Mix them in with some of your larger candles, maybe on a stack of books. I always group my candles together.

Do you have books on a shelf,or family pictures? The candles would look nice there.

I have a smaller glass case where I have some family photos. Several of those photos have small, flameless candles in front of them. One of my candles is in front of two larger pictures of my parents' wedding day in a two-panel glass frame. It looks so pretty lit up at night.

I put mine on my window cell with some tiny pots. I put some flower seeds in, and thier starting to grow. I bought them from the dollar store.

I have a collection of rose bowls that are a bit too small for the larger flameless candles because of the narrow opening, so the votive size works well in them. During the holidays, I nestle votives inside my garlands.

Thank you all so much, all the suggestions are perfect for me........I am so excited now as I will know what to do as I am not a decorator. When I do have a few guests they say it looks like a doll house but not frilly really just soft and pretty things.........all flea market........and I choose each piece, actually I buy most of my things at a place where they get donations of furniture and glass pieces and pictures and if you buy from them it gives the disabled jobs........so I go there first and have found so many things over two years...........from $1 to $10 and it is nice.........prices are way low and I don't mind paying more as it gives the disbled jobs.........these are ones that live in a place with the company............so they have a room and get help and get to work........really nice. SO I am so excited about using all of these suggestions.

Inside smaller lanterns. I have a number of small lanterns that are just the right size for what the flameless candle industry is calling a votive (much taller and thinner than a real wax votive, by the way).

There are also tea lights and those seem to be the same general size in both real and in flameless candles. I'm not a fan of flameless tea lights because of the battery life and having to use the flat batteries that can be so expensive. I hope they get the technology better in those to where the batteries last longer.

I mix the ones I have in my china cabinet and curios. I also have one in a display with a crystal vase and statue. I wish they would sell these in sets of 3 or 6. I find them so useful and easy to place anywhere. I would love to put them on the edges of my one staircase. I've seen how nice that looks when they display the lanterns on the set.

Putting them in a pretty little tea cup is cute too if they're small enough--with a tiny bouquet of flowers and some books or picture frames.

Make a little grouping with larger candles. Place them strategically on book shelf or end table. Put one on each bedside table.
