Candles and lighting are great additions to your Tabletop Department and Gift Sections. Numerous varieties were displayed to select from at the shows, but among the ones that stood out was Design Ideas' Lumenae, which combines a traditional candle's warm flame with the modern style of a light-emitting diode (LED). In each candle's base a flameproof hollow containing a battery-operated LED emits radiant light. Candles transform to illuminate a rainbow of colors or can be set to one mood-reflecting shade. New is the Snowflake Lumenae with carved snowflakes and a brushed weathered coat of white paint to enhance the contrast. For more information, call Design Ideas at 800-426-6394. Display stands and a light-show box are available for POS impact.

Another shiny find is The Austrian Atelier's unique artisan candle designs. Ranging from Christmas trees to Valentine's hearts to geometric designs, these contemporary waxen art forms stand in silvery metal stands created to suit each piece. This U.S.-based company also features embroidered items and ceramics from Austria. Check out the designs yourself at www.theaustrianatelier.com, or call 877-925-9999 for more information.

More fun may be had at Theo and Hugh with a candle collection ranging from luminaries that won't overpower the scent of your meal to Tiki god candles that add personality to any cocktail party. Great for cross merchandising in any department, the candles are made with high-quality details and strong colors. A minimum order of $300 is plenty to start you out on a collection of items you can merchandise throughout your store. For more information, call 305-762-4100.
