Lifelines Rechargeable Flameless Candle Aroma Diffuser — $30.00

A flameless candle like this pick promises the same cozy ambience without the safety concerns of a flame candle. (Plus, it’ll last longer.) It also doubles as a diffuser, dispensing a pleasant scent (based on the choice of oil) for up to 50 hours on a single charge. The LED light flickers like a real flame, and it’s a cinch to operate: “Light” it by removing the lid, and “blow” or “snuff” the candle to power it off.
