***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***
Who doesn’t love candelight? The soft glow, the romantic mood, the fire hazard… wait, forget that last part. Well, you can literally forget about that last part thanks to the bright minds behind this week’s giveaway from Smart Candle. Their flameless candles take the mess and worry out of setting the mood at your next dinner party, couple’s night in or spooky séance (if you’re into that sort of thing).
We were a smidge skeptical of these faux candles at first, but after receiving a set to take for a test-run, we were pleasantly surprised. The rechargeable LED light has an incredible way of flickering so randomly that you’d have almost no idea they weren’t real. Plus, their tea-light size means you can drop them into just about any of your existing votive candle holders if you ever need a change from the modern, frosted glass cups that Smart Candle provides (or even some cool luminary bags to line your front walkway). They’ll even look great in your windows during the holidays.
And the good news is that we’ve got TWO 4-pack gift sets up for grabs (each retailing at $52). To enter, just comment on this post with the words “I’LL FAKE IT” by Wednesday, May 27 at 8pm EST. And while you’re at it, tell us what other imitation items you happily rely on. Are you all about buying generic grocery store items? Do you gladly show off your faux-croc loafers? Do cover bands really get you going?
We’ll select our two lucky winners using random.org and announce them later in the week. As usual we only accept one entry per e-mail address, but Smart Candle ships globally so everyone on the entire planet has a shot at the prize. Good luck…

I know it sounds crazy, but my mom actually plants fake flowers in her yard. As in, literally fills her flower beds with silk flowers planted into the ground. No one can ever tell and she gets complements all the time on her garden! Zero effort is required for watering, etc and her flowers are always in full bloom and gorgeous. Hilarious!
Terrah says
Ooh, I’ll fake it! I’ve been needing some of these for my pineapple lanterns. :)
I buy imitation food some times and always get the generic brand vitamins. It’s practically the same, right?!

I really do have the most atrocious English vocabulary (I’m a displaced Scandinavian in New Jersey!) but people think I am incredibly smart since I keep mixing in random French words here and there… Sometimes those French words are not even truly French! :)

I’ll fake it! I recently tried the stone spray paint on a child’s play kitchen set. Then I covered it with many coats of high gloss sealer. It *really* looks like granite! Faux granite counter top for a kiddie. Not bad!

I can’t do without silk plants… I have a black thumb and everything dies at the sight of me so its my only hope of greenery.
Jill says
I’ll Fake It! I think my husband would certainly appreciate it, since he’s always worrying about how many candles I have lit. :-)
I buy generic cereal mostly, the Market Pantry brand. Seems just as good to me.

I always buy generic band-aids for my kids. Band-Aid brand is really expensive, and when you have kids who like to wear bandages as accessories, the cost adds up.

Whenever someone asks me a question that I don’t know, I usually concoct some lengthy complicated answer that is almost always B.S. Of course, I never give medical advice that way :)

I go generic when I can, but sometimes I just can’t do it!
I love the idea of being able to have candles on the table again. With a 2 1/2 year old, we have not had a candlelit dinner in a WHILE.

-Being on a budget as a college student, generic brands will save a few bucks in my pocketbook.

I’ll fake it! I love my spray paint that is the fake oiled runned bronze look… people never know the difference! I am currently spraying my cheap shower curtain rod.. can’t wait to see just how chic it looks!
Sarah says
“I’LL FAKE IT” = honestly, my favorite fake is my purse. Aside from that, name brands and the real deal aren’t horribly important to me. I guess maybe I like fake plants. They add color to the room, but I can’t kill them!

Resin coral – you get the beauty of coral without contributing to the destruction of coral reefs.

Here in Spain there’s a supermarket chain which happens to be “local” for us, since its products all come from our region. The closest store to us is… 18 yards from our front door, so we buy pretty much everything there. They happen to have a store brand line including EVERYTHING on earth wich is extremely cheaper most of the times and except for shampoo, the quality is outstanding. I know we’re lucky with that.

“I’ll fake it” with my wonderful “Wal-Bourke”, I recently purchased an imitation giraffe purse that I carry everyday, love it, hence the nickname. It’s pretty convincing until you touch it, fake leather. Oh well, it’s fun!
marika says
I’ll fake it!! I used to fake homemade chocolate chip cookies – by “baking” the little squares of chocolate chip cookie dough you can buy. Took people years to learn the truth…
