We’d been camping one weekend a couple of years ago when we saw the most enchanting lights we’d ever seen on a neighboring campsite. They looked like little green fairies flying all through the trees.
“I wonder if I can find those on Amazon. I think we have to have those,” I told my light-loving husband.
“When have you ever not been able to find anything on Amazon?” he asked. “They’ll probably beat us home.”
Sure enough, we arrived home to our very own box of fairy lights.
My stepson says he thinks they’re the single most interesting purchase of all our camping equipment. He especially likes to see the lights stream through campfire smoke.
I can’t disagree. We use them in our own trees at home, and right now they’re upstairs shining down as a backdrop to the Christmas tree in our living room. In fact, I just ordered some for our grandchildren so that they can admire them just like we do.
We love white lights, colorful lights, and firelight. In fact, we’ve also recently discovered Campfire Colors, which take an average fire and make it like a box of Crayola crayon flames for about a half hour. It seems like only children might like these, but we’re two grandparent-aged adults who still love roasting marshmallows and admiring lights.
If you’re looking for that new item to add to your Christmas decorations and gatherings, these are two you may want to consider. You can find the fairy lights here on a Cyber Monday deal today, and the Campfire Colors here, also on a Cyber Monday deal. I do not profit from these sales, nor am I associated with these companies, but I wanted to share the fun we’ve discovered in two products that bring a sparkle of joy to our nighttime outdoor fun.
Happy Decorating!
