My mom bought me these candles (along with plates and wine glasses) for a Christmas party that I was having. She told me that she had chosen tea lights because they were safe and would burn out fairly quickly in case I was too drunk to blow out my candles. She also told me not to blog that she had said that (oops!), but I was given permission to blog about how her gifts are the best gifts and about how my mom is the best mom, so: Her gifts are the best gifts! My mom is the best mom!
