On the other hand, it does light up, so it is safer than candles as a light source—and kids can pull it out of the pumpkin skull King Arthur style and use it as a safety light while trick-or-treating. Additional images are available after the break.

If your birthday boy or girl needs a little incentive to put some effort into blowing out the candles on their cake, these candles should give them plenty. Sticks of dynamite and little bombs can only be left to burn for so long before something bad could happen. There won’t be any explosion when using these candles, but you are the only one who is really sure about that.

Birthday coming up? Light Bites offer a fork/candle holder combo which allows instant cake access without having to search for silverware, saving you those precious seconds between when the blowing ends and the eating begins (there’s my innuendo for the day). However, there’s still the obligatory waiting period while the candles burn and people sing and take pictures, which will no doubt result in you having to eat waxy cake with a hot, waxy utensil… Delish!

You can turn your votive burning nights from a bit effeminate into very cool when you use this Cauldron Votive Holder based on the Harry Potter movies. It may just be buying into the hype that is Harry Potter, but you don’t need to say exact what the cauldron is based on. It is just a cool way to burn candles.

The guest of honor will probably be a bit amused when you bring him a cake with this Dynamite Candle on it. The moment of panic won’t set in until they go to blow it out and it relights. They know it is fake, or are at least 99.9% sure.
