Every single one of the candles works perfectly and the flame flickers just like a real candle. They were really easy to put up into the ceiling because they were already strong with the fishing line.
I just used clear thumbtacks and wrapped the line around it and hung it to the ceiling. The wand is so cool and works perfectly well for turning on and off the lights.

The bag is packed full and comes with an extra scent vial that is probably two ounces of liquid. Will definitely last a long time!

I absolutely love them. They are pretty sturdy once set up, I have them sitting on the ground and placed a smallish brick on the inside for stability. They also come with string if you want to hang them.
I am going to put a small tea light or fairy lights on the inside to light them up. Both the wire and the paper seem really durable and seem to be made better than other paper lanterns that I've seen. They are SUPER easy to set up.

Promising review: "I have been looking for a terracotta jersey knit duvet cover forever and took a chance with this one. The color is great, a dark terracotta/rust color. It’s soft, but if I had to be knit-picky it isn’t as soft as other jersey knit fabrics I have felt.

You can see my pair in the photo on the right. I totally agree with the reviewer below — these take a little time to break in, but they are *well* worth it! I have a seven-month-old baby who exclusively travels with me in a carrier. I can comfortably go up and down the stairs of our walk-up, walk to the park, grocery store, subway, etc.
, while carrying her when I wear these shoes. They give me a ton of height and feel more stylish than most shoes I'd feel comfortable wearing while carrying my baby. These are the best.
Promising review: " This shoe impressed me with the comfortable cushioned insole and high-quality leather. Breaking in the shoes felt akin to breaking in a pair of Dr. Martens due to the sturdy leather, resulting in initial stiffness and a snug fit (this is where the other reviews suggest sizing up, but I would politely disagree).
Additionally, the shoes are on the heavier side, which is expected given their style and sole height. Overall, while they require some breaking in, these loafers offer excellent quality and style at a reasonable price." — Timberland Customer Get them from Timberland for $130 (available in two colors and sizes 5.

If you ask me, the clever boil-over safe design gives it a subtle, chic cauldron look that'll make your kitchen look witchy in the best way possible.
Promising review: "On top of being very attractive cookware, this cooks very evenly. I made beef barley soup in it and I generally have hot spots that cook quicker than other spots. That was not the case with this pot.
Everything cooked at the same temperature, causing no uneven heat problems. Cleanup was very easy too. I did not put it in the dishwasher but washed it by hand.
It looked as nice as it did when I opened the box. It is also a really attractive and a smart design. The feature to protect against boilovers is really a nice one and it has been a long time coming.
This is so attractive that I almost hate to hide it away in my cabinet. I would readily recommend it." — Kathmom Get it on sale from Meyer for $59.

A pack of 200 (!) window clings that'll look so real when you place them on a window or mirror, you'll find the results truly unbe-leaf-able! Promising review : "These clings look like the real thing! I used to hang real leaves, but that lead to all sorts of issues.
