Happy Earth Day!

On April 22 classrooms, homes, and workplaces across the the world have been working together to spread environmental awareness and respect since 1970. Today over 1 billion people are participating in Earth Day: are you one of them? 

Earth Day is a global environmental charity focused on informing people of our environmental impact and—most importantly—educating them on solutions. Although only publicly celebrated once a year, Earth Day hopes to inspire environmental respect every day of the year. 

Candle Impressions® Flameless Candles are commonly loved for for being a safe alternative to lit candles, but did you know they are an environmentally friendly alternative too? Here's why:

reducing WASTE

Burning candles inevitably melt down and need to be replaced, but most candles aren't simply made of wax. Many candles come in jars or metal cups, such as tea lights, and have a wick and metal disc. When the candle melts down all of that is thrown out and replaced, but simply "buying" a new candle is just one part of the process. Those candles also have to be manufactured and packaged which takes energy and creates waste. The problem is this process has to happen again and again because lit candles will always burn down. The solution? Candle Impressions®.

Candle Impressions® Flameless Candles are made of quality materials and are built to last. The LED inside the candle will work for thousands of hours—far outliving the life of a wax candle. Your Candle Impressions® Flameless Candle will last you for years, saving you from having to replace it and saving the environment from unnecessary waste. All you have to do is change the batteries, and we've found a way to eliminate waste on those too...

reducing BATTERIES

Candle Impressions® has always been known for having the longest battery run times in the industry. In 2014 we were able to innovate the technology of our Classic Flameless Candles to have a battery run time up to 3,000 hours on a single set of 2 'C' batteries. With the 5-Hour Timer on, that means the candles will last for 600 days! Not only will you never find a candle that can burn for 3,000 hours, but you'll never find another flameless candle that will last that long either. 

Long battery run times is not all Candle Impressions® has to offer. We also manufacturer rechargeable candles for restaurants, hotels, and spas who otherwise would go through thousands of candles. If you use rechargeable batteries in your home, use them in your Candle Impressions® products—they'll work! 

reducing TOXINS, CO2, and SOOT

Many candles release toxic soot and CO2 when they are lit. This not only adds to air pollution outside your home, but can create dangerous levels of Home Air Pollution—yes! It's a real thing. 

If you wouldn't let anyone smoke inside your home, then you shouldn't be lighting candles. You especially should never light candles if you don't know what they are made of or candles that are cheap generic brands. Candle Impressions®, being flameless in nature, does not have the risks of toxic soot or smoke and therefore will never make you question the air quality of your home.

Happy Earth Day! 

Garden Lighting by Paradise®

If you love Candle Impressions® Flameless Candles, then you'll love Paradise® Garden Lighting. Paradise® has a number of Outdoor Décor products that feature the same Realistic Wick Design Candle Impressions is known for. The Flameless Candles used in Paradise® products cast a beautiful amber light, perfect for creating a feel-good summer atmosphere. With Paradise® lighting you'll never have to worry about a candle knocking over and causing a fire, let alone the constant inconvenience of it blowing out in the wind.

Paradise® offers a wide rage of lighting products designed for a variety of yards and patios. Whether you're looking for accent pieces, basic property lighting, or unique lighting effects, there's a garden light for you. Here's a sneak peek at what you can expect from Paradise® Garden Lighting this summer.

Rattan Solar Baskets

Paradise® has introduced a new line of basket solar lights that are made of rattan with a Flameless Candle enclosed. The first thing you'll notice about these solar baskets is the quality: the rattan is perfectly constructed into a spherical basket with durable materials and an obvious attention to detail. From the comfortable handle to the weather-resistant Flameless Candle inside, these baskets are designed to last and will look gorgeous in any backyard, day and night. 

Solar Ceramic Tabletop Owl
Solar Ceramic Jar

What's not to love about these ceramic garden lights? Solar powered and the ideal size for tabletops or picnic tables, these ceramic lanterns cast a flickering amber light, making them as practical as they are adorable. Try hanging these on flower basket hooks to create a focal point on your patio or front porch.

Mini Metal Lanterns

These battery-operated Mini Metal Lanterns make for great patio decor and add a splash of color to any yard. Hang them from trees or along an overhang to create a fun party-look and the ultimate summer paradise for your family to enjoy. 

One of the best parts about decorating with Paradise® lanterns is knowing the look of the lantern will last. Lighting candles in lanterns damages the base with wax and blackens the glass with soot. Paradise® lanterns are lit by Flameless Candles that eliminate that damage and the risk of fire while still providing you with the beauty of candlelight.

Outdoor Metal Lantern & Plastic Lantern with Candle

Whether you prefer traditional or modern style, Paradise® has a lantern for you. The perfect size for placing directly on your deck, these gorgeous lanterns really make a statement. You can jump on the latest trends by grouping them together to create a decorator's dream in your own backyard. Since the Flameless Candles in these lanterns are battery operated, you can even incorporate them into your indoor decor. 

Metal Lantern with Flameless Candle 

This modern and sleek Metal Lantern is our absolute favorite. Battery operated and made of stainless steel, this lantern looks gorgeous with its Flameless Candle flickering inside. If you're like us and can't part with this fabulous lantern during the winter months, bring it inside beside your fireplace or your favorite accent chair for a special winter look. 

These Paradise® Garden Lights will be available at a variety of retailers Spring/Summer 2014. Stay tuned for information on their official store launch and visit www.paradisegardenlighting.com for more information on Paradise® Garden Lighting.

Outdoor Flameless Candles

The nights are warm and the days long. That’s right: it’s patio weather!

Okay, maybe the nights aren't warm quite yet, but if you’re going to take full advantage of the summer this year, you better get ready now. Those nights go fast!

 Imagine this:

The sun is setting. You lean back into a chaise lounge on your patio and take in the smell of the fresh cut grass. You exhale—you’re relaxed. As the sun finally sinks below the horizon, you angrily raise to find a lighter for your candles. Then… tah-dah!

The candles instantly light and you remember you switched to Outdoor Flameless Candles by Candle Impressions® this year. You’re a smart cookie and turned the timer on for 7 PM. You relax again.

Now that your Candle Impressions® Outdoor Flameless Candles are on, you take in the soft glow they cast around your yard. It looks entirely different at night, like a whimsical wonderland. Best of all, you don’t need to worry about a fire starting every time you go inside or the wind blowing them out.

Sounds too good to be true? Let’s take a walk around my backyard…

The Outdoor Remote Control Flameless Pillar Set is a must-have for patio lovers. All of our Outdoor Flameless Candles are made of weather-resistant plastic so they won’t melt in the sun or blow out in the wind. They also all come with a Timer Option and this wonderful set comes with a Remote Control Option, too. The remote is great if you like using lanterns—place them up high, maybe even in a tree, and light them from the ground. Perfect! 

These Summer-Color Flameless Outdoor Pillars can add a pop of color to your patio and create a fun atmosphere for your family to enjoy. Equipped with a 5-Hour Timer, they are great for people who enjoy eating outdoors and are perfect for barbecue decorating. Line these colorful flameless candles along your pool to set the stage for the best pool party of the summer... but you better invite us!

Speaking of pool parties, these Flameless Outdoor Pillars have become popular host & hostess gifts. Bound a thank you card around them with ribbon to give a gift that can be used every night of the summer, each time reminding your friend of the fun night you shared together.

Now these are something to get excited about. The Premium Flameless Outdoor Pillars are available in 3 inch and 6 inch diameters, with heights ranging from 4 – 12 inches. The 6” diameter pillars are new this year, and wow, are they ever gorgeous.

These chic Flameless Pillars truly make such a statement. They’re large enough to place on the ground as stand-alone pieces and cast a beautiful, warm light on their surroundings. Place these beside a large terracotta planter or underneath a low hanging tree and you’ll feel like you’re at an exotic resort.  

Here’s the quick scoop on the features of Candle Impressions® Outdoor Flameless Candles.

Patented Realistic Wick: All of Candle Impressions® Outdoor Flameless Candles take advantage of our exclusive patent on the Realistic Wick Design so they look real, on or off.

Weather-Resistant Plastic: The Flameless Candles in our Outdoor collection are all made of weather-resistant plastic specially made to look like wax. This prevents the candles from melting in the sun.

Timer Option: Whether it’s the 5-hour Timer or Programmable Timer, the Outdoor Flameless Candles all come equipped with a timer for easy lighting.

Toronto Gift Fair

Candle Impressions® has made our way to the polar vortex in Toronto, Ontario, keeping nice and warm at the Toronto Gift Fair in booth 10618.  

The Toronto Gift Fair is part of CanGift, Canada’s largest gift show, and is filled with exhibitors showcasing the latest and greatest in home and garden goods, which is why Candle Impressions® is there, of course! The show is attended by gift retailers who hand-pick unique merchandise for their stores and take part in a week of trend spotting and shopping in over 1.2 million square feet of space. Sounds like heaven to me!

Ben, the Gift Store Sales Manager, has been hanging out with Dolores, our Sales Assistant, at booth 10618. Say ‘hi’ to Ben & Dolores! 

Ben says the new 2014 seasonal flameless candle line is getting tons of “oohs and awes.” This year our seasonal line has over 60 different flameless candle designs to choose from. Just when we got you excited for spring with our Spring 2014 Colors post, we’re getting you even more excited for fall and winter. Here’s a sneak peek:

Our Flameless Tapers and Sentiment Candles have been flying off the shelves. Personally, I am a huge fan of our Sentiment Flameless Candles. Each has an illustration and beautiful message for a loved one, plus they're made of real wax and feature our realistic wick design. The perfect gift!

All in all, Ben says the Gift Fair has been a fantastic success. “It’s a pleasure to be able to educate and introduce people to our new products. Our innovative flameless LED candles are what keep people coming back to us, year after year.”

Bye, bye, for now!
