The keyword for buying flameless candles that capture the warmth and authenticity of the real deal is "premium."

Any candle-lover will appreciate the automatic timers and the thought of never having to replace candles or clean up wax spills, not to mention eliminating a fire hazard.

The iconic Chemex glass coffee maker ($47) has been a cult favorite for over 40 years, delivering strong coffee without a trace of bitterness or sediment. The only draw back? Having the patience to slowly pour a kettle of boiling water while the coffee brews and drips. The Chemex Automatic Coffeemaker ($350), however, delivers the same quality on its own in minutes!
