lovely candlesticks

I'm trying to find some unique, modern candlesticks for a gift, which can be used in the home as well as for lighting Shabbos (Sabbath) candles in the Jewish tradition. If you know of any, leave a comment! :)

I liked these from Nambe and Neiman Marcus

How about these for the gal/groomie who loves to cook???

PERSONALISED spatulas! OMG sooo amazing!
