Let's Get Lit Candles

The empty booze bottles scattered around your apartment have led to you being called many things, from "party animal", to "alcoholic", to "Tara Reid". Add "artsy" to the list, with Let's Get Lit Candles.

Based just north of the VA/PA border, Lit makes uniquely boozy candles from real beer, wine, and liquor bottles; now online, they first peddled their wares at malls, then dive bars, a career path first blazed by Tiffany. All bottles are de-necked with an industrial glass cutter and then hand sanded and prepped, having first held assorted wines, hard stuff like Patron, Maker's Mark, and Grey Goose (which casts a goose shadow when lit), beers like Guinness, Stone Arrogant Bastard, and Yuengling, and 40's like Colt 45 -- pour some wax out for your homies, or on them, if they were freaky like that. Nearly all the bottles come in two styles: as standard candles, or as just-invented, gel-encased "Glow Green" votive-holders, easily refillable with custom scented soy votives like "Butt Naked", "Cappuccino", and "Love Potion", previously referred to in your apartment as "Jim Beam".

For just 25 bucks, they'll also candle-fy your own send-in, a great way to commemorate the expensive champagne you drank at your bachelor party, or the half-as-expensive divorce champagne you purchased after your wife grew tired of your squalid living conditions and red-carpet nipple slips.
