I like candlelight all year round but especially during this time of year. The shorter days and cooler nights are made so much cozier by a warm glow that comes only from candles. Plain candles will certainly do the trick, but if you'd like a pretty display too, here are some great options. — Ally from From The Right Bank

These votives are pretty inside and out. The organic shape and white glaze are really lovely, and the metallic copper interior will cast a really great warm light.

I love this cedar candleholder that can be used with a refill (or to hold any number of odds and ends). This could be a case where I buy something solely for the packaging, except that Esteban is also one of my favorite candlemakers, and their scents are all wonderful.

| Adorable doesn't even come close to describing these tea lights in the forms of mini succulents. Add light and greenery to your tabletop in one go. These may be my new favorite things. |

Not all electric candles are created equal. This set is made of steel and is completely Scandinavian cool.
