Yup, got a bunch of those too for comparable reasons: yard-decorative niceties that can be repurposed for candle-like indoor lighting in a pinch. Good point on bartering. Can usually buy smaller ones under $1 during fall clearance.
Problem is their batteries don’t last past two years (if one even).
Yeah, I noticed that about the batteries. Too bad - I think the ones I got are guaranteed for 3 years. I’ve got plenty of candles stocked up too. :)
