There are not only candles but accessories for candles, or 'houses' for them. i.e you sit the candle (already in a jar) on a saucer like dish, and place the roof on. These are made from crackled glass, in all kinds of colour schemes. It is truly beautiful, all of it. All sorts of sizes too, but I like the small one because you can have more than one in a room.

I'd recommend you leave a young child elsewhere - it's less scary that way.
