Odds are low that anyone would think to duplicate this gift choice! Recipients will treasure your unique and extremely useful present.

Choosing a Garden Lantern

Generally crafted from metal or stone, garden lanterns contain ornate compartments with patterned sides and a vented or overhanging top. The decorative sides allow air to flow evenly so tea candles burn continuously. An overhanging rooftop protects the inner candle from rain ensuring the candle remains lit even in a shower or storm. Vented covers offer small openings for airflow but still work to keep rain out. Oil filled lanterns burn continuously for hours using citronella or lamp oil.

Manufacturers use rust resistant metals like bronze and copper. The metal looks new even after years of use. Some garden lanterns have glass sides that shine brilliantly when the candle is lit.

Because there is a large variety of lantern styles, it is easy to customize the overall look of your patio or garden space. Use Japanese style lanterns in a rock garden or hang a glass courtyard lantern from hooks on your deck roof for a romantic outdoor nook.
