Transform with a hurricane candle holder

The very first hurricanes used in lighting were designed to shield the flame from oil lamps and decorative lanterns. They were especially helpful when light was needed outdoors or in drafty homes and got their name from the idea that not even a hurricane could extinguish its flame! While they are still popular for protecting a candle flame, their styles and shapes have changed dramatically to provide the right look for any decor.

Today's hurricane candle holder is more than just for candles, however. Their diverse styles, colors and shapes provide more than light. Let's look at a few ideas for using a hurricane:

• The most obvious reason; lighting for a table top, buffet or anywhere around the house you desire flickering candlelight.
• Fill with ornaments or pinecones at the holidays, sand and shells for a beach look or vibrant fruits for a springtime feel.
• Use in the bathroom to hold rolled up towels in a stylish way.
• Drop in a beautiful bouquet of flowers to make a cheerful centerpiece.
• In a larger hurricane, ladle in your favorite punch for a twist on serving beverages at the bar!

So, seeing how a hurricane is much more than a candle holder, glass hurricane holders make a wonderful addition to your home decor accessories. Their practical uses, both in and out of doors, also lend themselves to be a lovely gift. Imagine the bride-to-be opening a set of tulip shaped hurricanes with intricately designed stems in varying heights. Or at a housewarming party, you present your host with a graceful Victorian style candle holder/glass hurricane on a substantial metal base. They will bring pleasure to them for many years to come.
