This candle creates a new one as it melts


How cool is this! Candle wax is great for recycling, but it tend to be hard to melt, pour and set to dry without clogging up your sink or ruining your pottery. This The Rekindle candlestick holder by designer Benjamin Shine makes it easy, very easy. The wax melts back into the holder, creating a new candle on the spot. All you have to do is insert a new wick, and it looks as if even that is taken care of!

This guy is my new hero. I think he is awesome….
